Political parties specifically the Democratic Party and the Republican Party (or the Grand Old Party) play huge roles in the government as it determines based upon the victor of the presidential election how the government will be ran. On one hand the Democrats power base was of "organized labor, urban voters and immigrants. During the 1950s and 1960s they took on "big government positions" where they sided with federal intervention in regulating business and also associated itself as an advocate for civil rights movements. However, Republicans advocated for the white-collar middle-class, and pro-business which was seen as "middle America". This party was very against the Vietnam War, and during this time were very opposed to civil rights legislation. So depending on each parties ideologies, whether it may be due to geographical factors, religion or other social issues base how their point of action on certain situations would…

Today, the two most prominent forms of government are the Parliamentary form of government, often known as the Westminster system seen in the commonwealth nations; and the Presidential form of government seen in the United States. Throughout the years, many debates have been discussed over the question of which form is better; no definitive answer has ever come forward, for the exception that they are both quite different in theory and in practice. Principally, the difference among them is the separation power seen in the Presidential system, and the coexistence of power seen in the Parliamentary system; represented chiefly by party discipline. However, more than this difference alone separates the two.

When looking at politics, totalitarianism and a liberal democracy are about as opposite as you can get. Totalitarianism is basically a dictatorship whereas a democracy is freer. In a dictatorship everything down to what you can eat is controlled. A democracy is about as free as you can get and you have a say in pretty much everything through the power of voting. All the options you have in a democracy, such as where you live, what your social status is, and what you do with your time is all up to you. In Lord of the Flies, both types of government are very apparent through the two main characters’ actions. Jack is a controlling jerk, who forces kids to be in his group, whereas Ralph, the original elected leader, gives each person a choice and a chance to speak when making decisions. Jack’s leadership, representing totalitarianism, Ralph’s leadership, representing a democracy, and how dictatorship can easily take over a democracy are all very apparent throughout the book.…

On July 6 1984, the fourth Labour government were elected into parliament after defeating the National party in a snap election. 1984 can be regarded as a major turning point in New Zealand political history in the sense that significant political changes affected the whole of the New Zealand society, economy and political structure. New Zealand government's experimented with radical Neoliberal policy programmes to achieve economic and social progress during this period.

This essay shall compare industrial relations reform in Australia and New Zealand during the 1980s and 1990s, integrating both institutionalist and interest-based approaches.…
