Third Parties Third or minor parties DO exist in US elections major 3rd party candidates that changed elections Election of 1912: Teddy Roosevelt (Bull Moose or Progressive Party) Election of 1992: Ross Perot (Independent Party)

Third Parties Why haven’t any won the presidency? People think their vote won’t count Electoral College works against them (must have 270 electoral votes to win); winner takes all Not all third parties are listed in all states Not all third party candidates are asked to participate in national debates Its hard to raise as much money as the RNC or DNC

Third Parties Even though one hasn’t won yet, it is still possible Some have specific goals and are often short-lived, while others last for decades Political scientists group them into 4 categories Economic protest parties Single issue parties Ideological parties Factional or splinter parties

Economic Protest Parties Seek to accomplish that which changes an economic situation Typically farmers and laborers Examples: Populist Party (1887 – 1908): mostly poor white cotton farmers in South and poor wheat farmers in the Midwest; supported bimetallism, etc. Greenback Party (1874 – 1884): opposed the shift from paper money back to a coin-based monetary system because it believed that privately owned banks and corporations would then reacquire the power to define the value of products and labor

Single-Issue Parties Champion a specific goal, focusing on nothing else Examples: Free Soil Party (mid-1800s): created to restrict the movement of American slaves into the western territories (goal became Republican, party dissolved) Know-Nothing Party (mid-1800s): wanted to end immigration (Eastern European Catholics being the primary targets) Prohibition Party (early 20th century) Woman’s Suffrage Party (early 20th century)

Ideological Parties Typically longest lasting third parties Never have come close to winning an election, but have existed over 100 yrs Examples: Libertarian Party (3rd largest party today) American Communist Party American Socialist Party

Factional or Splinter Parties Form when a major party implodes When the Democratic or Republican party has broken into two sections it becomes weaker and is likely to loose the election (but you also know that many people have that ideology) Examples: Rep Party split (TR vs. Taft in 1912), Dem Wilson won Dems split in 1948 (Dixiecrats formed), Rep Eisenhower won

Third Parties Third parties are good because they remind the two major parties they need broad-based coalitions to win (aka be more moderate)
