Two political parties have dominated the United States: the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. The term “Third party” is used in the United States to describe any political party besides the well-known Republican and Democratic parties.

The author analyzes how indigenous people’s movements in Latin America transformed into viable political parties. For her, these new parties are good for the democracy because they enrich and enhance the legitimacy of the political and electoral system.

In Italy all of the six hundred and thirty seats in the legislature are elected through the Additional

voting system best accomplishes all of these conditions, and could be implemented for use in the United States?
