The Partisan

Last, a group of scholars focus on the relationship of partisan polarization and political participation, in particular voter turnout. Unfortunately, only a few studies empirically and rigorously test the polarization’s effect on voter turnout as well as the mass political behavior as a whole. Some articles deal with the topic and present results of analysis, but most of them rely solely on descriptive statistics. Abramowitz and Saunders (2008) conclude that ideological polarization in the…

As leaders in their parties, Hamilton and Jefferson only served to encourage the partisan divisions. The two members of Washington’s cabinet had different views on government. From as early as the Constitutional Convention, Hamilton was clearly a Federalist and Jefferson was clearly an Anti-Federalist. These philosophical differences…

Some Things Will Never Change Since political genesis, opposing views readily combat each other for the right to dictate policy. Seen first in Predynastic Egypt, small political centers/politics began arising along the Nile River, with certain cities/city-states controlling importation of domesticated animals, and as a result, the economy. Opposing views will likely never change. For a number of reasons, Republicans and Democrats will never consolidate into one Centralist Party- lack of…

Adolf Hitler, who came up with an idea that Jews were a threat to the German race. The persecution and mass murder sponsored by the Nazis motivated the Jews to resist against the Nazi oppression, both as a group and as individuals. Jews formed partisans and attacked Germans in the ghettos or behind the front lines in the forest. Despite the desperate efforts of the Jews to resist against the Nazis, Nazis had murdered almost everyone involved in the resistance and continued the genocide. Of all…

Why or why not? Explain. I don’t believe that judges should be appointed by a committee, because they run the risk of violating the Judicial Code of Conduct at some point. When a judge is elected they are not swayed by special interest group or partisans, as I come to learn their main purpose to see their interest win, and by doing so will only make our judicial system appear to be impartial and unfair. Let’s look at the trends on the monetary aspect of these groups, during the 90’s theses…

is tied on partisanship, the parties have to work hard to ensure the members vote for the party line, instead of defecting to vote with the other party. The unfortunate component of this tie, however, is that in order for any legislation to pass, partisans have to either vote against their party, or create a compromise.…

in the EC possess is the ability the switch the way the will vote no matter what party elected them. This can help partisan politics become a source of major controversy. Faithless electors are those who are elected by one party or the other to be placed on the EC and when the election comes around, they will vote in the favor of the other party. Some states with very separated partisan sections can impose fines to ensure the vote of the elector will go to the state’s majority party. Seeing as…

represents us, let them represent themselves. With our most recent election I’ve had friends approached by republican voters who apologize for the election of Mr. Trump into office, sobbing. If that isn’t the clearest example a mental reinforcement of a partisan identity I don’t know what is; sounding like a die-hard fan, apologizing for the rough play of the home…

(Riordan, 2015). Thus, unlike Bill Shorten and the labor government, Turnbull and the liberal government have not committed to a republican movement plan. Furthermore, a significant factor in the failure of the 1999 referendum was the lack of bi-partisan support, particular that of the Prime Minister at the time, John Howard. My proposal intends to push Turnbull to support Shorten in prioritising making…
