In this episode, I discuss the impact of minor party presidential candidates in elections within the relatively unique American electoral system, and take a look at the minor party candidates playing spoiler in this particular election year. Views my own.

Steven Tripp, Richard Storch & Sam Buono are joined by the mastermind behind MajorsLast.com, the author of Trigger Warming and former Australian Conservatives and Libertarian candidate, Jeff Grimshaw. This is certainly a fiery debate, with many opposing viewpoints. All four jump into the deep end and discuss a range of issues surrounding the three centre-right minor parties, the Libertarians, One Nation and the United Australian Party. They discuss whether the Minor Parties should merge, or if it is even possible. They analyse if a joint ticket or collaboration is the best option. They discuss the challenges the Minor Parties face and whether merging would address those challenges. They even examine if the party system itself is broken and if an alliance of Independents is the answer. Finally, Steven argues that supporting Minor Parties may be a mistake; instead people's efforts should be directed towards reforming the Liberal Party. Similarly, Jeff argues that the National Party should be taking the lead and have more power within the Coalition than they realise.

TWO CORRECTIONs: at 4 min 30 sec I say the remaining 4, it should have been remaining 6 and 15 min 23 sec I say the NSI was formed as a break off of the Slovenian national party. I actually was supposed to say the Slovenian People's Party but miswrote the wrong party in the script.

Key PointsAnimal parties are minor (niche) political parties with a single-issue focus on animals.Animal parties can win seats in elections that use proportional representation. The most important strategic decision is to choose to contest elections where seats can be won with just a couple of percent of the vote. Animal parties have won seats in five countries (Australia, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Portugal).When an animal party wins even one seat or a couple of seats, the impact for animals is typically positive and moderate. Occasionally, the impact can be enormous.We recommend a handful of countries where we think small grants are likely to help animal parties win at least one seat. Providing initial funding for animal parties in these countries appears to be low-hanging fruit, and this small level of funding is likely to have a disproportionately high level of impact.Executive SummaryThis approach involves establishing political parties with an explicit [...] ---Outline:(00:09) Key Points(01:07) Executive Summary(08:06) Table of Contents(10:18) 1.

FIRST WITH YESTERDAY'S NEWS (highlights from Monday on Newstalk ZB) Not So Minor Anymore/So What Will Make You Vote?/Speed Policy LimitedSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to the first Leaders' Debate for our Minor Parties, but these are no minnows - they will shape the next Government of New Zealand, in just 22 days.  Rebecca Wright moderates a debate between ACT's David Seymour, NZ First's Winston Peters, The Green's Marama Davidson, and Te Pāti Māori's Debbie Ngarewa-Packer. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So on Tuesday evening I was quite excited about the first Leaders Debate.   It was a funny old evening. I thought Jessica Mutch McKay did a good job moving things along but the two Chris's energy wanned, and so did mine. It wasn't a dynamic debate.    There wasn't actually a lot of debate.    So, after a solid, but slightly disappointing Leaders Debate, I then turned my attention to the Newshub Nation Powerbrokers' Debate featuring Minor party leaders, which took place last night on Three. Surely this was going to be more entertaining? It did after all feature David Seymour, who put in a sharp and humorous performance at the ASB Great Debate last week in Queenstown. And it was set in a pub.    Joining him was New Zealand First leader Winston Peters, Te Pāti Māori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, and Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson.    Rebecca Wright was the moderator and she did a commendable job keeping this lot under control, although it was a challenge and there was plenty of spirited bickering.  They covered off race issues, tax reform, law and order, and coalition plans. If you are a politics' nerd, you probably didn't learn anything new from the candidates, with each repeating their party's already known policies.    For others though, this debate likely provided more exposure to the minor parties and some clarity on their values and a few of their policies.    Performance wise Marama and Debbie managed to get their messages across crisply and put on a good double act. Marama in particular was ‘on' and didn't take any nonsense.    David Seymour and Winston Peters in contrast tended to ramble and didn't always deliver a clear message.    But there was plenty of fun as well. Especially when Rebecca Wright asked each party for their bottom lines in possible coalition negotiations. While Greens and Te Pati Maori spoke simply —wealth tax and poverty— Winston Peters and David Seymour put on a show over whether they could work together that gave you a glimpse of what Luxon may have to deal with...    Firemen and adults with trousers on is what to expect folks! Rebecca Wright probably summed that up well when she said, I'm beginning to pity Christopher Luxon.    So what do you think? Can they work together? Of course they will if they have to right - but it might be like herding cats.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Special Beardie Host tonight Shane Te Pou How much power will the minority parties wield post election 2023? Luxon is continuously warning voters about how the Greens and TPM will drag Labour to the left, but no journalist anywhere seems to challenge him on if ACT and NZF will drag National to the right. Also, 2 months ago Simon Wilson floated the idea that ACT could "be well placed to become the dominant party on the right in 2026" depending on their result this election. Can we say the same about the Greens? Could they be the dominant party on the left in 2026 as they are polling very closely to ACT and their 'left' partner in Labour is polling worse than National. National MP Tim van de Molen has been stripped of his portfolios as a select committee has just found his actions at a Transport and Infrastructure Committee were "aggressive in the sense of being hostile, unprofessional and with an element that was objectively threatening, but not in the sense of physical violence". Luxon is using a very different tone about this than he offered Kiri Allan and Christopher one month ago today. Name suppression. Should the public know everything there is to know about political and ancillary figures leading up to an election or should information that may impact an election be suppressed? +++++++++++++++ Come support the work we're doing by becoming a Patron of ⁠#BHN⁠ ⁠https://www.patreon.com/BigHairyNews⁠ Like us on Facebook www.facebook.com/BigHairyNews Follow us on Twitter. @patbrittenden @Chewie_NZ

