oh wow!  There are 2 major parties in the United States. Democrats and Republicans. Some democrats, well usually most, no offence, can be liberals. Sometimes, they are liberals. Republicans are representated by an elephant. Go to the national republican or national democrat websites to learn about their history and facts. It is pretty interesting.

Some politicians pick their party based on what party is most popular at that time in order to get elected.\n\nLater, after they have established their power base, some switch to what they really believe. Some switch later on in the event their party is no longer the popular party because they want to stay in power.

Volunteer for a political party while you search out the best and most affordable option. Learning on the "job" is the best way to improve your education while building a resume and developing useful contacts for future opportunities.\n\nIf you have true passion and drive for politics when volunteering you may find yourself being offered a paying position before you attend a single class. And that can influence your pool of options. Also there are many leadership training programs related to specific partisian agendas. Embedding yourself within a party will gain you insight into which ones offer the type of intense focus for the least amount of cash. Read everything. Reading is still the best cheap/free education in the world. Good luck!

A platform is essentially a 'mission statement' for a candidate or for a party. Sometimes the 'platform' is made up of "planks" ... or smaller goals that are a part of the whole.\nA Republican Platform might be: The goal of the party is to:\n A. Increase National Security with tighter borders and military efforts in unstable world regions. \nB. Hold taxes low to encourage business and job growth and strong tax revenue that will decrease the deficit. \nC. Encourage legislation to strengthen bio-ethics in the realm of human reproduction. \nD. Encourage legislation to stimulate greater stockholder voice in corporate governance E. Encourage legislation to improve public schools through greater real-world competition for students among the schools -- provide more choice to families of students.\n\nAs you can imagine; a Democrat platform would  read very differently. And, different candidates within a party might add or reject various "planks" of the platform.

Currently, the best thing about politics is we are seeing a lot of true colors across the board. Politicians that are solid are starting to rise above.\n\nThe biggest problem with politics is the average voter is emotionally attached to their party.

All citizens but especially politicians get to say they want to run for president.\n\nTheir parties get to decide who they want to support.\n\nOnce the parties decide which one candidate (or more) they want to support, they then go through the process of nominating them \n\n(Remember, there are more than one party-- and citizens get to run too, but they must get petitions saying so many thousands support them)\n\nThen there is a whole process of funding the run for presidency, the ads, travel and speeches and such.\n\nThen there is a primary to narrow each party down to one candidate.\n\nThen the people vote.\n\nThat's Democracy in a nutshell

well the reason why there are mulitiple party systems is because people dont always see eye to eye on how to solve a problem. Usually people can agree that something might be a problem, but since everyone has different plans its hard to ever get mulitparty, single party, or any system to ever be able to solve as many problems as they potentially could.
