Why do third parties have a hard time winning elections in the US?

Just as we discussed with the 2-party system, there are a few reasons why third parties rarely win…

• Election laws– Single member plurality districts (SMPD)

• Person with most votes wins office, no proportional representation– Electoral College

• Person with most votes in a state gets all electoral votes from that state

**These two things make it nearly impossible for a third party candidate to win

• Tough to raise money– Less well-known, less likely to win, issues are outside of the mainstream, so

people do not contribute

• So, what HAS been the impact of third parties on American elections?

Types of Third Parties• Splinter– Break away from a major party– Usually formed around a single personality– Do not last long; often only for a single election– Bull Moose

• Single-issue– Formed around one major issue (abortion, debt, etc.)– Usually last longer than splinter, as long as issue remains

important– Sometimes the issue position is adopted by a major party– Pro-life party

• Ideological– Formed around a set of beliefs on a range of issues– Last the longest; often for decades; “semi-permanent”
