Political Party Organization national state local

Party Systems one-party system the party captures control of the government and does not allow other parties to form; most one-party systems allow elections, but they are not competitive because only that party’s candidates appear on the ballot--China, Cuba, Iran, No. Korea two-party system where two major political parties compete for control of the government; different parties might control local, state, and national government--United States multiparty system many parties compete for control over the legislative branch of government (the head of the government is the leader of one of the major parties in the legislature); these systems usually arise in countries with a strong parliamentary system-- Germany, Italy, France, Israel, Japan

The Role of Minor Parties A third party or minor party is any party other than the two major parties. Their common thread is that they believe that neither party is meeting certain needs. A third party runs a candidate to propose a remedy to the situation and/or to draw attention to their specific issue(s) or ideology. single-issue party focuses exclusively on one major economic, social, or moral issue ex: Free Soilers, Prohibition Party, Women’s Suffrage Party, Right to Life Party ideological party focuses on overall change in society rather than on one single issue ex: Communist Party, Socialist Party, Libertarian Party splinter party splits away from one of the two major parties because of some disagreement ex: Progressive (Bull Moose) Party, Dixiecrats, Green Party
