Now in 1993 voters in New Zealand approved a referendum changing its
electoral system from
a plurality or "first past the post" (FPP) to proportinal representation
(PR). The adoption or PR
represents a radical change from majoritarian to a consensus democracy.
There are no current
empirical studies on how "change in the electoral system" has altered the
relationship between
elites and voters.

Issues and Party Competition Under Alternative Electoral Systems
Jeffrey A. Karp and Susan A. Banducci University of Waikato, New Zealand
Proximity and directional spatial models yield different predictions for mass-elite linkages under alternative
electoral systems. Whereas the proximity or Downsian model predicts that parties are likely to adopt positions
that are closer to their voters, the alternative directional model predicts parties will adopt more extreme positions
in order to generate political support among an electorate that has diffuse policy interests (Macdonald and
Rabinowitz, 1989; Macdonald et al., 1991; Rabinowitz et al., 1991). Theoretical arguments lead us to expect that the
directional model is most applicable in plurality systems, while the proximity model is best for describing party
and voter behaviour in multiparty systems. While others have examined these models from a cross-national
perspective, we employ an alternative research design using candidate and mass opinion data from New Zealand,
where voters have experienced a change in the electoral system.
ORIGINAL DRAFT BY UNITED STATES PUBLISHER
My planning document is preparred for organizers in a multiparty system presently only a working campaign in the United States that is moving toward multinational economic cooperation for anyones use in sharing and formating their own word documents, as "proposed legislation" on same topics declaring "public rights and freedoms." I'm NOT entering politics nor am I running for office. I began net publishing with and will finish if possible "voicing platforms for common people." The need for a multiparty electorate college is not incompatable nor inconsistant with the need for greater awareness of a global rising of "secret government" and some terrorism. It is my concern in and for this word proposal to see a "central document" emerge as (co-initiators of the) "campaign reform" moves ahead for an Equal Campaign Rights Amendment and with some consideration of the highlights of this page and with discussions of the independent movement.

Party Institutionalization In New Democracies
Vicky Randall University of Essex and Lars Svåsand University of Bergen
The literature on democratisation emphasises the contribution of political parties, and in that context the
importance of party institutionalization. But this concept remains relatively unexplored. Our article first considers
the relationship between party institutionalization and party system institutionalization, pointing out that they are
not necessarily convergent. We then review the existing literature on party institutionalization, indicating
weaknesses and contradictions, before offering our own analytic model. In the final section we identify some of
the key considerations arising when this model is applied to the particular circumstances of democratic transition
in the Third World.
WE MUST Nominate "Four In Four" Goal is "Four Parties (with leadership) In 2004 President And V. P. Elections."
Shoot for 4 parties of presidential candidacies and achieve 3 (anyway) contenders in a popular state-for-state vote tally outcome, with the otherwise "not yet", third "to date" party now and/or then achieving a second or first place outcome through a continued using the "Electoral College" which is based on prior popular state vote tallies. The Twenty-First Star Is The Star Located "As Our 4th Star In The 4th Row" Of Our US Flag. This Post and the "Twenty
Zeros" Records will be updated regularly and posted here for your viewing
pleasure.
Please note that when 3 contending candicacies rise before the electoral count, there would require "only but" 181 electoral votes "to clinch" in the near tie and when with 4 contenders in a close race splitting up the votes "136 would win out over the other 3 recieving 135 electoral votes." The Elections 2000 Dilema distances itself and does dimminish when 3 or more contenders battle out in the electoral college. It should and must follow that when more than 2 candidates are nearing a tie the one with the most electoral votes simply wins a decision.

