Why did farmers think that a new political party was needed to bring about reform

They believed that the two parties were only looking out for themselves and not for the people. The farmers felt that neither the Democratic party nor the Republican party supported their interests. They felt that there should be a third party that should protect them from big businesses and that will not just be a place for corrupt politicians to get even richer. They started a new political party that appealed to millions of small farmers and city workers.
