Document Summary
This decline has been experienced in most of the western world. Parties are mainly absent in the municipal scene of canada, such as us and france. Even before confederation, in the colonial legis. , they were stable coalitions that resembled political parties. If canadians don"t like political parties, it is because they do not trust politicians and the activities of politics (dishonesty, corruption) Many canadians may agree that instead of disagreeing with each other and scoring points, parties should focus on solving problems. No resolution for the different ideas and interests that parties represent. They are organizations that offer slates of candidates to voters at election time; competing with one another to win power. Eugene f. defines parties as voluntary associations of people who hold broadly similar opinions on public questions = parties represent important differences on issues of public importance.
