Party Affiliation
Difficulty in Adding a New Party
From the Paper
"There are also some institutional factors, which limit the influence of party affiliation by members of Congress. The President and other party leaders may assist Congressmen in their election, but ultimately members are responsible to their constituents first. They may follow an ideological group or a bi-partisan coalition on an issue if it is what their voters want.
"In recent years there has been a growth in earmarks, the funding of specific projects often targeted to a specific Congressman's district. If distributed by the party these can increase discipline and be used as a way of rewarding loyalty. Also a popular president or former president might campaign on behalf of party loyalists, helping out at re-election time."

From the Paper
"The black community of Oakland, California was greatly perturbed due to the failure of Southern white policemen to provide adequate protection for its black residents and the increasing incidents of police brutality targeted at the blacks. The organizers of the Panthers, therefore, aimed to gain justice for black people and dedicated themselves to defend the black community from racist police oppression and brutality. Besides being considered as the perpetrators of injustice and violence against the black community, the police was perceived by the Panthers as the representatives of the status quo and the "establishment" who implemented its anti-Black agenda. Since the Panthers believed that they were fighting the "status quo" the BPP considered itself to be a "revolutionary" party, which was committed to wage a class struggle to overthrow the existing order.

Eric Shaw's "The Labour Party Since 1979", 2006.

Abstract
This paper explains that Eric Shaw's book "The Labour Party Since 1979: Crisis and Transformation" is extremely well written because it chronicles the decline and resurgence of the Labour party by using carefully constructed historical rhetoric and an understanding of the cultural and economic changes, which influenced the Labour reformation. The author points out that Shaw writes that the Labour party needed to change not only because there was rancorous partisanship within its own party but also because the changing times demanded a new approach to Labour's marketing and philosophical vision. The paper relates that the efforts of Kinnoch to change the radical leftists into a more modern and moderate party were the effective means, which lead to the strong position the Labour party occupied going into the 90s.
From the Paper
"By the end of 1983, there was a major crisis at hand, not only had the Labour presence severely diminished, but also the world was about to see the rise of one of the strongest conservative leaders to ever reign in parliament. Margaret Thatcher's approach to government was very different, and her policies were much more practical in its implementation and approach. As a result, the Labour party lacked the organization and the strong philosophical backbone to do challenge the conservatives. From 1983 to 1987, Shaw argues that the Labour party finally became to realize that if it was to survive it had to progressively modernize its fundamental vision."

Abstract
This paper examines how the organization of the Liberal Party could be considered central to the Canadian political spectrum, with an amalgamation of liberal social policy and corresponding modern economic policies. It examines how, back in the formative years of the liberal party of Canada, the political parties during those times were largely scattered and unstable, as compared to the modern political parties of today's times, and coalesced into a cohesive organization only as late as the 1880s. The paper also looks at how the governing coalition of liberal - conservatives under the leadership of Sir John A. McDonald in Canada West and his French - Canadian counterpart, George - Etienne Cartier in Canada East, encompassed a number of distinct groups, many of which had potentially conflicting interests - Catholic and Protestants, English and French, urban and rural. The paper concludes with a look at the reasons for the success of this party.
Outline:
Organization
Base of Support
Political Ideology
Changes in the Party's Political Ideology Over a Period of Time - History
Reasons for its Success in the Federal Elections
From the Paper
"Right and left are shorthand labels for conflicting belief systems. These beliefs include basic notions about how society, the economy, and politics operate, as well as ideas about how these matters should be arranged. Generally speaking to be on the right in Anglo - American societies mean that one subscribes to an individualistic belief system. Such a person is likely to believe that what one achieves in life is due principally to his or her own efforts - that the welfare of the society is best promoted by allowing individuals to pursue their own interests and that modern government is too expensive and too intrusive. To be on the left, however, is to prefer a set of beliefs that may be described as collectivist. A leftist is likely to attribute greater weight to social and economic circumstances as determinants of ones opportunities and achievements than does someone on the right. "

Abstract
This paper starts with an overview of the United State's Green Party's history, including the influence of the European Green Parties, environmentalism, student protests, etc. It then analyzes the rise in popularity of this party since the first election when it ran a presidential candidate, looking at percentage increases in members and elected officials and public opinion of the party. The paper credits this rise to the merging of the Democratic and Republican parties platforms into vague and empty promises and also attributes its popularity to selected environmental issues found in the party's platform.
From the Paper
"After years of development, nonpartisan actions, and progressive policies, the Green Party of the United States has emerged as a persuasive political party whose popularity increases every year. The Green Party was formed to defend such key issues as the environment, human equality, and other forms of global justice. By employing actions and policies that differentiate itself from the Democratic and Republican Parties, the Green Party is able to expand its membership and influence on politics."

