What is a Political Party A group of people with broad common interests who organize to win elections , control government & influence policies
Theocracy • A government dominated by religion • Muslim clergy – Controls the Islamic Republican Party
Communist Come to power by Force Cuba North Korea Vietnam China Non-Communist Iran Mexico Problems – lack of differences & choices 1 Party Systems
United States Two major parties Republican-elephant emblem Democrat – Donkey emblem Third Party Independent France – 5 party Italy – 10+ parties Problem with so many…Hard getting enough support to control Gov’t Coalition Govt – groups share power (usually unstable) Multi-party
Third Party – 3 Categories • Single Issue – 1 main issue – • Social, Economic or Moral Issue • Ideological – focus on overall change in society rather than an issue. • Splinter Party – splits from one of the major parties (Progressive – Teddy Roosevelt or Reform – Ross Perot)
Impact • Often takes votes from one party. • Many times helping the other party win… • Intentional?? • Unintentional??? • Election of 1992 • George Bush / Bill Clinton / Ross Perot
Party Organization • National, State, Local Offices – staffed with paid leaders and volunteers. • Precinct – local unit • Ward – several precinct that are in the same area to make up a district
Limitations are put on contributions by one group or person … why???? Corporations Labor Unions National Banks Patronage – Favors given to reward loyalty to members. Government jobs, contracts, appointments What are the ethical issues with this? Campaigning
Questions • Do you think unlimited campaign spending can lead to political corruption? • Is the threat to free speech a valid argument for not limiting campaign spending? • Are the wealthy favored in the campaign process?
Historically…How are candidates nominated? • Caucus • Nominating convention • Primary Election • Petition
Caucuses • Private meetings of party leaders • Start at neighborhoods • County • Congressional District • State Level • 19 States use Caucuses today
Nominating Convention • Official meeting of a party to choose candidates for office. • Representatives are sent to next level • Local to • County to • State to • National Nominating Convention • Delegates are chosen to go • Problem - Bosses
Bosses • Powerful Party Leaders • 1900’s – led to primary election due to public reaction to bosses.
Primary Elections – Most Common • Direct Primary – election to select when party members run in general election • Closed Primary – only members of a particular party can vote • Open primary – all voters participate • Governed by state laws – in normal polling places.
Primary Elections • Winners generally do not have to have a majority to win. • Plurality – more votes than opponent to win.
Petition • Filed Petition with a specified number of voters, who have signed to have their candidate placed on the ballot.
Presidential Nominations • National Convention • 50 States • Guam • Puerto Rico • Virgin Islands • District Of Columbia • Task – to select a ticket. • Candidates for President & Vice President
History of Convention • 1800-1824 – leaders met secretly • By 1916 - ½ states chose convention delegates • By 1970’s – women, minorities, young people included as convention delegates. • By 1996 – 44 states included
Today's Primaries • Parties often change rules – States often operate differently. • Democrats primary in Michigan & Florida this year – did not count…why?
3 Generalizations • A delegate selection process or presidential preference poll. • Either – • Primary winner takes all or • Delegates based on number of popular votes received in primary. • Delegated selected on basis of popular votes. Originally---It was winner take all…
Democrats Use proportional representation. Delegates based on popular vote Republicans Use both Winner Takes all and Proportional Representation So….what does my party use?
Primaries….Criticisms • Take too long – time wise. • Play up personalities vs. positions • Fewer vote in primaries – Possibly not the real picture. • Early winners – capture the media spotlight…sometimes bring in extra $$$
National Conventions • Democratic – Next Week • Republican – 2 Weeks • State Votes – used to be same as electoral votes – now complicated formula. • 1000’s of delegates, spectators, protestors and media
4 Committees • Rules / Order of Business • Credentials • Approve delegates from each state • Permanent Organization • Selects chairperson • Platform committee • Writes platforms
Platforms • Statement of principles, beliefs & positions. • How to deal with issues. • Planks- individual parts of platforms that often have members disagree.
Finally • Delegate Voting • Roll call of states until majority has been reached. • Presidential and Vice Presidential Candidates are officially named • Acceptance Speech - Adjournments
What is Anti-PowerPoint Party?
The Anti-PowerPoint Party is a political party born in Switzerland, which wants to avoid the use of PowerPoint presentations around the world. As their leaders say, they don’t want to make MS PowerPoint a forbidden program, they just want to make companies more flexible in the use of other kind of programmes. They argue that would make the number of boring presentations decrease.
Every day, 250 millions of people in the world have to deal with lots of long and heavy presentations. As a solution, they urge employees not to simply read what they see on the screen, but to offer an entertaining and dynamic presentation . Remember that from FPPT, we can help you to make this.
Reasons that made this political party to be born in a country like Switzerland are that It’s the easiest country for creating and joining a political group . This political party aspires to be one of the strongest political coalitions in Switzerland, expanding their power to other countries in the European Union, like Spain or France.
PowerPoint can be a very useful tool if you know how to use it. The main problem here is not the tool but the presenters instead. Trying to be a better presenter and make better PowerPoint presentations is the main goal that all of us need to achieve instead of criticizing the tool.
