	Single-party state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In most cases, parties other than the one in power are banned, although some systems guarantee a majority for one favored party that ensures the impotence of any parties relegated by law or practice (including rigged elections) to a permanent status as a miniscule and impotent minority.
		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.

	Political party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In parliamentary systems of government, most political parties have an elected leader who, if his or her party is elected by absolute majority, or with a relative majority within the coalition where tradition is thus, becomes head of government.
		In presidential systems, the President may be elected as a representative of his party; however, in many nations he is forced to relinquish his connections with his party upon the assumption of office as head of state.
		One right wing coalition party and one left wing coalition party is the most common ideological breakdown in such a system but in two-party states political parties are traditionally catch all parties which are ideologically broad and inclusive.

	Single or Multi-Party System?
		Those national leaders who opted for one party rule premised their choice on the imperatives of national integration given the dangerous ethnic and social cleavages that pervaded the political and social landscapes of their various societies.
		They thus concluded that only the single party system in which all the various tendencies in their societies are forced to compete within a single defined arena, could guarantee national integration, avoid the fissiparous tendencies inherent in opposition politics and harness most effectively the energies of their peoples for the purpose of nation building.
		Thus, whether a single or multi-party system is adopted, what is important is that the mode of governance should not exclude the spirit of democracy: popular elections, freedom of speech and other basic human rights, the rule of law and accountability.

	Single-party state
		A single-party state or one-party system is a form of government where only a single political party dominates the government and no opposition parties are allowed.
		This is in contrast to one party dominant system in which an opposition is not official prohibited, but it is largely ineffective.
		Single-party states often pay lip service to democracy, but without a choice of ruling party, elections in single party states are largely symbolic.

	Single-Party Period of Republic of Turkey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Robert C. Macauley / The Single Tax Party in 1920
		INJECTED into the arena pf political action through the formation of a separate party committed solely to but a single plank-the collection by government of the entire rent of land-the Single Tax is rapidly becoming a major issue in the economic and industrial as well as the political life of the Nation.
		This fact is attested by the marvelous growth of the Single Tax Party since its inauguration in Philadelphia, five short years ago by five enthusiastic and patriotic men, who had neither prestige nor resources at their command.
		Since then the Single Tax Party has formed organizations in twenty-two States of the Union, twenty of which will in all probability have full tickets in the field to be voted for at the coming election on November 2.

	Single Women May Decide 2004 Election
		In the pivotal state of Florida, single women may have been able to turn what was a nail-biter into a landslide if they had voted at the same rate as the average voter in that state.
		Single women are also more likely to struggle financially and are more concerned about their financial viability than are married women.
		In other words, single women are simply one more key demographic, like the NASCAR dads of 2002 or the soccer moms of 1998 or the angry men or 1994, who were hailed as the new targeted voters one year and all but forgotten the next, they say.

	Afghanistan Maoists Unite in a Single Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The fundamental basis for forging unity was ideological and political principles, in particular MLM as the ideology and the guiding thought of the practice of the Communist Party, and new-democratic revolution as the minimum programme of the Party, as preparation for the transition to the maximum programme, socialist revolution and the final goal of communism.
		The rise of the Maoists also alarmed the revisionist parties, Khalq and Parcham, who after years of activity were being overshadowed and were facing rejection from the masses, especially the youth, because of their stodgy revisionism and reactionary co-operation with the state.
		The Communist Party (Maoist) of Afghanistan faces the crucial test of defending and applying Marxism-Leninism-Maoism in a complex ideological battlefield where monstrous crimes were committed by the Soviet Union cloaked as "communists" and where Islamic fundamentalism has had a deep and pernicious influence in the society.

		After all, this is the same Labor party that imposed the Oslo Accords upon Israel anti-democratically and then turned the country into the Valley of the Shadow of Death.
		And that single issue is the re-election of the Labor party.
		By 1996, the Labor party had produced such a disaster with its mindless Oslo initiative that even the enormous upsurge of sympathy for it after the assassination of Yitzchak Rabin could not save it from electoral collapse.

	Multi-party system - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		A multi-party system is essential for representative democracies, because it prevents the leadership of a single party from setting policy without challenge.
		First-past-the-post is not conducive to a proliferation of parties, and naturally gravitates toward a two-party system, in which only two parties have a real chance of electing their candidates to office.
		On the other hand, if there are three major parties, each with substantially less than a majority of the vote, two of them may find it necessary to compete for the support of the third.

	The Story of Africa\| BBC World Service
		The problem with multiparty democracy was that it had led to the formation of many parties, each with a regional outlook, and none representing the interests of the country as a whole.
		The rise of the one party state was also influenced by the Soviet model, which declared the people and the party as one.
		Rulers found themselves under pressure: firstly from the people, disenchanted with the track record of single party rule, and secondly, from the IMF and the World Bank, which made it a precondition of further loans and aid.

	SHOULD THE LCA remain a Single-Issue Party?
		Party politicians are no longer concerned with advocating their own personal beliefs, let alone the beliefs of those they represent.
		The party has become the sacrament, and that, now, is all politicians strive to protect.
		A vote for a single issue party is also a vote against the current system and state of party politics, and it offers a very viable alternative to mere abstention.

	Editorial On Single Party Brokerage
		Therefore the possibility exists that, at a later date, there will be a class action suit claiming that in all transactions in which a company acted as a Single Party broker, they were really undisclosed agents, that they violated the law by acting as agents; and, as such, did not use reasonable care.

		Although the initial results of congressional races did not indicate the makeup of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, Fox said he is likely to face a divided legislature, in which PAN is a minority.
		He was counting on the enormous party machinery and the almost unconditional loyalty of millions of Mexicans who rely on it for social-spending programs and government jobs.
		Although the PAN is a conservative party, Fox took an independent path during the campaign, reaching out to the political left and recruiting several prominent leftist intellectuals to his side.

	Single transferable vote - Electowiki
		The Single Transferable Vote, or STV, is a preference voting system designed to minimise wasted votes in multi-candidate elections while ensuring that votes are explicitly for candidates rather than party lists.
		In fact the notion of a vote "for a party" is less meaningful for STV because votes are not necessarily for a single party.
		Advocates of STV argue that the apparent disproportionality in STV is indicative of poor support for the party's candidates in second and third preferences.

		When he is elected president of the United States, he is to complete the consolidation of the two parties into one huge big-government party.
		And George W. Bush is completing the transformation of the Republican Party into a full partner of the Democrats in making the government as big as possible.
		The surest proof that we don't have two opposing parties (as distinct from two power-hungry factions) is that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans ever try to reduce the existing power of the government.

	Correspondents Report - Single political party takes control in PNG
		A stampede of MPs abandoned their own parties in recent weeks, to join the Peoples Democratic Movement, led in Parliament by Prime Minister Sir Mekere Morauta, enabling the PM to dump his coalition partner, the National Alliance.
		RICHARD DINNEN: This was the sound of party leaders making deals after the first post-independence election in 1977, trading Cabinet portfolios for loyalty in their bid for joint power.
		He believes the dumping of his party from Government allowed the Prime Minister to re-allocate Cabinet positions, to reward some of the MPs who have swelled his party's ranks of late.
