What are the steps to create a new political party?

First, you need some fresh ideas as to how the government should function. Second, you need a ton of cash. Third, you need to get the word out to the voting public (see second point). Fourth pray that it will only take a decade or so before you finally get someone elected to office.

Do this; type in your search window ' define ideology '. Your app is incorrect. All parties purport to espouse an ideology else they wouldn't attract new members.

1. Establish a PR team that can work on the collateral to start pushing stories to friendly publications.  You need a core of experienced editors who can take the rough edges off the pieces to create sound policy platforms. \n\n2. Establish a donation network, which usually comes through several avenues.  \n\nOne strategy is try and hit the homerun by getting in bed with the Big Boys.  That is, ping the Democratic party to see if there can be information sharing to help get the ball rolling (e.g. call, mailing lists).  These guys should be your natural allies. You should be working heavy with the Valley's democratic Representatives and/or the California Democratic Party. Before you go busting down their doors demanding cash, make sure you have all your ducks lined up as to who you are, what your goals are, how it benefits the Democratic party, what the demographics/polling profiles look like for your organization. \n\nYou should also be in touch with associated parties like La Raza, similar groups that do the same thing in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and/or Nevada. \n\nIf you can't do that, then you're going to have to go grassroots.  Buy a call/mail list to start raising funds.  \n\nThird, build your grassroots into the local universities and colleges where Latinos are especially strong in the UC, Cal State, local colleges and junior colleges.  These are not going to be fund raising centers, so much as recruitment and sounding-board pools.\n\nGood luck.

Become a member of a political party. call the leader of the party in the area to inform them of your desire to run. Contact your county board of elections to fins the procedures for placing your name on the ballot. May be wise to retain legal council to guide you through the steps to meet all deadlines and such. When you are in the run, Campaign like crazy. Advertising, canvassing, debates and fundraisers are important. Make shure you have well defined answers to position questions in advance (I can Help with that). Actually taking a firm position on issues is not as important, because you are there to represent people, who change their mind every time the evening news tells them to. \nAnd, oh yeah, don't do anything illegal or morally reprehensible. Being qualified to be mayor is a question only the electorate can answer.

First, you need to posses a very charismatic personality and have the ability to get people follow your every word.  You also need a have a slightly distorted vision on what life in your country should be.  Once those are in place you then need to systematically get people to believe in your vision and have them vowel to lay down their lives for you and your cause.  Once this is in place you then create a plan of the most vulnerable areas and begin to gain a strong hold in these areas. Once that is accomplished you then eliminate your opposition and start laying down rules and punishments for the unconverted masses.  Once all this is completed and you are in power, you then need to rule with an iron fist and make examples of those who reject your thinking.  Just make sure you are surrounded by people who you most trust.  \nGood luck in your future endeavors.

Surely you have a few ideas considering you were elected in the first place. Someone must think your up for the job. Just be you and the ideas will come flowing out

You stand no chance of being an MP unless you stand for something. Even the major parties have manifestos (yes, I know). If you believe in some cause - as for instance Dr. Taylor of Kidderminster believed in saving his hospital - you should campaign for that. You could write to the local paper, set up a campaign group, collect a petition etc. etc. It will take over your life! You may or may not find that standing for parliament, or more likely the local council first, is a good way of pursuing this cause. And by that time you ought to have a group that will set up democratic selection procedures.\n\nOne of the increases in bureaucracy under the present government has been the introduction of rules for political parties. I disapprove because it is for the people to form parties, not bureaucracy to constrain them. Be that as it may, if you form a political party you will have to register it (unless it is to be an illegal  subversive organisation) with the Electoral Commission, and submit annual accounts etc. \nLook up:-\nwww.electoralcommission.gov.uk\nI dare say if you were serious somebody at the Commission would give you informal advice or at least send you some bumpf.\n\nUnfortunately, now that it's a bureaucratic procedure setting up a party will cost you money. Unless your cause has a lawyer volunteer, you should probably pay somebody to get your constitution watertight and quite possibly to prepare the registration. And you would need, again unless you could get a professional volunteer, an accountant. That's before the expense of elections and raising a deposit.\n\nBeing an MP for a minority party is not fun. It is very hard work. Unless you are from London  you will  have to live away from home. And your consituents will expect you to get things done whilst the major parties will be out to crush you. Basically, for most people there are beter ways of seeking political influence at the moment. If you really want to be an MP, you are probably best to seek to join whichever large party is nearest your own beliefs and seek to change it a little bit in the direction you want to go.\n\nDon't think MPs have more power and prestige than they actually do!

