built 140 days ago
Submitting a Bill on Political Parties was a requirement on the part of the Government under the Roadmap. It aims at providing political parties with proper legal clothing in their registration, organization and functioning. Parliament took four sittings of debate on the bill between the period of 26th April 2006 and 22nd June 2006. The debate went well on all four days. The primary debate on the bill’s policies and principles ended on 22nd June 2006.

Political Parties, along with other political organizations (such as Political Action Committees, or PACs) have the ability to increase the political effectiveness of individuals by bringing them into an aggregate. The importance and distinctiveness of parties as political organizations spring from their domination of electoral politics. Candidates are identified solely by party affiliation on the ballots and, although many candidates in the United States now use television advertisements that omit this information, the party label is still the principal cue for the voter at the polls.

This version of Political Parties conforms closely to the printed volume, which covered 1,019 pages in 8.5" by 11" format. For readability on a computer screen, the double-columned text was converted to single columns. To facilitate citing the book, all pagination of this version matches pages in the printed version.

Image 4. Political Parties are relatively non-ideological. But both parties do have platforms and attract distinct groups of followers. The Republican Party is clearly the more conservative and appeals to the general business community. The Democratic Party is more liberal and appeals to labor groups, trail lawyers, the entertainment industry, and minority groups. One can look at the political parties as alliances of interest group organizations.

The origin and development of the American political parties stand entirely apart from the U.S. Constitution. Nowhere in it are they mentioned or even anticipated. Throughout American history they have been instruments of the democratization of the Constitution as well as a result of that process. The parties and their system of loyalty transformed the electoral college and the entire process of electing an American president into something approaching a majoritarian decision.

Still, in the aftermath of the Parliament very specifically saying no to the Bill on Political Parties, what would be the validity of the Presidential Decree that introduced Rules on Political Parties which had similar principles and concepts? What will happen, as a matter of principle, to law made by decree if subsequent proposals for actual legislation are refused by the legislature on any grounds, petty or proper? Will that rejection of the House operate to nullify the decree and bring an end to the life of the decreed rules?
