Democratic, Republican, Green Party, Libertarian Party, Constitution Party
The two major political parties in the United States are the Democrat Party and the Republican Party. In the political power structure in the USA, third parties have a short life and tend to divert votes from one of the major parties who have similar beliefs. This weakens the party closest to the 3rd party.
The Democratic Party and the Republican Party.
The answer to this is very clear. Any large political party such as the two major parties in the USA, the Republican & Democrat parties have a multitude of polices they endorse and do not have a single cause. Even third parties have at least two or more causes they endorse.
The other major political parties include: Libertarian Party Green Party Constitution Party. There are quite lot of minor political parties like the Independent American Party, Communist Party, American Pacifist Party, Socialist Party USA, America First Party, and United States Pirate Party.
In USA: Ideological Parties - based on a particular set of beliefs (Example: Libertarian Party) Single Issue Parties - focus only on one public matter. (Example: The Green Party, for saving the enviornment) Economic-Protest Parties - care about all matter of economy (Example: Populist Party) Splinter Party - those that split away from one of the major parties (Example: Bull Moose Party) Thes are the four TYPES of political parties.

Oh, in europe, unions do not pretend not to be political parties. In the USA, unions pretend not to be agents of a political party.
Political deadlock is a situation where competing political parties have equal representation in the political system making it impossible for decisions to be made.
The four main linkage institutions are elections, political parties, interest groups and the media. 1. Elections allow people to get involved and have a voice in the political system 2. Media lets the people know about almost everything that goes on in the govt. 3. Lobby groups: that is - sets of non governmental bodies who can represent our specific interests during any period of government e.g. workers groups (unions) business groups (chambers of commerce) agricultural interests (farmers groups) impoverished and marginalised people ( the several groups who work to represent their interests) etc 4. Political parties (in Australia: Liberals/ Greens/Labour). In USA they would be Republicans/ Democrats and further minor parties, so that after any one group's period in government we, the sovereign people, have a ready made alternative group who are capable, ready, and informed enough for us to move to when we disagree with the government we earlier elected.
The dominant political parties in the USA are the Democrats and the Republicans. Though someone from the Green Party was a few electoral votes away from winning the 2000 election, the Green Party rarely comes this close and is not considered a dominant political party in this country. Some other political parties are communism and socialism, but they don't have very much power in this country.
Because there are two major parties in the USA: the Democratic and the Republican (although people are free to organise or join any other parties).
Some similarities between Norway and the USA is that they both political parties and they have legal protection.
