Types of Minor Parties Ideological Parties Single-Issue Parties Economic Parties Splinter Parties

Dana Carvey (SNL) as Ross Perot

Ideological Parties Party bases on a particular set of beliefs on political issues to include social and economic issues Examples: Socialist Party Socialist Workers Party Communist Party Libertarian Party Green Party

Single-Issue Parties Party that focuses on one public policy issue. Usually the party name is that issue. Examples: Free Soil Party (1848-1852) Prevent the spread of slavery Know Nothing Party (1856) Oppose immigration Prohibition Party (1869-P) Ban the sale of liquor Women’s Party (1913-1920) Females the right to vote

Economic Parties Usually bases in certain region, especially for farmers, based on protesting depressed or bad economic conditions Examples: Greenback Party (1876-1884) Populist Party (1892-1908)

Splinter Parties Party that split away from on of the major parties. Usually formed around a strong personality who failed to win his major party’s Presidential nomination Examples: Bull Moose Progressive Party (1912) R States’ Rights “Dixiecrat” Party (1948) D Henry Wallace Progressive Party (1948) D Reform Party (Ross Perot) R/D

The Role of Minor Parties Bring issues or problems to public attention Alternative to the two major parties “Spoiler Role” cost one of the major party candidates to loose the election (pulling votes away) 2008 Presidential Ballot President and Vice President Green Cynthia McKinney / Rosa Clemente Republican John McCain / Sarah Palin Libertarian Bob Barr / Wayne A Root Petition Ralph Nader / Matt Gonzalez Democratic Barack Obama / Joe Biden Constitution Chuck Baldwin / Darrell Castle

Why 3rd Parties Fail Electoral College (Winner Take All) Winner of the State popular vote, wins all of that states electoral votes. Looser gets no electoral vote. National popular vote does not reflect the electoral votes Requires huge sums of money to run for political office Most Americans fall under the ideological blanket of the Democrat or Republican party U.S. political systems designed only to support two major political parties

Bush: 50,455,156 271 Gore: 50,992,335 266 Nader: 2,882,897 0

Clinton: 44,857,747 370 Bush: 39,798,913 168 Perot: 19,722,042 0
