You can look at places like staples or Office Max. They usually hold some nice chairs and they can be ordered in any color.
Yes. . The Democratic and the Republican parties both hold national conventions.
In a parliament the people who form the government - the prime minister and other ministers, secretaries of state, etc. sit in the front benches, facing their opponents. Those who are in the same party, but who do not hold any government office, are known as backbenchers, because they sit in the seats towards, or at, the back. Opposition parties have 'spokespersons' on variou subjects.... they are often called the 'shadow Minister for ..... ' because they are said to 'shadow' the minister in charge of whatever their interest is.... These are usually referred to as 'front-bench spokespersons' or 'The Shadow Cabinet'. People in the opposition party, or parties, who are not spokespersons are also called backbenchers. Again, because the spokespersons sit at the front.
ideological parties
In most western democracies The political parties are called the "LOYAL opposition" meaning they are a part of the system and will not stoop to illegal or violent means to gain political power. A key part of democracy. The party or parties not in power are there to point out what the government is doing wrong, to point out alternatives and most importantly prevent our society from becoming a dictatorship.