Your question is quite vague, not really sure how to answer it.  If you are curious about the role of parties in government and why they exist I suggest that you consider the works of James Madison.  The Federalist papers would be the best place to start, with #10 speaking directly to the issue of factions.  Hope that this helped.

You work your way up though a political party starting at the local level.  It'll take years of thankless unpaid volunteer work.  Be a good student and get an advanced degree (law is a good specialty).  Work on public speaking and communication skills.  It also helps to develop an interest that can be your special area of expertise when serving the public.\n\nAfter you've worked on a few campaigns and are known, trusted and accepted by local party insiders, you may snag a lowly staffer position.\n\nWhew...that's the first ten years and you haven't even run for town council yet!\n\nAnyway, that's the way it usually works to get to the top in any field.  Lot's of grass roots experience, passion and determination coupled with a good education, some genuine skill for the task at hand and a few lucky breaks thrown in!\n\nOh yeah...and don't forget to keep your nose clean at all times...NO skeletons in the closet!

There are a variety of different answers to this one. \n\nI am personally involved with the Labour Party and I help out with administration and distribution come election time. I'm a member of my constituencty Labour Party and attend meetings. If I wanted too, my next step would be to forward my name as a candidate for the Borough Council or the County Council. If elected I would be expected to serve a term or two before trying to get nominated to fight a Parliamentary seat or European Parliamentary seat (for the socialist grouping). I first got involved with the Party as an elected trade unionist and was active in my workplace. You do not necessarily have to have any money whatsoever, just convictions. \n\nDifferent parties will have different methods and different rules, but remember that the british Political parties are much stronger in their organisations than the looser organisations of the American Parties where views of candidates can vary wildly from those of their party. In Britain, if you are a member of a Party, you are expected to toe 'The Party Line' and not stray from the manifesto. However - all the political parties have machinations and structures that enable any ordinairy member to propose changing the manifesto and it will be put to the vote.\n\nOutwith the political parties, ANY member of the public can stand for election as an independant candidate as long as he or she can raise the deposit. The idea of the deposit was first introduced in the Representation of the People Act 1918. It is a sum of money paid by candidates in an election. The deposit is forfeited in the event of a candidate not polling a certain percentage of the total votes. Deposits are supposed to deter candidates who are not serious from standing for Parliamentary election. The deposit is currently £500 and is forfeited if a candidate polls less than 5% of the vote.\n\nSo - there are many differing routes depending on your background and views, nationality and culture. If you are seriously thinking about entering politics, then the very best of luck whatever political persuasion you may be! (By that statement I'm presuming you aren't a fascist or a communist - If you are then I withdraw it).

We already have a one-party system.  It's called the "Property Party".

Brilliant!!!! The conservatives, traditionalists, and republicans would be wise to start coalescing, and forming a strategy now. Many of your Ideas are doable, and would be a great platform to run on. Count me in. Many of these things could have been acted upon during the past six years, but partisan thinking reared it's ugly head and those years were wasted. The republicans will return, and take the country in a proper direction, not just a (new direction).

Depends on where you live - but generally\n\n1) contact a local chapter of the relevant political party\n2) inquire as to the nomination process (caucus v. primary)\n3) register with appropriate state/municipal agency by filing deadline\n4) most states require either the endorsement of established politcal party or a petition drive of sufficent volume to establish 'credibility' of campaign

Yura,\n\nThe explination is simple.\n\nThe found fathers set up a system whereby it was easier for only two political parties to exist.  In most European countries, congress is chosen by percentage of votes that your part gets in the entire country, so when you vote for the person, you are actually voting for the Party.  Take this note for example:\n\nLabor - 37%\nConservative - 25%\nCommunist 15%\n\nThe seats would be apportioned in the House by total percentage of the vote.  However, the system here does not follow those same guidlines.  We have a direct democracy.  Back in the 1990's Ross Perot advocated an indirect democracy.\n\nYou are recognized in this country as a major political party only when you get a certain percentage of votes in major Presidential elections.  The independent Party came the closest with Perot in 1992 and 1996 but failed to run a candidate after that.\n\nOver the years there have been elections with many major candidates.  Weird party names - the Bull Moose Party for example.  It is only within the last 30 years that the now traditional two party system has really took hold.\n\nIn order to become a nationall recognized party, start in your own districts, name your party whatever you want, get people to join, start winning offices, then someday, your Party will be at the top of a ticket.
