Third party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Third parties are also, in more recent years, used by voters to send a message to the major party nominations that they don't approve of their politics or stances on issues. Advocates of third parties generally object to the notion that votes are "taken away" by third parties, because the phrase "taken away" misleadingly suggests that the two major parties have a propriety ownership interest in voters' votes.

Correspondence A coalition of third parties need not mean that the eye, the hand, the head or the foot lose their identity, but only that they be individually respected as essential and allowed their proper place and honor as part of the whole. Some of the older third parties have the practice of holding their nominating conventions the year before the elections in order to provide enough time to face the difficult task of achieving ballot access. Rather than attempt to merge the several like minded third parties into a single third party and face a quagmire of litigation and fallout, it would be much better to focus on providing a single Presidential Candidate that will be acceptable to all. usiap.org /Viewpoints/Zhold/Correspondence/ThirdPartyPresCoalition.html   (1079 words)

Third Party North Carolina Third Party North Carolina is an effort to be comprised of various third parties, third party interest groups, independent candidates and their supporters plus any interested citizens who all desire a wider spectrum of choices in the political arena of North Carolina. North Carolina is one of the worst states in regards to the ability to get third parties on the ballot and thus this issue must be addressed in North Carolina where there is a strong case of electoral injustice. A noticeable number of voters will be sought to pledge to no longer vote for Democrats and Republicans and the same amongst non-voters where all such individuals will begin to vote for third parties and independents. unitedwebpages.home.att.net /3pnc.htm   (1054 words)

On Third Partyism A modest rebooting of this blog now that I’m back, on the recently discussed subject of whether it is a kind of infantilism to support political reforms in the U.S. to allow third parties to compete fairly at the polls. This is a comprehensive change, rather than the normal argument for one or two “third parties” through minor tweaking of winner-take-all voting or reforming ballot-qualification requirements. In a sense, this party would have to enter the political system by agreeing to back the agenda of either of the other parties in exchange for systematic reform of the current electoral system to create a level playing field, in a very conscious process of horse trading. www.swarthmore.edu /SocSci/tburke1/perma71404.html   (714 words)

Political party - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch Political parties are often considered on a political spectrum.

law.com - Decision A third party may recover on a contract made between other parties only if the parties intended to secure a benefit to that third party, and only if the contracting parties entered into the contract directly for the third party's benefit. Rather, the focus is on whether the contracting parties intended, at least in part, to discharge an obligation owed to the third party. To qualify as an intended third-party beneficiary, a party must show that she is either a "donee" or "creditor" beneficiary of the contract. www.law.com /jsp/decisionstate.jsp?id=1024078923279   (714 words)

Reason Ideological third parties are in a pretty inescapable trap in our current electoral system—no coincidence, as the rules are written by, and for the benefit of, the two major parties. These days, we have two "third parties" that more or less take seriously certain attitudes implicit within limited factions of the two major ones: the Libertarians for strictly limited government types who find the GOP too statist, and the Greens for environmentalist/anti-corporate/mega-welfare state types who think the Democrats have sold their souls to monied interests. In thinking about third parties' role, one is musing about what tens of thousands of other people should be doing to further the acceptance of their ideas in a big, complicated, multifaceted world. www.reason.com /links/links021204.shtml   (944 words)

Bureau of Justice Statistics Third-Party Involvement in Violent Crime, 1993-99 Third parties may play a role in the formation and escalation of violence, may intervene to stop an assault, or may be an eyewitness. Third parties were present during two-thirds of all violent victimizations between 1993-99. Third parties are persons other than the offender(s) and lone victim interviewed. www.ojp.usdoj.gov /bjs/abstract/tpivc99.htm   (182 words)

Third Party Intervention The terms "third party" and "intermediary" are both used to refer to a person or team of people who become involved in a conflict to help the disputing parties manage or resolve it. Third parties might act as consultants, helping one side or both sides analyze the conflict and plan an effective response. While many different styles of mediation are common, most mediators have the conflicting parties sit down together to explain to each other their views about the nature of the problem and how they think it might best be solved. www.colorado.edu /conflict/peace/treatment/3ptyint.htm   (854 words)

Why a Third Party? Minor parties or third parties have played a major role in American history, and had great influence on the body politic. Both parties showed their contempt for our pro-family positions when they respectively blocked Bob Casey from speaking at the Democratic Convention in 1992 and when Pat Buchanan was treated with such animus by the Republican hierarchy in 1996. Four years ago, in Canada, Prime Minister Mulrooney's governing party was not only voted out of office, but reduced to two members in the Canadian Parliament, replaced by an entirely new "third" party, which swept to power. www.constitutional.net /Luksik/why_third.html   (1197 words)

Reason Ideological third parties are in a pretty inescapable trap in our current electoral system—no coincidence, as the rules are written by, and for the benefit of, the two major parties. I've come to think this is almost certainly the real reason third parties do survive, though publicly advocating personal satisfaction as the reason they are important runs into a "noble lie" dilemma for those who want to see them thrive. Ideological third parties clearly have never been about actually getting candidates into office, unless one is positing (and I know some would have no problem doing so) that everyone involved in them is utterly irrational. www.reason.com /links/links021204.shtml   (1197 words)

Advocates of third parties generally object to the notion that votes are "taken away" by third parties, because the phrase "taken away" misleadingly suggests that the two major parties have a propriety ownership interest in voters' votes. And since the new party rarely seems to have the chance or prospect of electing its candidate for governor of a state or president of the country, the voter is inclined in advance to consider its entire ticket as hopeless. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Third_party_(United_States)   (3588 words)

Third-Party Politics - US News Classroom analyze the factors that contribute to the emergence of third parties. They are “minor parties” because the number of voters who support them is small compared with the two major parties and their candidates rarely win elections.

