Document Summary
De ning political parties - formal form of participation. A perspective that maintains that parties are not organized to advance ideological interests and that they act pragmatically in order to appeal the greatest number of voters at election time. Example: not concerned about interests such as abortion, same sex marriage , etc, instead they are only concerned about bringing in more people: ideologic parties, parties that articulate distinct and consistent world views. Example is conservative government who focus on these small ideologies instead of voters, they have certain views and want people who follow their views to follow them. : pattern of electoral competition that emerges between two or more parties: in history we use to only have around 2 political parties but there are many different party systems around the world: Distinguishing between a dominant party and a non democracy. A political party wins again and again due to having no competition.
