Question

what are the benefits ?

Answer 1

yes there are benefits include:
they recruit politicians
offer direction in government
package the issues into simpler ideologies.

Answer 2

Yes there are benefits, without the party system it would be difficult for a candidate to cover an entire region, state or country by their self. The party puts together the events with local members and the candidate shows up allowing the candidate to visit more areas faster that if they has to set everything up. The party also sends information to it's members on behalf of candidates.

Having no parties or more than two parties have given more power to fringe groups.

Answer 3

In authorities that is often significant to no longer get issues carried out. this would appear like a shaggy dog tale although the skill-that-be pick some competition so that they ought to artwork at it. This weeds out the undesirable recommendations from the sturdy. that is evidently a less than perfect equipment, yet as an celebration of a political celebration that had no competition evaluate the Nazi celebration. Now i'm no longer announcing the Dem's or Reps may commence making camps if unopposed yet they could truly bypass stupid regulations.

Answer 4

NO and in the words of Founding Father and first president of the United States, George Washington:

``The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissention, which in different ages & countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders & miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security & repose in the absolute power of an Individual: and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.''


And that's not his only warning that has become our reality!!!

Answer 5

The advantage of political parties is that they are able to speak for a larger group then indivuduals could. We have a representative government in the U.S. meaning that a majority of voters will elect a person that they feel best reflects the majority opinion for that group. We could just disolve government altogether and simply fight or work things out indivdually. This would be a bit hectic and most likely chaotic, but we would all be free.

Answer 6

Wow, I sure don't want to sell the benefits of these rotten political parties. I can't believe there are people who actually subscribe to entire platforms even though they are made up of a hodgepodge of disparate ideas used to stitch the party together.

I suppose political parties keep things organized, preventing us from having 20 million candidates with one vote each. Two votes would make you president under that system.

Answer 7

Funding and support mainly! Political parties tend to raise money among volunteers and associated groups (unions) for their candidates. And when it comes time to vote, candidates gain major support from party members.

Answer 8

The benefit of DEMOCRACY is that each Party can have their Say. In some cases, the color of Blood causes both parties to suffer at the hands of Tyranny.
