	Party system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Party systems are usually created by a variety of factors, such as the type of electoral system used in a state.
		A party system is a concept in political science concerning the system of government in a state where political parties exist.
		The party system of a state determines how many political parties in a state have a realistic chance of becoming the government, usually through winning elections.

	Dominant-party system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A dominant-party system, or one party dominant system, is a party system where only one political party can realistically become the government, by itself or in a coalition government.
		However, in some dominant-party systems, opposition parties are subject to varying degrees of official harassment and most often deal with rules and electoral systems designed to put them at a disadvantage or in some cases outright electoral fraud.
		Dominant-party systems have been criticized because corruption and insensitivity to public demands tend to arise for lack of an effective opposition.

	Libertarian Party - Third Party Encyclopedia
		The Libertarian Party claims to currently be the largest third party in the United States, a nation which is overwhelmingly dominated by two major parties who typically capture more than 95% of the vote in partisan elections.
		As in any political party, there is some internal disagreement about the platform, and not all the party's supporters advocate its complete or immediate implementation, but most think that the USA would benefit from most of the Libertarian Party's proposed changes.
		The 1988 Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate Ron Paul serves as a Republican Congressman from Texas, and is also a member of the Republican Liberty Caucus, a group of libertarian-minded members of that party.

	EE
		There are different types of party system; for instance, we have the one party system in China; the dominant party system in Japan; the two-party systems, in the United States and Britain; the multiparty system in Sweden; and the two-plus party system in Germany.
		One-party system is a kind of form of government where there is only one political party controls every level of the government and no other opposing parties are allowed.
		Thus, the Chinese Communist party is in control of the political system in China with a membership of 5 percent of the whole population.

	Conservative Party (UK) Encyclopedia Article @ LaunchBase.com (Launch Base)
		The party's economic reputation was, however, dealt a fatal blow by the 1992 Black Wednesday debacle, in which billions of pounds were wasted trying to keep the pound within the European ERM system of exchange rates at an overvalued rate.
		The Conservative Party is descended from the Tory Party, one of the two ruling parties of 18th and 19th Century British Politics, and its members are still commonly referred to as Tories.
		Conservative modernisers point to Afriyie's election as evidence that the party is changing, though opponents argue that the election of a single black MP doesn't count for much against the perceived right-wing anti-immigrant campaign fought by the Conservatives in 2005.

		However, a stream of this, known as the one party dominant system, can exist in democratic states.
		The type of party system which exists in a given state tends to be a product of such factors as the form of government that is in practice, what is prescribed in the constitution, the presence or absence of deep social cleavages, tradition, and so on.
		These systems always have the possibility to evolve into a two party system because other parties are allowed to participate freely in the political system and provide alternatives to the governing party.

		Party government occurs in parliamentary systems in which the executive depends on continuous party discipline and has the means of reinforcing it should it lag.
		The parallel with India’s successful democratization under the dominant Congress Party, which had both a nationwide institutional structure and an inclusionary stance with respect to the country’s diverse groups, is striking.
		The survival and longevity of opposition parties may be determined either by opposition control of subnational government (prospects for this were debated), or by what happens within the majority party itself—the extent to which internal pluralism is to be tolerated is still being determined within the anc.

	AllRefer.com - Egypt - The "Dominant Party System" - The Ruling Party Egyptian Information Resource
		In Egypt's "dominant party system," a big ruling party straddling the center of the ideological spectrum was flanked by small opposition "parties of pressure" on its left and right.
		The party did not make high policy, and many of the policy recommendations of its committees, such as calls for the application of the sharia and abolition of the public sector, were simply ignored by the government.
		The party's ideology was generally too vague and ambivalent to determine government policy, but it authentically expressed the stake of its constituents in both a massive state and an open economy.

		Labor's defeat in the 1977 Knesset election, however, transformed the dominant party system into a multiparty system dominated by two major parties, Labor and Likud, in which neither was capable of governing except in alliance with smaller parties or, as in 1984 and 1988, in alliance with each other.
		From the establishment of Mapai in 1930 until the 1977 Knesset elections, Labor (and its predecessor, Mapai) was the dominant party.
		During the postindependence period, party politics, in particular regarding competition between Labor and Likud and their respective allies, continued to be vigorous.

