From the Paper:

"As compared to other countries, political parties in the United States are more loosely organized. As for the Democrats and Republicans, they have no formal organization at the national level that controls party membership, party activities and policy positions even though some state affiliates do. Both Democrats and Republicans often become members of their specific parties by merely stating that they are members of the party. Members of each of these parties are not given any specific rights or obligations within the party except allowing them to vote in that party's primary elections. Democrats and Republicans are also not restricted in choices by their parties as one can attend meetings of one local party committee in one day and another local party committee the following day. In fact, a Democrat can register as a member of the Republican Party and vice versa in some U.S states."
