With Unions in Decline, Trump's Path to the Presidency Is Unlikely to Be
With unions in decline, Trump’s path to the presidency is unlikely to be through the Rust Belt. blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/2016/08/10/with-unions-in-decline-trumps-path-to-the-presidency-is-unlikely-to-be-through-the-rust-belt/ In this election, Donald Trump has been drawing a great deal of his support from disaffected white working-class voters. Michael McQuarrie writes that Trump’s strategy of courting this group is not surprising; white workers have been slipping away from the Democratic Party for nearly 50 years. Much of this is down to the decline of unions, which in the past had been able to keep white voters anchored to the left. This decline – along with the changing demographics of the Rust Belt- also hurts Trump’s electoral chances; without unions to mobilize them, working class whites are less likely to vote. Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Paul Manafort, has argued that Trump’s path to the Presidency was open because of his ability to win traditionally democratic Rust Belt states. Trump’s super PACs, however, are only targeting the Rust Belt states of Pennsylvania and Ohio, along with Florida. This is an extremely narrow map, but one that nonetheless has become something like the common sense of this election cycle. Trump, the argument goes, appeals to uneducated white workers more than any other group. To win, he needs to capture swing states with lots of disaffected white working-class voters. The Democrats are not particularly interested in fighting for these votes. Hillary Clinton’s acceptance speech at the Democratic convention, which seemed to have a word for each part of the Democratic coalition, could only appeal to white workers by mustering a comment on Trump’s hypocrisy (Trump ties are made in China, not Colorado!), a ploy that worked with patrician Mitt Romney in 2012, but is unlikely to work with the new tribune of the white workers. -

Jen Metzger Receives Working Families Party Endorsement in State Senate Race
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 16, 2018 CONTACT: Kelleigh McKenzie, 845-518-7352 [email protected] Jen Metzger Receives Working Families Party Endorsement in State Senate Race ROSENDALE, NY — The Working Families Party officially endorsed Rosendale Town Councilwoman Jen Metzger today in her campaign to be the next state senator for New York’s 42nd District. “I am honored to receive this endorsement,” said Metzger. “The Working Families Party stands for an economy that works for everyone, and a democracy in which every voice matters. I am proud to stand with them.” Phillip Leber, Hudson Region Political Director of the Working Families Party, said, “Jen Metzger proves that you don’t need to make a false choice between principled, progressive values, and winning elections. Social movements can only do their jobs if we elect authentic progressives, and Jen Metzger is the real deal.” The endorsement is the outcome of a rigorous application and interview process by the Hudson Regional Council of the Working Families Party, which consists of members of the Hudson Valley Area Labor Federation AFL-CIO, the New York Public Employees Federation, the New York State Nurses Association, New York State United Teachers, Communication Workers of America, Community Voices Heard Power, Hudson Valley Progressives, Citizen Action of New York, and state committee members of the Working Families Party itself. “For two decades now, our state senator has made a career out of taking money from corporate donors and polluters, while giving us handouts,” said Metzger. “I look forward to Friends of Jen Metzger, PO Box 224, Rosendale NY 12472 ⭑ [email protected] partnering with the Working Families Party to support—not block—legislation that meaningfully improves the lives of the people in our district.” Jen Metzger’s campaign website is jenmetzger.com, and voters can also find her on social media at Facebook.com/jenmetzgerNY and Twitter.com/jenmetzgerNY. -
Challenger Party List
Appendix List of Challenger Parties Operationalization of Challenger Parties A party is considered a challenger party if in any given year it has not been a member of a central government after 1930. A party is considered a dominant party if in any given year it has been part of a central government after 1930. Only parties with ministers in cabinet are considered to be members of a central government. A party ceases to be a challenger party once it enters central government (in the election immediately preceding entry into office, it is classified as a challenger party). Participation in a national war/crisis cabinets and national unity governments (e.g., Communists in France’s provisional government) does not in itself qualify a party as a dominant party. A dominant party will continue to be considered a dominant party after merging with a challenger party, but a party will be considered a challenger party if it splits from a dominant party. Using this definition, the following parties were challenger parties in Western Europe in the period under investigation (1950–2017). The parties that became dominant parties during the period are indicated with an asterisk.

The Pirate Party and New Politics in OECD Countries Matt Hastings Political Science Jennifer Fitzgerald
Politics as Unusual: The Pirate Party and New Politics in OECD Countries Matt Hastings Political Science Jennifer Fitzgerald: Thesis Advisor Committee Members: Andy Baker: Political Science Jennifer Fitzgerald: Political Science David Spires: History University of Colorado, Boulder April 4, 2011 Politics as Unusual: Matt Hastings 1 Abstract: Standard bearer left and right parties, the customary powers for over a century, are under siege from new political movements that range from green and animal rights parties to a resurgent radical right. One piece of this new politics movement is a party that began in Sweden. Focusing on intellectual property rights and technology, specifically the internet, the Pirate Party of Sweden achieved representation in the European Parliament in June of 2009. This success has lead to the emergence of other Pirate Parties across Europe and even Canada. This paper seeks to answer what domestic factors would result in individuals forming and voting for Pirate Parties, a small piece of this new politics movement. Analysis is done using logistic regressions of variables corresponding to four schools of thought. After the data is analyzed, the evidence points to the Pirate Party being the result of electoral structural (the effective number of parties) and the culmination of values change in the 34 OECD countries. Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates. Mark Twain, from Life on the Mississippi Politics as Unusual: Matt Hastings 2 I. Introduction: Puzzling Politics There are tremors in the electoral systems of many modern democracies. Outside of Europe, the most recent midterm elections in the United States saw the emergence of the fiscally minded Tea Party carve itself out of the Republican Party, creating a new movement for conservatives to consider in Washington (Barstow 2010).
