A political party is a political organization that typically seeks to attain and maintain political power within government, usually by participating in electoral campaigns, educational outreach or protest actions. Parties often espouse an expressed ideology or vision bolstered by a written platform with specific goals, forming a coalition among disparate interests.

Voting systems

The type of electoral system is a major factor in determining the type of party political system. In countries where first past the post voting systems there is an increased likely hood for the establishment of a two party system. Countries that have a proportional representation voting system, as exists throughout Europe, or to a lesser extent preferential voting systems, such as in Australia or Ireland, three or more parties are often elected to public office.

What political party does my character belong to?
Q. I've created some characters and most of them I can define everything about. Most of them fall into existing political parties however I'm not sure where my newest one falls. His views are as follows. He believes in absolute freedom. He doesn't like oppression and thinks everyone should be equal and that the government is mostly unnecessary. However he still wants a government to make laws as while he does want complete freedom he still feels some laws like don't kill are needed so that a society can have prisons and the criminals can learn that they've done wrong. So what party does he seem to match with?

What political party should I be grouped with?
Q. I support abortion, do not support gay/homosexual/lesbian marriages. I believe everyone should be taxed equally, if rich people have to pay 30% on thier income tax, poor people should have to too, it's only fair. I think anything socialist or communist is bad, I think government should be smaller not bigger. I think going green is rubbish. So, what political party should I be grouped with?

What political party should I make up for Economics?
Q. In our economics class we have to make up a new political party, state all our views, have a target age group/ethnic group, and be able to answer questions after our presentations. I'm doing fine with all the views but I need a party name. Other kids came up with silly things like the pineapple party but I'd like something a little more creative than that. And ideas would be a great help! Thanks!

A. Try "The Conserveral Action Party". It combines conservative and liberal and says Action, which political parties actually don't do.
