Decline in Political Parties in Elections

Television has taken away some of the power of political parties Candidates can easily get out their own

message Can directly access voters

No more party machines! No patronage. Today’s parties are more fragmented

Party dealignment People gradually moving away from both

parties

Responsible Party Model

Present and follow clear goals/policies Minority party must say what they

would do if THEY were in power Accept responsibility for government’s

performance

Page 7: Political Parties. Start with a 2013 FRQ question Notes on Chapter 8 – Political Parties Discussion of looming shutdown and defunding Obamacare

Def: when one party controls the White House and the other party controls one or both houses of Congress

Advantages Check other’s agenda – can’t enact entire

platform Parties have to compromise to get things done

Not a lot of compromise happening in today’s Congress…more to come

Divided Government

Page 8: Political Parties. Start with a 2013 FRQ question Notes on Chapter 8 – Political Parties Discussion of looming shutdown and defunding Obamacare

Party with the control over the most gov’t offices will have the most influence in determining who gets what, where, when and how.

Carry out the policies created at National Conventions (platforms)

Fewer Moderates

Page 11: Political Parties. Start with a 2013 FRQ question Notes on Chapter 8 – Political Parties Discussion of looming shutdown and defunding Obamacare

“Many political observers have lamented the increasing partisanship and dysfunction of Congress. Polarization and the vitriolic politics that it generates have been especially pronounced in the House of Representatives, where the common ground between the parties has vanished as the contingent of independent-minded centrists has disappeared at a remarkable rate in recent decades – from 192 such Representatives in 1972, to 129 in 1992, to just 12 in 2012”

Moderates and Gridlock

Page 12: Political Parties. Start with a 2013 FRQ question Notes on Chapter 8 – Political Parties Discussion of looming shutdown and defunding Obamacare

“The absence of such moderates willing to work across the aisle is perhaps the most powerful example of how unrepresentative our winner-take-all system of elections has become, as an upcoming FairVote analysis on the disparities between the ideological makeup of the U.S. electorate and the U.S. House will explain”

Moderates and Gridlock

Page 13: Political Parties. Start with a 2013 FRQ question Notes on Chapter 8 – Political Parties Discussion of looming shutdown and defunding Obamacare

Pros: Expand the political agenda “safety valves” for popular discontent

Cons: Almost never win office We have a winner-take-all system – NOT

proportional to the percentage of votes received Example (page 244 of textbook): party 1 gets

45%, party 2 gets 40% and party 3 gets 15% of votes – Party 1 wins all (even without a majority)
