There needs to be some benchmark for establishing a third party candidate on the general election ballot otherwise it could be abused by nefarious forces. I chose 65% based on the concurrent majority theory from our constitution. Its not applied the same way obviously but that's where I got the number from.

I like these ideas.

The one that is most gray to me:

"New parties would need to have at least 65% of participation as the established parties."

Tell me more about why 65% and not 50% or 51% or 30% or 70%. Seems arbitrary.