WorldNetDaily: Hamstringing minor political parties County election commissioners in Syracuse, N.Y., have issued new proposals designed to make it harder for smaller political parties to operate in the state, but third-party officials are complaining that the rules could make it nearly impossible for new third parties to qualify. In New York, Raymond Harding, who heads the Liberal Party, also blamed Republican and Democratic party control of the election commissions throughout the state as the reason why the new proposals are harder on third parties. The bills range from allowing parties who poll 1 percent in statewide ballots access to all races (Connecticut) to bills that allow candidates of unqualified parties to list their party next to their names on the general election ballot (Virginia), and one that legalizes presidential write-in balloting (Nebraska). www.worldnetdaily.com /news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=21853   (944 words)

Third party fantasies - The Washington Times: Commentary When a major party candidate is endorsed by one of these third parties, votes on their line are added to his vote total.

TAP: Vol 11, Iss. 19. Beyond the Third Way. Ruy Teixeira. And while there is substantial individual variation (the German Social Democrats and the British Labor Party have the most in common with the U.S.-style third way, and socialist parties in France and the Scandinavian countries have the least), all of these parties have moved toward the core principles outlined at the beginning of this article. What is "the third way?" According to the joint declaration by Tony Blair and Gerhard Schröder ("The Third Way/Die Neue Mitte"), it is "about addressing the concerns of people who live and cope with societies undergoing rapid change--both winners and losers. That is, in a time of budget deficits, slow growth, and an associated sour attitude toward government, there was a need for an agent to shake the left parties out of their torpor and help them develop a more realistic approach to elections and governance. www.prospect.org /print/V11/19/teixeira-r.html   (1841 words)

Liberty for Sale » Blog Archive » A Eminent Domain Third Party Coalition? I think the LP should take the lead on this and give a ring to the corresponding other third parties and form a Coalition of the Willing to band together on the issues that they agree upon must be fought as a team. Yes, I follow all the third parties to see what they are up to, and have for years. If people with such widely diversing views such as the Libertarian Party and the Workers World Party can agree with each other that Eminent Domain abuse is rotten, that tells me that the great majority of all the other third parties in America would as well. libertyforsale.com /?p=170   (1206 words)

FOX23 News - Coverage & Convenience Speculating on Third Party Candidates In contrast to 2000, third parties pose a greater threat to President Bush in 2004 than to the eventual Democratic nominee, said political scientist Lawrence Jacobs. Minnesota and Wisconsin, where third-party candidates received double-digit percentages of the vote in last year's gubernatorial elections, are among the states where third parties could tip the results of the 2004 presidential race. * Third-party candidacies probably determined the outcome of two of the last three presidential elections, and third parties have received at least 3 percent of the vote in five of the last nine. www.fox23news.com /common/printstory/default.aspx?content_id=ae8bef33-e712-4137-9060-24b0977ffb47   (701 words)

Center for Cultural Leadership That’s all the county parties, all the state parties, all the regional groupings, even the various national entities (yes, the National Republican Congressional Committee is completely separate from its Senatorial counterpart and even from the Republican National Committee). If a third party ever grew large enough to be subject to those laws, it would have to be “organized” the very same way. This is why the majority of county Republican parties in America have an annual budget of less than $1,000. www.christianculture.com /cgi-local/npublisher/viewnews.cgi?category=3&id=1090811690   (1814 words)

Secure key issuing cryptography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia If all of the third parties cooperate they can recover the private key, so key escrow problems arise only if all of the third parties are untrustworthy. Secure key issuing is variant of ID-based cryptography that reduces the level of trust that needs to be placed in a trusted third party by spreading the trust across multiple third parties. The third party provides a "blinded" partial private key, which is then passed on to several other third party in order, each adding another part of the key before blinding it and passing it on. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Secure_key_issuing_cryptography   (228 words)

A short history of the international communist left The split was created by the decision of the Communist International at the Congress of June 1920, which demanded of all the parties the adoption in theory and practice of a precise communist and revolutionary programme, as well as the exclusion of all those raising themselves in opposition to this doctrine and politics. This turn to compromised political forces in face of all the defeats suffered by the working class on the morrow after the first world war, for the construction of new parties, signified definitely the death act of the Opposition as a current capable of realising the construction of new revolutionary parties. The main, primary task appeared to be that of carrying out an international political work aiming to surmount the enormous confusion provoked by this offensive of opportunism in the International, and consequently to stem the dispersion and loss of the revolutionary energies. www.sinistra.net /lib/upt/comlef/art/ashohiscle.html   (228 words)

Third Party Beneficiary - LegalMatch Law Library A third party beneficiary is a person who is benefited by the contract even though he or she has not signed it and is not a party to it.  The third party is not in “privity of contract” with the other parties. Intended Beneficiary — where it is clear that the intent of the contracting parties directly and predominantly benefits a third party, that third party is an intended beneficiary and may be able to bring suit. Incidental Beneficiary — where a party is benefited as a result of the contract, but not because the contracting parties intended it, the party is an incidental beneficiary and has no enforceable rights under the contract. www.legalcenter.com /lc/third-party-beneficiary.html   (228 words)