Parliament's major parties are both leaning heavily towards the political centre, in order to attract the coveted middle New Zealand vote. But in doing so, they're leaving an opportunity for the minor parties to pick up voters on the fringes. The thing is that as society becomes more polarised, those fringes are becoming larger and larger. This leaves some uncomfortable choices for both National and Labour as they head into the next election. So how do you appeal to the middle while not alienating the party faithful? And who has the most to lose in getting this balance wrong?

On this episode: We speak to John Ruddick, the lead Upper House candidate for the Liberal Democrats at the upcoming NSW State election.

John was an early critic of the Pandemic response and is also critical of big spending Liberal Governments of recent times. We speak to John about the state of Liberal Party pre-selection, the Victorian election result, the recent data drops on Twitter regarding Hunter Biden and the future of the Minor Parties, among other topics.

Winston Peters has made it clear he is determined to return New Zealand First to Parliament in 2023.  Two years after departing as their coalition partner, the 77-year-old has upped his criticism of Labour and is showing no signs of supporting Jacinda Ardern again.  He joins a number of parties outside Parliament trying to ride a wave of anti-government sentiment to victory in 2023.  But with so many parties fighting for the same vote, how many will actually succeed? And is there room for more moderate parties to break through as well?   Today, I'm joined by lobbyist Mark Unsworth for a discussion about who will sing the tune the disgruntled voters will follow.     Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

While marginal electorates are flooded with campaign promises and leadership visits, voters in some of the nation's "safe seats" can start to feel left out.The southern Queensland seats of Maranoa and Groom are the Coalition's safest nationwide, but minor parties and independents are hoping that voter frustration and a lack of attention from major parties will erode at least part of the 20+ point LNP margin.ABC Southern Queensland Mornings host Belinda Sanders and ABC Western Queensland reporter Daniel Prosser join James Glenday and Melissa Clarke to talk about elections in an ultra-safe seat.

Labor lost the so-called unlosable election in 2019 largely due to a swing against the ALP in Queensland. They aren't taking votes in the sunshine state for granted this time around, and neither are the Greens - who are hoping to snatch three inner-Brisbane seats.

A week after the state election counting continues and so does analysis of the result. Are minor parties becoming irrelevant? Has the influence of social media peaked or are some candidates to blame for going overboard before and during the campaign? In this episode an independent view from political expert Professor Geoff Cockfield from the University of Southern Queensland. Published: 6 November 2020.

On this week's edition of New York NOW: We'll get a preview of what to watch on Election Day from Karen DeWitt from New York State Public Radio and Joe Spector from the USA Today Network. Then, the future of minor parties in New York hangs in the balance in this year's elections. Parties will now have to get more than double the votes they had to before to automatically qualify for the ballot in the next election cycle. Conservative Party Chair Gerard Kassar says he's not worried about his party meeting the new threshold, partly because of new energy for the party from President Donald Trump. But The Working Families Party could have a tougher time meeting the new requirement. Sochie Nnaemeka from the state Working Families Party joins us to discuss the party's future and what they're doing to turn out the vote.   Learn More at nynow.org

