It would be pretty hard to get rid of the two major party system without putting some mechanisim in place for preventing people from voting to one of the two major parties.
I think ending the closed party system will be on the ballot in November so we'll see how many people forgot why we put in a closed party system in the first place.
Since most people vote for one of the two major parties, and you can't stop that from happening, an open primary assures that the weakest and most ill qualified win the primary for that party.