How Transnational Factors Influence the Success OF Ethnic, Religious and Regional Parties in 21 States
Livianna S. Tossutti University of Calgary, Canada
This article explores whether ethnic, religious and regional parties in 21 advanced capitalist democracies are more
likely to achieve political salience in systems which have been more exposed to the effects of globalization and
post-industrialization. Globalist-localist scholars have argued that the new localism - which encompasses the
post-war resurgence of decentralist political movements - is linked to intensified international interdependence
and changes in production and consumption modes. Using quasi-likelihood statistical methods, we find that
parties catering to particularist interests are more likely to participate in ruling coalitions to support minority
governments, or to serve as the official opposition in countries that have been relatively insulated from
transnational forces. While domestic economic conditions and a party's lifespan and programmatic orientation
also influence the probability for success, domestic institutional arrangements such as electoral systems and the
division of powers do not.
Page editor suggest reconsiders of last statement in above paragraph as references (our U.S. system) success using the electoral college which we did usefully succeed with in 2000 elections though evented unprecidently, interjection by the Suprememe Court unsupportive and biased I might add.
Mother Writes "Hi Randy",
I saw Larry King the other night with Phil Donahue. I have never been a
proponent of P.D., but listened because he was promoting Nader. I have
always been impressed by Ralph Nader for several reasons, not the least of
which, he is not influenced by the special interest groups, nor the Powers
That Be that drive the politicians. I'm listening to Nader as I did Ross
Perot, whom I voted for the last 2 elections. Our government is completely
paralyzed by politics and the media. Good for you for fighting for a good
cause, our freedom!
This is a Twenty Zeros special internet report. I'm Randy Frushour. This new Year/Decade/Century/Millennium is an unparalleled era with significant "beginnings and statehood" and in particulars with "U S political party moves" which cradle the activities of our present campaign reform motioning.
A WORD FROM THE PUBLISHER 2-27-2001
The expanded word document will be published in the proceeding months as for " implementing needed change" for an elections "backup support" and also as a safety net while set in place here for legislatings this date, hereafter as the "U S Multiparty Crusade" in concert with the "Independent Appeal". Legislation for campaign, debates and elections reform at present is skimmpy and a likelyhood as elections 2004 begin to surface will too begin the dialog of serious questioning as is today presented and in turn then by "larger and more" interest groups. This editor suggests so belief that such prior can lend and lead to "one solution" which is "U S Multiparty System and Campaigns. Your annotated comments are requested and can upon request remain private as published or be made public and known! On the page certain points "are just thoughts of my own" as I view our matter.
Demographic Peak The largest, best-educated, most prosperous generation that has
ever lived is entering its peak years of productivity, earning, and spending. This is true for
the U.S., but also for much of the rest of the developed world. This boom of producers
and consumers creates a huge market for products, a huge force of creativity, a huge
pile of money, and a huge demand for investments.
Technology Rush The largest deployment of novel products and services,
labor-saving machines, and life-changing techniques is now under way. In addition, we'll
begin to harvest the productivity gains of technology deployed in the past two decades.
But most important, new technology is creating entirely new territories of economic
development (the Internet and kin) that will be profitably settled in the next decade.
Financial Revolution Money itself is undergoing a revolution. The velocity of money
how often it changes hands continues to increase, middle-class values continue to
spread around the world, and financial inventions continue to proliferate. Innovations such
as mutual funds, rapid IPOs, microloans, 24-hour markets, hedge funds, smartcards,
reverse auctions, and mass online trading liberate the flow of capital and spur intense
economic growth. And the transformation of money and markets has only just begun.
Global Openness The spread of democracy, open markets, freedom of speech, and
consumer choice around the globe accelerates economic growth. Global openness not
only enlarges the potential market for any invention to 5 billion customers, it also creates
intense competition among governments to construct environments hospitable to
progress. Prosperity can no longer be segregated to one part of the globe, and when
prosperity does break out, it is amplified quickly by ever-spreading freedoms. Historical Background
On July 2, 1776, in Philadelphia, the Continental Congress adopted the resolution, introduced by Richard Henry Lee and John Adams, which actually declared
independence from Great Britain. [It declared, in part, ``that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states, that they are absolved from
all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved.'' The Declaration,
which explained why the Colonies (now States) declared their independence, was adopted by the Continental Congress July 4, 1776. The leading draftsman was Thomas
Jefferson, assisted by John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Robert R. Livingston, and Roger Sherman.] The text follows below.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume
among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments
are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of
Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new
Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely
to effect their Safety and Happiness.