	Georgetown Journal of International Affairs: Forum Dominant Parties and Democratic Defects by Matthijs Bogaards
		Political scientists have long struggled over the definition of a dominant party, but there are four criteria that most conceptualizations take into account: 1) the threshold for dominance; 2) the inclusion or exclusion of opposition elements; 3) the presence or absence of divided government in presidential systems of government; 4) the time-span under consideration.
		According to the Italian political scientist Giovanni Sartori, for example, a party becomes dominant in a parliamentary system after three consecutive electoral victories.2 For the purposes of this article, a dominant party system will be one in which a single party has won a parliamentary majority in three consecutive multi-party elections.
		Similarly in a presidential system of government, the dominant party must capture the executive office for three consecutive terms.

		It is approaching 13 years since the “dominant party system” died in 1989 and, even allowing for its delayed burial in the elections of 1996, it is time to think about what sort of “a system” has replaced it.
		It was a system that regularly elected the same party to government both nationally and in most of its federal units.
		Under a strong Prime Minister, the dominant party kept the Indian ship of state from breaking up in the high seas of poverty, class conflict, caste divisions, language rivalry, religious animosity and all the rest.

	Parliament
		To keep the party organized, three groups must be kept together: those who vote for it; the small minority who are active in its constituency associations; and the party in Parliament.
		If they refuse to support, the party in control of government will be incapable of passing legislation, which deprives them of almost all their power.
		This in a sense gives the third party more power than the two other parties that received more votes then it did.

	Rider University Newswire Story
		Mendilow describes how the relative stability of the dominant party system from the pre-independence era was shattered in the 1960s, and replaced by cluster parties that vied for power in the ideological center, only to decline and be replaced in turn in the 1980s and early 1990sby ideological party blocs locked in decentralized competition.
		With the separate election of the prime minister since the mid-1990s, there has been yet a third profound realignment in party structures, ideologies, and modes of campaigning, according to Mendilow.
		Jonathan Mendilow, professor of political science, is the author of a new book, Ideology, Party Change, and Electoral Campaigns in Israel, 1965-2001, published by the State University of New York Press.

	Notes for October 27th
		One major reason to determine the party system is the electoral system.
		A political party is a group of officials or would-be officials who are linked with a sizeable group of citizens into an organization.
		Also elections under the PR electoral system have higher participation.

	Debatepoint
		In an effort to attract voters, each party will adopt planks of the other party's platform, leading to the appearance in some skeptics' minds of a one-party system.
		The real problem is integrity and the system where, at leat in presidential elections a large majority in theory could loose because of the electoral college, and how the loser in each state is not taken account of.
		That is right, since most of the third party are narrow minded, focusing on a specific issue, they will less likely to create girdlock with the other 2 big parties, and more importantly, certain amount of gridlock is vital against tyranny.

	Advantages of the Single Non-Transferable Vote
		But, at the same time, the system encourages parties to become highly organized, and to instruct their voters to allocate their votes to candidates in a way which maximizes a party's likely seat-winning potential.
		While SNTV gives voters a choice among a party's list of candidates, it is also argued that the system fragments the party system less than pure PR systems do.
		In Jordan, SNTV has enabled a number of popular non-party pro-monarchist candidates to be elected, which is deemed to be an advantage within that embryonic party system.

	Essay or Coursework : Does Britain have a two party system?
		There are five main features of a two party system: The first is that the two main parties must have a parity of power; that is they must both have similar amounts of seats in the Commons when looked at over a large period of time.
		To examine whether Britain has a two party system we must first determine what a two party system is and what its features are.
		As well as discussing whether other Party systems apply to Britain and whether the same applies to other elections in Britain such as for the Welsh Assembly and the Scottish Parliament.

		In the immediate future, the institutional context, the nature of the new political parties and prevailing political culture in Tanzania imply that multi-party politics will amount to the introduction and consolidation of a dominant-party system.
		The 1965 'Interim' Constitution formalizing the one-party system had introduced competition between two candidates for seats in the National Assembly within the single-party framework.

		Another Libertarian was seeking the party’s nomination, but it was felt that I would be a better representative of the party, particularly in the TV debates which I was assured were almost certain to include the eventual Libertarian candidate.
		For a party putatively in favor of opening up the political process and being dedicated to principle (as in "the party of principle") this was an astonishing political gaffe.
