Government No Salt Diet

Lesson two: Conventions, primaries, political parties and selection of its leaders in the U.S..

The Library of Congress The fashion of the primaries in Italy, suddenly sort cloning (bad) U.S. urges me to clarify how the "American system". American democracy and 'democracy of the people, it selects the ruling class from below. It 's a federal democracy with all sovereign states that have delegated the federal government for the common defense and coin money and therefore the economic leadership. The Presidency can 'send troops around the world, but not in a state of the federation, would be a coup that would put the president under impeachment. Each state elects its parliament and its government, its courts, its police chiefs, sheriffs her. The states finally elect the electors who choose the president of all the states, that 'the federal government. Not like in Europe it is believed that the president is elected by plebiscite vote in every state, 'cause if that were true, this de-legitimize the freedom' and autonomy of each state of the federation, and this' would be unconstitutional. In your country at the time of elected Parliament and the Governor, the parties are mainly two: the Republican Party or GOP Elephant (Great Old Party), and the Democrat, the party of the donkey. In some states, there are other parties, the independence movement, ecologists, and the Communist Party, the Labour Working Class, which usually supports Democrats. These parties are "light", 'cause you reorganize only at local or national elections (in this case are federations of local parties in Italy), and dissolve immediately after the elections. In fact for president, the conventions, you vote for delegates attending the convention and the final will elect the party's candidate for the final race; in america, I have already 'explained, more' parties that there are electoral committees. The Republicans are using the majority system where winner takes all, while Democrats use a proportional system with which many allocate delegates in proportion to votes received. In order to vote you must be registered, you do so at public offices, courts, police stations and town halls, presenting a valid identification and register for a party.

Why 'this happens:
A party that should always be present and make the political struggle full-time, 365 days a year, would cost the wrath of God, and they can not be subsidized by the states and the federal government, do not would make, and make it become a element of corruption continues in all areas, donors, media, supported by false assumptions for non-existent jobs in all fields (for example in Italy the first party funding and 'the RAI that only a few years ago had more than 13,000 employees' those of businesses living and production of collaborative programs, which are all persons under effective political parties), because 'should be used to finance covert and illegal and the criminal justice more effective and that it is ready, fill the jails of members politici.La second most important reason is that American democracy is based on a clear separation of three powers and down of any monopoly, both financial and production 'cause that would limit the power of three legitimate powers, executive, legislative, judicial, or rather would have an institutional conflict. The same would be if a party or constituted under state or federal basis in permanently, so 'would ultimately be up and become a fourth estate unlawful and unconstitutional. The selection of political leaders is this: when you re-elect the state legislature (eg, Texas) the parties shall meet in a place where all the registered party to agree that (convention).
This Convention shall assist and listen to the program of competitors to become the leaders of the various competitors, after which you vote, and whoever gets the most 'votes becomes the only competitor for the position that will challenge 'the rival party opponent. Then there is the convention which lasts a few days, then the vote and the result selected. You may experience various conventions that select the various local candidates, until the end of the state convention that designates the last candidate and this is called "primary", meaning 'the first selection or skimming among the various competitors. The same is true on a national scale when you must 'choose the past two participating in the presidential race. I do not think these things you read in Italian by reading corrirspondenti use.
