Political Parties and their role in government regarding specifically the E.U. in comparison with the U.S.

The greatest part of political parties is their role in government.  Every political party has many strengths and weaknesses that make them strong or weak; recognized or ignored.  The United States shows that political parties all have their place in government.  Whether in the majority party where there is a shared power between the Republicans and the Democrats where power is cycled through both or part of the minority parties including the Green Party or the Libertarian Party every seems to have their own role.  

The same can be said about European politics.  Although there's some stigma with European politics in regards to the European Union as there is with every new rising power, but there are also great attributes that make the E.U. strong.  For example, although the E.U. is undergoing some kinks in the machine there are those who are trying to make an effort to help new States easily transition into the Union.  Interest groups and political parties across borders are trying to help each other economically, environmentally, and socially.  With a wide variety of Interest groups and political party, the E.U. is able to cover a lot of ground.  The great part is there are a lot of issues to be discussed and a lot of variety of techniques from cross cultural borders to help deal with these issues.  The downside is that with so many issues being bombarded at the same time, there might be an overload of information and most of the issues might not get accomplished or even discussed.  For more information about the different interest groups in the European Union visit the link below.

Comparatively speaking there are several different groups in the U.S. who are also making an effort to help groups and States transition successfully into the Union.  There was a great piece out together in 2001 put together by the American Institute that discusses this precise transition.  By explaining the development of the E.U., as well as the policies, and the technological aspects behind the E.U.  One the most important parts for new political experiments to be a success, is by receiving criticism and comments from other democracies to help.  Also, they devolve into how political parties within these democracies can help by publishing work that can be used as a guide, as well as creating relationships based on diplomacy.  For more information, visit the link below. 

 

Finally, when discussing the E.U. on top of relying on diplomacy of other interest groups, political parties internationally; understanding the mechanics behind the roles of interest groups, political parties; as well as understanding that the interest groups, political parties are trying to make a real difference this detaches some of the original stigma behind the E.U.  From 2000-2003 interest groups among the E.U. set several goals involving security, economic resolutions, and rural development.  It's in these way that political parties and interest groups are able to make their mark in policy.  People want change; Interest groups push for change and through their implementations legislature can be passed and that is how stigma turns from passive to positive in development.
