Quarter 1, Week 5: Fight for your right to...POLITICAL PARTY!
This week in class we will discuss the structure of political parties and investigate several minor parties that exist in the US as well. After completing the Political Parties WebQuest, discuss which political party you think has the best chance of "making it" in the American political system. Also, explain why you chose the party that you did. Remember that in most cases, "making it" means getting candidates elected into some sort of political office. If you think there are other criteria, you may discuss those as well.

I personally believe that none of these third paties would work out due to their strong oppinions, and inability to compromise. However a small fraction of Democrats have similar views to those of the Communist party USA.
If any party was going to become the next big party it would probably be the Libertarian Party. I say this party because most of their ideas are ones that people are starting to accept and become real possibilities. Yes there are a bunch of teenage potheads that would love if marijuana was legalized but this is an issue that is actually becoming something the country has to consider along with gay marriage and other touchy topics.
