What (if anything) makes political parties indispensable
It is received wisdom in political science that parties are indispensable in a large-scale democracy. However, one might think that this belief reflects path dependency or a lack of imagination of alternative democratic systems. The recent theoretical development of new alternatives to traditional forms of representative government such as lottocracy or liquid democracy therefore offers an ideal context for questioning the assumption more thoroug…
Animalism: A nascent ideology? Exploring the ideas of animal advocacy parties
In recent years political parties advocating animal rights and animal interests have sprang up in several countries and seem to constitute a new party family. At first sight, they appear to be single-issue parties, but a closer look at their party programmes suggests that they are developing a new ideology based on the core concept of compassion and adjacent concepts of equality, intrinsic value and interdependence
The Life and Death of New Political Parties in the Low Countries
Numerous new parties have emerged since voters became less loyal to established political parties. A number of these survived and have been analysed intensely, especially green and radical right parties; many other new parties disappeared and have been neglected by party research. This article analyses the fate of all 30 political parties that entered parliament in the Netherlands or Belgium between 1950 and 2003. Qualitative comparative analysis…
Democratic Extremism in Theory and Practice: All Power to the People
Democracy and extremism are usually considered as opposites. We assume that our system (in the UK, the USA, the Netherlands etc.) is democratic, and extremists try to destroy our system and introduce some kind of dictatorship, if not chaos and anarchy. Yet in many cases, the extremists seem sincere in their attempt to construct a more democratic polity. Hence, they can be called democrats and yet also extremists, in so far as they strive for a re…

The Netherlands
Over the years the Netherlands has traditionally been a warm supporter of European cooperation. However, the beginning of this century saw a groundswell of support for Eurosceptic parties. This growing scepticism was also reflected in the consultative referendum on the draft European Constitution of 1 June 2005 (see Lucardie & Voerman 2006: 1201–1203). The ‘Reform Treaty’, which was signed in Lisbon in December 2007, was ratified by the lower hou…

Pristine Purity: New Political Parties in Canada
Success sells better than failure; hence new parties receive very little attention from political scientists as long as they remain marginal and fail to win seats in Parliament. Yet in the margins of the party system, they may maintain the pristine purity of political principles and ideas better than parties in Parliament, let alone parties in power. This is one reason why one might want to study new parties. However, there are other, perhaps mor…

The Politics of Nature: Explorations in Green Political Theory
Does political theory provide plausible answers to the central problems of political theory - problems of justice and democracy, of individual rights and freedom, and of human nature and gender? The contributors to this book, who come from a range of disciplines - philosophy, political science, sociology and economics, and a range of political backgrounds - explore this question. They look at the relationship between political ideas and liberalis…

Prophets, Purifiers and Prolocutors: Towards a Theory on the Emergence of New Parties
The foundation and electoral success of a new party can be attributed mainly to three factors: (1) its political project, which should address problems considered urgent by substantial sections of the electorate; (2) its resources: members, money, management and mass media exposure; and (3) the political opportunity structure: positions of other relevant parties as well as institutional, socio-economic and cultural conditions. These factors, howe…

Different shades of green: A comparison between members ofGroen LinksandDe Groenen
A comparison between Groen Links (formed in the Netherlands by a fusion of the Pacifist‐Socialist Party, the Political Radical Party, the Evangelical People's Party and the Communist Party of the Netherlands) and its ecological rival De Groenen enables Panebianco's conclusions about the effect of a party's size to be put to the test. The members of the small De Groenen seem hardly more active than members of the somewhat larger Groen Links, nor m…

The extreme right in the Netherlands: The centrists and their radical rivals
The Extreme Right in the Netherlands has always been relatively weak; there was neither a strong ideological right‐wing tradition nor a solid social base. Moreover, the Extreme Right has always been fragmented and divided. Historically, three varieties can be distinguished: theocratic Protestantism (‘Very Old Right’), neo‐fascism or national socialism (‘Old Right’) and ethnocentric nationalism (‘New Right’). The third variety, since 1984 represen…
