These two parties have had a hold on political offices for over a hundred years; as a result, they are constantly competing with each other for majority ruling completely alienating the smaller parties. However, the big two do not leave very much room for the smaller groups to have an impacted in politics; in fact, they are set up to hardly be able to compete because…

Lastly, the final theme of the theory is about candidates and legislators. Politicians or soon to be politicians see what certain groups want and what will lead to the success of their campaign. It is no coincidence that they tend to appeal to the public’s concerns and wishes as much as possible, if they show a lack of interest then the groups will disregard them as a candidate to vote for. Bishin writes, “In so doing, group members make it clear that they intend to be active and thus signal…

Median Voter Theorem works well in certain conditions: two party system with majority rule which produce a consistent aggregation of individual preferences only if preferences are restricted to take a certain form. If the number of candidates is less than three always have stable equilibrium. Each voter’s decision to vote for either one of two parties will depend on how close each party’s ideological stance is relative to the voter’s ideology. If they were on to each other at the median of the…

On October 5th, I attended the State of the City Address with seven of my fellow classmates. The event was so exciting to attend and hear about Mayor Cranley’s agenda for the future of Cincinnati in the upcoming year. Also, I was curious about if and how he would discuss Issue 22.

I found this very…

Imagine if you lived in a country where you had no fair and equal say in government. Your opinions on how to run the country would be skewed, contorted, and misrepresented. This is our reality as citizens of the United States on presidential election days. The votes are not fair under the Electoral College, today’s system of electing our president. In this system, citizens vote for electors in each state who convene in December to decide the next president. For numerous reasons, the Electoral…

I believe that America would prevail if we had stronger political parties. It would not only bring a sense of order but would also bring out the true party affiliation of the candidates. These days elections are focused on the candidates characteristics and what they have done for their society or county and what they have been known for, but yet they aren’t actually known for what they want for their party to overcome any obstacles in order to be an over achieving nations.

Following republican logic citizens began to believe an economic stake in society was important to be able to vote wisely.

Johnson understands that this race will be tough, for he sees that his opponents have large followings and hold great influence over America. Yet he is trying to give this nation another option, a liberal option. Johnson disagrees with how Trump and Hillary want to run things. He has immensely different thoughts on almost every subject. But he will allow himself to be as guilty as they are,…
