Alan Musk’s new party entry in America’s politics
Ever since the tension with US President Donald Trump, Tharbapati businessman Elon Musk was constantly making rhetoric against him, talking about the formation of a new political party. However, Musk has now announced the formation of a new political party in the name of ‘American Party’. After this announcement, the chances of changing politics in America have increased because there has been a political fierce battle between two parties here.
Alan Musk is also known for his attitude. With the announcement of the political party on their behalf, it has now been decided that Musk will keep openly challenging President Trump. Musk, along with the announcement of its new party, said that this party will give people back freedom.
Small parties i.e. third party
As such, America works under the multi -party system, in which 2 parties have dominated from the beginning. In the politics of this place, sometimes Republican and sometimes the Democratic Party has dominated and there has been a change of power between these two parties. Apart from Republican and Democratic, Reform Party, Libertarian Party, Socialist Party, Socialist Party, Natural Law Party (Natural Law Party), Constitution Party and Consultation Party and other parties participated in the party (Green Party) She has been taking These are called third party here.
There are many reasons for the failure of small parties in the US and the flexibility of the US two party system. To win elections at the national level, any party must attract the widespread basis and interests of voters. The politics of these two major parties has been mostly on the basis of centralist i.e. medieval. Many times there is a very minor difference between the two parties on many important major issues, especially about foreign affairs. On some issues, conservative democrats are seen adopting a policy like a conservative Republican compared to liberal democrats.
Fighting election for small parties
During the election, the names of the Democratic and Republican Party candidates are automatically included on the General Election Ballt, while small parties have to sign a sufficient number of voters registered to get the names on the ballot in a sufficient number of voters and it is extremely expensive.
Especially during the presidential election, this process is very heavy on the pocket. Therefore, most small parties stay away from it. Since the 1970s, the Presidential Election Campaign (Primary and Cocks, National level Conference and General Elections) have been publicly funded through a tax checkoff system, under which taxpayers can decide that a part of their federal tax ($ 3 for a person and $ 6 for a married couple) to be appointed as the Presidential Election Campa Whether or not.
Small parties also problems for funds
Democratic and Republican Presidential candidates get full federal financial assistance for the general election, but a small party will get a part of this Federal Fund only when its candidate has got more than 5 per cent of the votes in the last presidential election (at least 25 per cent of the national votes in the last presidential election are entitled to all the party -equal funds). A new party contesting the presidential election is entitled to the Federal Fund after the election, if it has got at least 5 percent of the national vote.
So far, apart from Democratic (establishment in 1828) and Republican, no other party has achieved great success. During the general election, small parties have definitely achieved some success. However, since the Republican Party (establishment in 1854) in the 1850s reached the status of the important party, small parties have been limited to limited electoral success, these parties are limited to influencing the campaigns of these two parties or snatching important votes from a party, so that the parties concerned in the presidential election can be stopped.
Small parties have been spoiling work
For example, in the 1912 presidential election, former Republican President Theodore Roosevelt challenged Republican President William Howard Toft, which distributed the votes of Republican and Democrat Woodrow Wilson managed to win the presidential election with just 42 per cent of the votes. Similarly, in the year 2000, Green Party candidate Ralph Nadar got 2.7 percent votes and held the election in favor of Republican candidate George W. Bush. If Nadar had not been in the field, then Democrat could win the candidate Al Gore’s account.
In such a situation, Alan Musk takes forward the political journey with his new American party, then this challenge will not be easy for him. In the US presidential election in America, sometimes Republican and sometimes Democrat candidate has won. Both these parties have also been occupied in general elections. In such a situation, an aggressive strategy has to be made to make Musk a place.
