The Party: Why The Failure Of The Party

Generally speaking, anyone who lives in the United States of America knows that there are two main political parties—the Republicans and the Democrats. Having two main parties has its advantages and, of course, its disadvantages. For example, in By the People James E. Monroe and Rogan Kersh (301) point out having this type of system creates “predictability and stability.” However, they also declare (301) it can “lead to a gridlock.” This is not a new concept either as there has been a divide since the beginning of both parties. The two parties more often than not disagree on various issues, while rarely agreeing on what is best for the country.

The Know-Nothing Party, also known as the American Party, was a secret party that was very well known and came from middle class and working class backgrounds. I was a political group from the United States between the years of 1840’s to the early 1850’s. This group was an anti-immigration group that also opposed followers of the Catholic church. Some of the members believed that the Catholics had intentions of taking over the United States. The intent of the group was to keep Catholics and immigrants from holding any political offices. They were also against them holding jobs, being business owners felt that you needed to be true Americans. In 1854, the group officially became the Know-Nothing Party and became very popular in the North because

The Democratic party has become an unmitigated disaster, thanks the Third Way corporatist strategy implemented by president Obama and the Clintons. Under the leadership president Obama and former DNC chair debbie Wasserman Schultz the party has lost over 900 state Legislature seats, 69 house Seats, 13 Senate seats, and 12 governorships. The number of seats lost are unacceptable, despite the clear disaster many Democrats claim the Party is fine. The more intelligent establishment Democrats appear willing to move in a Progressive Direction though some of their recent actions have proved otherwise. In order to save the party progressives must abandon the corrupted DNC and instead align with the newly formed Justice Democrats. The debate between

Due to the lack of Congressional response of both Republican and Democrats alike, stagflation and globalization, coupled with the Tech boom and the shipment of manufacturing jobs overseas, aided in the demise of a once robust labor union. Financial deregulation, another nemesis of the labor unions caused major taxpayer losses due to the Federal Reserves fraud and perpetuated greed during the Savings and Loan debacle. This crisis was the result of lax government oversight and a fraudulent ponzi scheme which some would link to the undervalued American dollar. Congressional legislation at this time aimed more for increasing inflation and cutting taxes for the extremely rich than focusing on what should have been the main priority: increasing manufacturing, reducing importation, and labor union employment.

With his announcement on August 2, 2015 Prime Minister Stephen Harper set in motion a 78-day election campaign, one of the longest and quite possibly the most expensive in Canadian history (Maloney, 2015). The structural constraints posed by the first-past-the-post electoral system, and the institutional constraints of the parliamentary system and campaign spending legislation were all potentially beneficial to Harper and the Conservative Party, but his underestimation of strategic voting and the power of social media, combined with his use of polarising debates and the decision of many popular incumbent Tory MP’s not to run, led to his party’s downfall and the creation of a Liberal majority government. This essay delves deeper into the factors behind the Conservative Party’s loss in the October 2015 Canadian election, in an attempt to understand why they were unable to secure a fourth mandate and come out first-past-the-other parties.

For the record, I don't think either party should be doing this. However, it is very hypocritical of the Democrats to say that the Republicans are obstructionists when the Democrats advocated the same thing against an outgoing Republican President. The lack of maturity on both sides is mind-boggling. Good grief people! If you advocated one position and flipped on it later, then don't lie about it. Tell what your original position was and state why you were wrong at that time or why you changed your position. It is this type of behavior that makes people not trust politicians.

The Republican Party's central leader by 1980 was Ronald Reagan, whose conservative policies called for reduced government spending and regulation, lower taxes, and a strong anti-Soviet foreign policy.

The proles are affected economically by The Party because they are the bottom of the social class. The proles are meant to do all the hard work that the Outer and Inner Party members are not willing to do. They are in the worst part of the country or region, with the buildings all crumbling and broken down. There is a limited amount of supplies within the production and the party are constantly lying about it, these is being created by the Outer Party workers. The Party keeps them tied down to the lottery making them believe they will win money. They are feed with propaganda that the surrounding powers are trying to take them under their power to make them slaves of work.

Although America has long been a bipartisan government, it would be more beneficial to move to an open multi-party system to give Americans more choice in its elections, and more political diversity. Third-party running candidates in America are always a possibility, but are majorly overshadowed by the already well established Democratic and Republican party candidates. Many Americans would prefer an alternative to our current system, but are either bullied into conforming to it, or are convinced that third-party is a waste of a vote. One of the main reasons we stick to either Republicans or Democrats is because it is familiar and we oppose change. The two-party system is not the best system for America and could be improved upon greatly..

The name of my political party is the Bulwark Party. This name was partially inspired by the word “bull,” while is used to describe male elephants (Shoshani, 2015). Also, the word bulwark means “something that provides protection for or against something (Bulwark, n.d.). Even though the current and sole Republican candidate for this year’s election (Donald Trump) is widely detested for numerous reasons, his Democratic challenger (Hillary Clinton) is also viewed as distastefully, if not more so. Considering this, the Bulwark party is named as such because many Republicans do not have adequate understanding of human nature or the diplomatic tact needed to tackle some of the problems that the United States faces today. As physically stronger social fauna defend their families, it is the responsibility of this country’s citizens to preserve liberty by actively fending for themselves and their families from interlopers who threaten to destroy it.

X. When the Second Party System collapsed, the Whig Party was no longer influential and the Democratic Party was divided. This resulted in the Whigs losing power and many of them joining the Republican Party. The Democrats had divided into two sections, the North and South (pro-slavery and pro-popular sovereignty). The collapse of the Party System allowed the Republican Party to step in a take power/control. The Republican Party had a lot of support from the Northerners mainly due to Lincoln's goal to end the spread of slavery. Many people favored Lincoln and he won the election.

The Know Nothing group had gotten its name from when its members would deny their affiliation by saying “I know nothing”

I am attracted to the Democratic Party. I took the political party quiz and answered the questions as honestly as I could. I found the questions to be very interesting and versatile. After viewing my results I looked into The Green Party some more. I am basically an environmentalist and believe taxes are affecting the lower classes and something needs to be done about it. I agreed with all of these issues.

At the end of World War One in November 1918 the Labour Party emerged as a strong political Party. Prior to this it was the Liberal Party that was expected to be the main opposition to the Conservatives, with Labour as a party who used the popularity of the Liberals to become noticed. However, it soon became apparent that the Liberals were a weak and flagging party who were unable to unite as one to make decisions. It is evident that the First World War may have been an important factor in the growth of Labour and the decline of the Liberals.

What would happen if the people against the Party started a rebellion? Could the rebels overthrow the Party, or be defeated by the Party’s strong power it holds?
