    Multiple Party System: Change In The Voting Process

    Political parties have been the vehicle for inspiring voters to support fundamental political change when it is needed. Therefore, “even in jaded times, idealistic citizens seeking change turn to political parties to make a difference. (Mills) Out of many party system choices, multiple party systems rise above all the others. Multiple party systems have the ability to create ease in the election process, provide the voters the option to have a meaningful voice, and are more inclined to be more responsive to change. This party system is also the most utilized political category in the nation, such as England, Japan, Germany, India, and Brazil. (Eanes)…

    Why a Multi-Party System in Pakistan?

    Political parties are the flesh and blood of political system. The strengths and weaknesses, successes and failures, pros and cons of a political structure are highly associated with the Political Party System. Giovanni Sartori suggested a method to classify the political party systems on the basis of number of effective political parties. In this way three main political party systems are defined; Uni-party system, Bi-party system and Multi-party system. Each system has its own distinct characteristics and advantages along with disadvantages. In Uni-party system a single dominating party is protected by the constitution to govern. In Bi-party system two major parties contest elections and make governments alternately and freely without the help of other. Multi-party system as Sartori defines is one where no party can guarantee an absolute majority. Governments are coalition based. Around 7 to 10 parties compete with each other and represent different interest groups. But in some countries the number may vary from tens to hundreds. In Pakistan 250 political parties are registered with Election Commission of Pakistan. Why such a big number of Political parties in a country of just 20 crore people? Why this extent of Multipartism in Pakistan? Is this the sign of healthy democracy? Why do we not have Uni-party or Bi-party system? Why Multi-party system in Pakistan? The answer to all these questions is same and its roots lie in the history of our social, political and cultural transformation.…

    Brillantes Review

    More than five centuries of being under the Spaniards, has created a system of government which is highly centralized, bureaucratic, and hierarchical. Not only did the Philippines continue to implement a centralized system of governance, but it also developed a culture predisposed to dependency, and a mindset that looks down on local level institutions. Although centralized governments have their positive aspects, the flaws in the system stand out in the Philippine setting due to the fact that the Philippines is an archipelago composed of more than 7,000 islands, 400 of which are inhabited, and more than 80 Provinces. The difficulty in travel, communication, and access to the far-flung provinces and sitios has made the task of administering so tedious and inefficient. This has resulted to poor delivery of basic services to the various sitios, and opened the eyes of Filipinos to the benefits of decentralization.…

    Filipino People Power Revolution

    The revolution of the Philippines is a story about an economically poor government; a poverty-stricken nation; and a corrupt dictators nearly bloodless ousting. The revolution is key in understanding the current state of the nation, as well as exhibiting factors that have led to the countries current economical state. While the events leading up to the revolution are by no means solely responsible for the poverty of the Philippines, the nation is still recovering from the effects of the incidents preceding the revolution. The Filipino revolution is structurally similar to many of the world s past revolutions. While all revolutions are fought for different causes and have different outcomes, nearly every revolution fits the pattern defined by Crane Briton. The Philippines revolution applies to the outline given in Crane Briton s Patterns of Revolution.…

    Edsa Revolution

    The 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution made a very significant mark in the Philippine history. It was a four-day series of a peaceful rally against the Presidency of Ferdinand Marcos. This rally brought down Marcos from Malacanang and was then by replaced by Corazon Aquino. The revolution lasted for four days, from February 22 to 25, 1986. The peaceful revolt was named after Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA), the place where many Filipinos gathered to have their peaceful protest. EDSA Revolution was also known as the “Yellow Revolution”, after Aquino’s campaign. One of the main cause why Filipinos protested against Marcos was due to the assassination of Ninoy Aquino and the corruption of the funds that should be for the Filipinos. During the regime of Marcos, Philippines was under a dictatorial government. People suffered from Marshall Law and Coup’deta. The media have no freedom to express their opinions and to publish anything against Marcos in the newspapers. The most hurtful thing that Marcos did during his presidency was the corruption of the funds that was allocated for the welfare of the Filipinos. This research paper will discuss how EDSA Revolution gave way for the Philippines to attain democracy.…
