Political party domination

Description:A third party may have a substantial popular following and yet capture few seats in the representative body. In some states opposition parties are subject to varying degrees of official harassment and most often deal with restrictions on free speech such as press club , lawsuits against the opposition, and rules or electoral systems such as gerrymandering of electoral districts designed to put them at a disadvantage. Among the most prominent of these groups are the Democratic and Republican Parties. Historical Perspective It thus becomes contextual to delve into the declining popularity graph of the Congress and ascertain the most plausible reasons that could explain the current downsizing of electoral support for the party from a vantage point. The declining wheel turned a full circle and the Congress is in power now in only six states Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Mizoram and Meghalaya on its own and in Bihar as a junior partner in an alliance. In Great Britain and the United States members of the national representative assemblies are chosen from single-member districts, and the candidate polling the largest number of votes is the winner. In addition to the single-member-district system, in the United States the presidential system induces parties to seek majority support.
