| | Single or Multi-Party System? |
 | | It was the structural composition of the post-colonial state that encouraged the emergence of `winner takes all' politics and the politics of exclusion that became manifest in the adoption of single party systems in several African states in the immediate post-independence period. | | | In a number of states notably Nyerere's Tanzania, the adoption of a single party system was indeed an honest attempt to address a potentially dangerous situation. | | | They thus concluded that only the single party system in which all the various tendencies in their societies are forced to compete within a single defined arena, could guarantee national integration, avoid the fissiparous tendencies inherent in opposition politics and harness most effectively the energies of their peoples for the purpose of nation building. |

| | Political party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This party may not always be, however, identical to the government, although sometimes positions within the party may in fact be more important than positions within the government. | | | Although minor parties may sometimes be allowed, they are legally required to accept the leadership of the dominant party. | | | More commonly, in cases where there are numerous parties, no one party often has a chance of gaining power, and parties must work with each other to form coalition governments. |

| | Sobran Column --- The Single Party |
| | When he is elected president of the United States, he is to complete the consolidation of the two parties into one huge big-government party. | | | The Single Party must go on pretending that it’s Double. | | | And George W. Bush is completing the transformation of the Republican Party into a full partner of the Democrats in making the government as big as possible. |

| | Single-party state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Supporters of a single-party state often appeal to a sense of unity, strength and commonality that a single-party government can lend a state. | | | States in which a single party is constitutionally linked to power (or the provisions of its constitution are currently suspended while a single party rules) are coloured in brown. | | | Also, some one-party states may allow non-party members to run for legislative seats, as was the case with Taiwan's Tangwai movement in the 1970s and 1980s. |

| | As you can see we are talking about one single party, the corporationÂs party, the party of those who finance all of this, and the party of those who decide who the candidates will be and who will exercise this power |
| | Let me offer an example, and I wonÂt address BushÂs case here, everyone knows that Bush won by one single vote, we canÂt really talk of percentages of voters in his case, he won the election because of a 5 to 4 vote in his favor in the Supreme Court of the United States. | | | These were multi-party elections attended by five parties, four of which formed the Cpalición Progresista Nacional (National Progressive Coalition): the Partido de Acción Progresista (Progressive Action Party), headed by Batista himself, alongside liberals, conservatives and republicans, all supporting BatistaÂs candidacy. | | | This was due to the fact that this membership was not principally defined by programmatic or ideological principles, but rather by electoral possibilities; in other words, the party members drifted from one party to the other seeking the best chances for election. |

| | Libertarian Party (United States) - Open Encyclopedia |
| | Unlike the Greens (one in Maine), The Constitution party (one in Montana) the Independence Party (one in Minnesota), the Progressive Party (six in Vermont), the Republican Moderate Party (one in Alaska), and the Working Families Party (one in New York), the Libertarians currently have no representatives in state legislatures. | | | The Libertarian Party has run in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia in four elections: 1980, 1992, 1996, and 2000, although an intraparty dispute in 2000 led to a different candidate being listed on the ballot in Arizona that year than in all the other states. | | | The party has also made the repeal of drug prohibition laws one of its priorities, a position that puts them at odds with the Republican Party. |

| | Also, ask your attorney this: if acting as a Single Party broker is declared to be also acting as an agent, would the company have broken the law which is a misdemeanor? | | | Therefore the possibility exists that, at a later date, there will be a class action suit claiming that in all transactions in which a company acted as a Single Party broker, they were really undisclosed agents, that they violated the law by acting as agents; and, as such, did not use reasonable care. | | | A Single Party broker, who has a written agreement giving him authority to act for the employing party, has a duty of obedience and may place his employing party in a position of vicarious liability for his actions. |

| | Single-issue politics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Single-issue politics may express itself through the formation of a single-issue party, an approach that tends to be more successful in parliamentary systems based on proportional representation than in rigid two-party systems (like that of the United States). | | | In the 1880s, the third government of William Gladstone made British politics in practical terms single-issue, around the Home Rule Bill, leading to a split of the Liberal Party. | | | The term single-issue voter has been used to describe voters who make decisions on who to vote for in many instances based on the candidates stance on a single issue such as whether they are "pro-life" or "pro-choice" or whether they support gun rights or gun-control. |

| | The Anti-Masonic Party (also Antimasonic) was a 19th century minor political party in the United States. | | | As its name suggests, it strongly opposed Freemasonry, but in fact was not a single-issue party, aspiring to become a major party. | | | A reason why the party disappeared was that Andrew Jackson was a Freemason and his pride in the institution combined with his popularity and the prevalence of Freemasons amongst the Founding Fathers led to a distinct lack of support for the Anti-Masons. |
