Parties and Party Systems
No. 74 MAY 2017
We have heard that without parties and party systems there would be no democracy. However, many Portuguese people believe that «they’re all the same», a popular refrain that illustrates distrust of and alienation from the parties. So what is their role? How do they come about? What influence do they have on voting? And how did they develop in Portugal? What has changed since the 2015 election? Is Portugal immune to populism? All the pieces of the party gear in this essay that is the last piece in the jigsaw of national politics.