A week after the election the result of our minor parties have been clinically analysed, with a couple tasting success but that wasn't the case for all minor parties. The Green Party and ACT had a strong result, but we saw NZ First with just 2.7% of the votes, while other minor parties such as New Conservatives and The Opportunities Party registered only 1.5% of the votes. New Zealand First's being told it needs to reinvent itself.The party's bowed out of Parliament, after not reaching the five percent threshold.Former United Future leader, Peter Dunne told Francesca Rudkin New Zealand First's constituency is literally dying off, so it has to attract new support.And he says Winston Peters' message has had its day.Dunne says the party's going to have to reform itself with new people and new ideas that are more in tune with the 2020s, rather than the 1970s.On the survival for minor parties, Dunne says it is vital for the party to have a sitting member in parliament for it to get into government. He says none of the minor parties have achieved this without having a member in parliament. Although Dunne admits the tough survival of minor parties, he says they do hold importance in the system. Minor parties could voice for the people who cannot choose between Labour or National.  Dunne says now probably is not the right time for minor parties to have a major impact... but their time will come.He says for a minor party to really succeed it is important to have an issue and its about making an impact at a particular time. "The Greens have got a wonderful issue, its the environment all round... its really made for them and anything that's got a environmental flavour to it they can claim as their own."He also complimented the ACT party for making decisions based on studied facts and has established themselves as a party who acts on the bases of evidence.   LISTEN TO AUDIO ABOVE AS PETER DUNNE JOINS FRANCESCA RUDKIN.

The minor parties have been battling it out to woo the undecided voters ahead of Election Day. New Zealand First's Winston Peters, the Green's James Shaw, David Seymour from Act along with the Maori Party's John Tamihere, and Jami-Lee Ross from Advance New Zealand fronted up for last night's TVNZ Multi-Party Debate. With current polling showing most of them struggling to claw their way into parliament, there was little to lose and everything to gain. Here's political reporter Charlie Dreaver.

Behind the Lines is having a yarn with as many of the minor parties and independents as we can fit in before the next election. This week we have a yarn with Peter Tait, from the Canberra Alliance for Participatory Democracy to discuss any themes that have arisen during the series. The theme for these conversations is "Motivations and Visions". We will spend awhile with each guest to draw out why they are putting themselves forward, and what it is that they would see done if elected.

Political parties outside of parliament feel hard-done-by for being excluded from TVNZ's election debates. TVNZ yesterday announced it had changed the criteria for its leaders debate, paving the way for the Maori Party to be involved. Now a group of other smaller parties have got together saying the debate criteria are still unfair, and stop voters from hearing from a wide range of candidates. Those parties are the: Social Credit; Opportunities; New Conservatives; Outdoors; and Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Parties. Geoff Simmons from TOP and Chris Leitch from Social Credit speak to Corin Dann.

What's the point in voting for a party that is never going to take a seat in Parliament? Well, there are plenty of reasons, say our guests today. 

National may have closed the door on New Zealand First, but is leaving it ajar for the Maori Party.National MP Mark Mitchell earlier this week said that the Act Party is a strong partner to National.He's also predicting a resurgence in the Maori Party and says National could team up with them again.What does the future hold for the two minor parties? And will New Zealand First need to change its tactic to maintain its presence?Political commentator Matthew Hooton has predicted that Labour already has the election in the bag - it is simply a matter of whether it will be a coalition with the Greens or with NZ First as well.He joined The Weekend Collective to discuss where the parties differ, how the gun buyback could change things, and why this election could be disastrous for National. LISTEN ABOVE

Eva Cox delivers one last consideration for us prior to this election; do not sell away your vote. She suggests that we stop allowing ourselves to be bought in this election by bribes from politicians, and stresses that we consider social policy, and what values we want reflected in our new government, and to make sure our votes truly count with preferences and minor parties.

In this episode special guest Dave (politics enthusiast and my former housemate!) and I have a look at the Minor political parties in Australian Politics. We recap how voting for the senate works, how this impacts the minor parties and where they are most effective. We warn about the dangers of misleading party names, and look in a bit more detail at 3 of the more prominent minor parties: The Greens, One Nation and the United Australia Party. Enjoy!

Should we place a premium on the political virtue of compromise instead of the zero-sum game of the two-party contest?

Politics in the Pub hosts a public discussion on the health of Australian democracy. Informal voting in Australian politics is on the rise, with this year's federal election returning the highest rates of invalid ballot papers in nearly 30 years. Simultaneously, our last election showed the highest support for minor parties and independents, with nearly a quarter of Australians allocating their first preference to parties other than Labor and the Coalition. Voters of all ages are expressing a growing disillusionment with Australian politics and a deep scepticism of politicians at all levels of government. What's going on? Find out what the insiders and experts think by listening to the year's final Politics in the Pub. Entitled “The State of Our Democracy: Donkey Votes, Minor Parties and Three Word Slogans”, panellists included ALP State Secretary Evan Moorhead, GetUp's QLD Coordinator Ellen Roberts, Greens Councillor Jonathan Sri and the H.R. Nicoll's Society's John Slater. This Q&A style discussion was hosted by acclaimed ABC political reporter Chris O'Brien.
