As demonstrated by the quote from Hirano, Snyder, Ansolabehere, and Hansen, the popular theory of activists controlling primaries suggests that activists not only force candidates to ideological extremes to win primary elections, but they also compel newly elected officeholders to remain more extreme than they normally would. This forces the party to risk losing the seat, because moderate candidates do better in general elections. Activists find primaries easier to take over than general…

This wonderful research that is going to be talked about is why does racism still occur today and why people can’t a change. Americans can tell you everything that is going wrong but don’t have enough people that want to construct change because they are afraid of what others would think of them. Racism is one of the ways that this society is broken up right now. If people don’t do what change, then why complain about it. Huck and Jim are the type that you would think nothing could change…

There are numerous similarities between warfare and elections. Both involved protracted struggles for power, strategizing, fundraising and research. Political campaigns in the U.S. even borrow several terms from warfare, further demonstrating their congruence.

The results of the 2016 U.S. presidential election…

“There have been a few times this past week when all I wanted to do was just to curl up with a good book or our dogs and never leave the house again.” In her first speech since losing the 2016 Presidential Election, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton perfectly summarized the feelings of millions of Democrats, who, after volunteering countless hours for Hillary Clinton and other Democrats, were left in complete despair when they saw the results of the 2016 Election: Republicans controlled both…

In 2015 the Liberals engineered one of the greatest political comebacks of a generation going from thirty-four seats in parliament to a stunning one hundred and eight four, despite the fact they were trailing in third place when the campaign began (Andrew-Gee, 2015). A victory of this margin deserves to be analyzed if for the mere fact that the Liberal Party will use the victory as a mandate to enact their agenda. This paper will argue that the Liberal Party’s victory was the result of a adept…

Forty-four times during the two hundred and forty year History of the United States of America, Presidents have delivered their first election victory speech. Although some presidents serve multiple terms, the first term’s victory speech marks a change of political and national leadership. Unlike victory speeches of the past, the 44th speech marked a national milestone in the election of Sen. Barack Obama as the first African-American President. The social and political climate at the time of…
