How does the Queen vote in a British Election what happens when the government changes?
I'm not sure what exactly it is that you're asking, but I'll try to answer the part that does make sense.
The Queen is entitled to vote in elections (by virtue of being a British citizen) however, for constitutional reasons (she's the Head of State) she does not vote as this would confer political preference or allegiance, amongst other reasons. For the same reasons, senior members of the Royal Family also do not vote, because of their proximity to The Queen and their immediacy to the line of succession.

Who was nominated by the Republicans in 1858 to run for the senate seat from Illinois?
Abraham Lincoln won the 1858 Republican Party nomination for senator for Illinois.
Why is the representative democracy most effective?
Simple answer? Because a direct democracy carries many problems that defeat national goals. A direct democracy, while difficult to manage, is subject to whims and fads and managed campaigns that would bend policy toward special interests or simple bad decisions. A non-democratic state fails completely to enact the wishes of its citizenry, while a totally direct democratic state fails to consider policy nuisances.
What happened when the Democratic Party attempted to choose a candidate for the presidency in 1860?
It's not that the Democrats were unable to nominate their own candidate - it's that they chose not to. Ulysses S. Grant had been president for four years already and the Republican party was split over the question of a second term. His first four years were marked by corruption, incompetency, and nepotism. A group of Republicans split off from the main party and formed their own branch, called the Liberal Republicans. They formed a platform which spoke of ending Reconstruction and was thus appealing to the weakened Democratic party. Party leaders approached the Democrats and struck a deal with August Belmont, chairman, and John R. Doolittle, president, to unite the two parties beneath the Democratic ticket. This action is often construed by historians as a desperate move by all involved to defeat the highly popular hero of the Civil War - the Democrats simply didn't believe they could defeat him on their own, so they didn't try. They hoped that by uniting with the Liberal Republicans they could garner enough support to remove Grant from office. It may have worked, if only their choice of candidate had been more opportune. Horace Greeley, a well known and popular newspaper editor, had spent his entire career harpooning the Democratic party in his paper, calling then liars, murderers, thieves, alcoholics, and just about anything else insulting he could come up with. Many Democrats simply couldn't stomach voting for a man who had dedicated his life to insulting them, and either turned to Grant or abstained from voting all together.
Why do French politicians need to form coalitions to rule?
There is no party able to secure a clear majority in France, so the best-placed one has to pick allies and form a coalition to rule. . The current (2012-2014 and maybe more) government is led by the Socialist party, which rules with the help of a minor centre-left party and Ecologists. The Communist party, the far left, all of the right wing parties are out of the current coalition and majority.

Basic construction of zener diode?

Does the Democratic Party lean more towards communism?
Not at all. Democrats do believe in more government intervention, however this is to assist a nation's citizens in time of need. Whereas the Republican Party believes in more individual freedom, however it let's the rich live wealthy while the poor have no help and usually suffer. The advantage of this is that people are more motivated to work hard, but this result also causes much controversy. The U.S. will never turn communist. It is more dominantly democratic, which is why the U.S. has survived every recession (which have all triggered from a republican office).
The terms listed above are explained on the strong sided view of Liberal vs Conservative, and many people are in the middle believing in some, but not complete government intervention in lives (independents).

Can an independent vote in both the Democratic and Republican primaries?
So, I was interested in doing this myself. I have an answer but I can only say for sure that it's the case in New Jersey. I emailed my county clerk:
"I am already a registered voter, but not affiliated with any party. My standpoints are in line with different parties on different issues; I would like to know if it is possible to have more than one party affiliation at the same time. If this is not permitted, I am curious as to whether your office can inform me of the specific law that prevents this."
Here is the response:
"The statue on such matters is NJSA 19:23-45. An individual may have only one party affiliation at a time.
An individual can change party affiliations and can also now change from a particular party back to being unaffiliated.A unaffiliated voter can declare party affiliation at the polls on primary election day."
Thus, it looks like the answer, for New Jersey at least, is No.
However, there are some states that do not give their voters the option of registering with a party. See the related links for a story about this, which brought it to my attention. I don't know if you're prevented from voting in multiple primaries in these states, but regardless of which one you choose, they are open to everyone.
My suggestion is that anyone coming across this suggestion whose state is not included here should email their county clerk and ask this question (you can use my email as a template) and post the answer here.
