Do you realize the trouble with third parties?

By on February 10, 2012

Question by Jared: Do you realize the trouble with third parties?
Many Repubs and Dems have proclaimed they are leaving their party for a new, sucessful third party. However, they don’t realize that it is impossible for a third party to win! Which is why I believe Mark Levin has it right and Sean Hannity has it wrong. Hannity has expressed interest in a third party, while Levin has said it is more worth our time to reform our parties instead of attempting third parties. Who is right: Hannity or Levin, abandon or reform?

Answer by BO the Magic Jeep
Populist issues over the years our country has existed have been co-opted by either or both parties and rendered the third party irrelevant.

Do you think the minor UK political parties (UK Independence Party, BNP, Green party) will ever be voted in?

By on February 1, 2012

Question by Pig on a stack of money: Do you think the minor UK political parties (UK Independence Party, BNP, Green party) will ever be voted in?
It seemed kind of pointless any of them running for government this year… did they think they could have won? They had almost no votes by comparison to the major three parties.

My mum said they’re probably hoping to get in in 4/8 years time. Do you think that will happen?

Btw I have nothing against these three parties, in fact I voted for UKIP.

Cheers

Best answer:

Answer by NeoNerd
UKIP had, over the country, far more votes that some of the minor parties who got seats. They just have a very spread-out base of voters.

What animals can be connected to political parties?

By on February 1, 2012

Question by veggieleezy: What animals can be connected to political parties?
I’m trying to come up with new animals for the Republicans and Democrats as well as include the three biggest “minor league” parties (Green, Libertarian, and Constitution). I’m trying to think of animals that suit their political ideologies/personalities. I’m using this link for the parties’ philosophies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_parties_in_the_United_States#Politics_comparison
Any and all help is appreciated.

What values do the political parties represent in USA compared to Australia?

By on January 9, 2012

Question by : What values do the political parties represent in USA compared to Australia?
In Australia we have two major political partys, labor and liberal. the liberal party is more conservative and is somewhat more religious and dislikes immigration to some extent. The labor party on the other hand, seems to try to adapt to the modern society.

Im just asking, what are the two major parties in the USA? and which one is more like labor and which ones more like liberal (if it is possible to make a comparison between the US and Australian political parties)

Cheers

Best answer:

Answer by God
First of all, if you bordered mexico and were flooded daily with thousands of gang bangers and anchor babies, you may have a somewhat different view on immigration.

But to answer your question, we have the Republicans and the Democrats. I guess the Republicans would be the liberal party and the Democrats would be the labor party.

The difference between the two is the Democrats suck, and the Republicans blow.

Both parties tax the heck out of everyone and spend all the money on different worthless things, bankrupting the country. But since most people are part of one party, they don’t want the other party to win, so they continue to vote for the epic failures that these two parties represent. It’s the reason America is free falling in relevance and quality of life.

Cheers

Why is it everyone is ANGRY at both parties, but we never see any third party being prominently elected?

By on January 7, 2012

Question by “Deal with it!”: Why is it everyone is ANGRY at both parties, but we never see any third party being prominently elected?
Everyone seems to be whining about both republicans and democrats, and they say throw the bums out, but every election cycle, it’s republicans and democrats still…

It’s safe to say not many third party candidates will be elected this November either. Why does everyone whine and complain, but when they have a chance to change it, they vote for the same two parties that have been fist fighting for decades?

Best answer:

Answer by Stedway
Third parties are either too focused on one issue or too radical for most Americans.