From the Paper
"Democracy in the United States is based on the indirect representation of the people by elected officials who are usually chosen by direct vote. Almost from the beginning of the United States' history, however, two parties have shared the great majority of the elected positions from the local level to the presidency. The two largest parties have changed, third parties have emerged occasionally, and smaller parties--that win few offices--have continued for decades. But the existing two-party system has become institutionalized and has added a persistent layer of mediation between the people and their government. There are both positive and negative sides to this system, but in recent decades citizens' faith in the two main parties has declined as the Republican and Democratic parties have had difficulty in reconciling the varying interests of the people who..."

Institutional Revolutionary Party of Mexico, 1991.

From the Paper
"This study will explore the question: Will the PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party) in Mexico continue to lose power? The question involves consideration of the outcome of the political turmoil in that country. In other words, will the current and future policies and practices of the PRI lead to increased democracy, decreased democracy, or even revolution from the left or from the right? The study will argue that the PRI will indeed continue to lose power, that political (as well as social and economic) turmoil will continue and intensify, that revolution from the left or right is possible, if unlikely, and, finally, that the ultimate result of the fall of the PRI will be increased democracy, despite that surge in political turmoil.
The background of this issue is rooted in the Revolution of 1910 in Mexico and the founding of the PRI in 1929. As Perl

Abstract
The defeat of Germany in the First World War came as a tremendous shock to Adolf Hitler and the German people, and is the primary reason why the Nazi Party was able to rise to power. Ever since the founding of the German Empire and Bismarck's victories over Denmark, Austria, and France on the nineteenth-century, the German public had placed supreme confidence in the German Army and its generals. Defeat on the battlefield was unimaginable, so when the armistice ending World War I was signed on November 11, 1918, millions of Germans believed that only treachery and betrayal could have caused such a catastrophe. This paper explains the reason behind the success of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party. The paper asserts that when the Nazi Party was founded in 1920 it took advantage of the belief that the German Army had been betrayed and portrayed itself as the only party that could bring Germany back to a position of superiority.

Abstract
The author notes that the divisive issue of slavery and the passion in the South for state's rights presented the two major parties with challenges they proved unable to overcome and led to the breakdown of the two-party system, which became the principle cause of the Civil War. The breakdown of the two-party system was a slow development, but it was accelerated during the last decade before the Civil War by the weakness of the Whigs and the emergence of the new Republican Party in the North.

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the history of the early Republican and Federalist parties and the birth of the Republican party. The ideologies and inspirations of the Republican party are examined. The writer describes how the Republican party tried to keep the core of moral Protestant values. Further, the writer explains that all the political ideals were built around the ideal of a moral republic - and this conceptual frame shaped the attitude towards slave owners, towards the working class problems and its protection and towards the economic development suggested path. The writer identifies in this paper the roots of the Republican doctrine.
From the Paper
"After the country became independent from the British rule and the colonial government changed into a "local" one, the political parties started to gain more and more importance in the political life, as the civic and political culture of the American people was more and more divided by the problem of slavery. Hence, to approach them chronologically, the initial period after independence was dominated by the early Republican and Federalist parties, mainly formed as a consequence of the need for an organized political life. Centred around the birth and the formation of the young republic, they were spread nationwide and had a sound organizational structure for that time. They had a strong ideological core, because of the specific circumstances of their formation (the creation of a national political arena and of a national government) and thanks to the strong opinionated leaders, who were trying to use the power of governing to shape the character of the state."

Abstract
This paper studies the Populist Party, founded in 1891, to address the economic depression in the post-Civil War era. The paper begins with an analysis of the party's role in American politics at the time, its social reform agenda, and the influence of William Jennings Bryan, the party's presidential nominee in 1896. Next, the paper tracks Bryan's political career, including another three unsuccessful runs for the presidency. Special attention is paid to Bryan's controversial involvement in the Scopes trial, which the author purports may have led to his untimely death.
From the Paper
"Every generation in American history has maintained political characteristics that distinguish it from other eras. Indeed, in light of the terrorist events at the start of this century, contemporary society will likely be remembered as a fiercely patriotic generation that generally supported its President even if there were issues that might have otherwise caused division. Likewise, the Populist Party was a political party that took a prominent part in United States politics during the 1890's. The party resulted from a variety of unsolved abuses, especially the continuing decline in prices of such crops as wheat and cotton. Several small groups of people seeking reforms united to form the party."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Reform Party of Canada lasted for just 13 years, from 1987 to 2000. The author points out that, with such a short lifespan, it might be concluded that it failed as a political party; however, this would be to take too narrow a view. The paper argues that, although the party was short-lived, it left a sizable positive legacy.
From the Paper
"The Reform Party of Canada lasted for just 13 years - from 1987 to 2000. With such a short lifespan, we might conclude that it failed as a political party. However, this would be to take too narrow a view. It can be argued that although the party was short-lived, it left a sizable positive legacy. In particular, it helped western Canadian interests to move from a marginalized position in Canadian politics, and to take up a relatively powerful position at the federal government level."
