	Single-party state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A one-party system should not be confused with a dominant-party system in which an opposition is not officially prohibited, but it is largely ineffective (has no realistic chance of becoming the government), nor should it be confused with a non-partisan democracy which prohibits all political parties.
		Finally, one-party states have often been criticized for their disrespect towards human rights, however, this is more a reflection on the ideology of the party in power, rather than on the system itself.
		Examples of a dictatorship that is not a one-party state includes military dictatorships wherein the political power resides with the military, who exercise their authority without regard to political parties or elections.

	TAP: Vol 15, Iss. 2. America as a One-Party State. Robert Kuttner. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The United States could become a nation in which the dominant party rules for a prolonged period, marginalizes a token opposition and is extremely difficult to dislodge because democracy itself is rigged.
		Party loyalty was guaranteed only in the biennial election of the speaker, to give the dominant party formal majority status and perquisites.
		The most predictable public-policy result of extended one-party rule would be the completion of the Bush/radical-right project: the dismantling of social investment, regulation, progressive taxation, separation of church and state, racial justice and trade unionism.

	Political Parties in the Legislature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Party discipline is particularly important in parliamentary systems because deviation from the party line could bring down the government and result in the legislature being dissolved.
		Parties in presidential systems are sometimes less structured, and failure to vote with one’s party does not threaten to bring down the government (though it might damage or even ruin one's political career).
		The logic cited by the movement is that political parties in Uganda have historically contributed to regional, religious and ethnic cleavages and violence, and that the main opposition parties are internally undemocratic.

	State Politics Assignment #2, Partisan Competition
		One of the interesting puzzles in state politics is why some one party dominant states become two-party competitive states and others remain one party dominant states.
		The aggregate measure of partisan control of state government may mask underlying partisan trends, trends that are better measured using the percent of the Assembly that is controlled by Democrats.
		A group of state scholars frustrated with the obvious differences between a New York democrat and a Mississippi democrat have developed a set of statistical measures of how liberal each state government is and its citizens are.

	California Political Review, November/December 1997 by Tom McClintock
		The same party leaders who were completely stumped to define a key issue to take to the voters in 1998 were working overtime to kill a resolution endorsing the "English for the Children" initiative.
		Party officials tried to derail the resolution through a hand-picked committee of seven members appointed for the sole purpose of killing the measure.
		It is the party of liberty and the party of paternalism.

	Republican Party (USA) - SourceWatch
		The party is not to be confused with the Democratic-Republican party of Thomas Jefferson or the National Republican Party of Henry Clay.
		In the early 20th century, the traditional symbol of the Republican Party in Midwestern states such as Indiana and Ohio was the eagle, as opposed to the Democratic rooster.
		The party is split on the issue of federally funding embryonic stem cell research, with many seeing it as unethical to force tens of millions of tax payers who believe this type of research is morally wrong to finance it.

	HIMAL SOUTH ASIAN
		As the recent round of elections to the legislative assemblies of four states in India reconfirm the decline of the dominant-party system, it is time to reflect on its implications and on the possible mechanics of the multi-party arrangement that has replaced it.
		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.
		State voters are like state leaders with genuine muscle; fancy boys and girls dropped down from New Delhi don’t play well at the polls.

		This cartel is the political party of the one-party state.
		In the absence of a permanent "opposition party" within the union, opposition to the incumbent leadership is likely to emerge in response to particular issues at different times, and member interest in changing union leadership is therefore likely to be at its highest only shortly before elections.
		[115] The one-party* structure of the union requires that the use of union funds be strictly prohibited, but the incumbent's great advantage in raising funds within the union requires that contributions from other sources not be restricted in the absence of compelling need.

		Since the party in power could vary from one election to the next, K Street had to hire top names from both major parties as a way of ensuring access.

		The state of civil society in other parts of the region is also in a somewhat premature or non-existent form because of similar centralised features.
		In addition to political party actors, civil society groups and their members are seen as another set of actors coming together to urge reforms to the constitution and to ensure that democratic governance is in place.
		What is problematic to the dominant regimes is when these groups become confrontational and raise issues that question the legitimacy of those in power and their right to political authority.

		But by prohibiting floor amendments, DeLay made sure that the bill passed as written by the leadership, and that members were spared the embarrassment (or accountability) of voting against amendments popular with constituents.
		It may feel like an eternity, but wall-to-wall one-party government has been in place only since Republicans took control of the Senate briefly during 2001 — they lost it when Vermont Senator Jim Jeffords quit the party that May — and again since January 2003.
		In other cases, a state party with a legislative majority — Republicans in Texas today, Democrats in California in 1981 —; will redraw district lines that create the maximum number of safe seats for their party.

		The issue of elections is not only important to scholars interested in party politics or electoral systems; it is of particular significance to those interested in the democratisation process, not only in South Africa, but also in the rest of Africa.
		The chapter on gender and the election addresses important issues such as women in party campaigns, the nature of the electoral system with regard to women's election to political office and the implications of the 1999 election results for women.
		A focus on the perceived racist residue in parties such as the DP, NNP and some smaller parties is another related issue which could have been dealt with.

	Democracy Without Competition in Japan: Opposition Failure In One-party Dominant State
		The dominance of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and failure of opposition parties is a recurrent theme in the study of contemporary Japanese politics.
		Scheiner (Univ. of California, Davis) argues that the central explanation of LDP dominance is clientelism, the ability of the LDP to direct government services and resources to its supporters.
		Accordingly, the success of opposition parties will be shaped by their ability to accomplish some very difficult goals: maintain stable alliances, build local party branches, promote a greater degree of fiscal federalism, and deliver a message that transcends urban-rural differences and the bonds of clientelism.

		The LDP has played a significant role in consolidation of democracy in Japan while ensuring the developmental role of the state and government, although it has established a one party dominant state for long time.
		There is, however, democracy and competitiveness within the party in the form of factionalism, leadership circulation and organization of the party.
		However, it is interesting to see that all the parties played fairly in elections without any instances of foul play such as manipulating elections, riggings and intimidating the voters.

		One of the biggest mistakes made by the Democratic Party during the recent election is that, once again, it "misunderestimated" George W. Bush.
		In 2002, the Republican Party won majority control of every branch of the federal government for the first time since 1932: both houses of Congress, the U.S. Supreme Court, the Presidency not to mention most state legislatures and governor's offices.
		Conservatives have also understood that politics involves more than dominating the news cycle or influencing public opinion, and they have not hesitated to use hardball tactics in pursuit of power.

		Rather than focusing on the big picture -- the growing power of the conservative movement in the United States -- much of the liberal rhetoric during the campaign focused on Bush's incompetence, his character flaws and the failings of his administration.
		In 2002, the Republican Party won majority control of every branch of the federal government for the first time since 1932: both houses of Congress, the U.S. Supreme Court, the Presidency - not to mention most state legislatures and governor's offices.

	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.
		Under what has been referred to as "electoralism" or "soft authoritarianism", opposition parties are legally allowed to operate, but are considered too weak or ineffective to seriously take power.
		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.

		The principal explanations for opposition party failure in Japan focus on the country's culture and electoral system, but neither can explain, in particular, continued opposition failure over the past decade.
		This talk argues that a more plausible explanation rests on the predominance in Japan of clientelism, combined with a centralized government structure.
