Description for How Parties Win
Paperback. Ireland s major political parties maintain their power by playing voters interests and issues to their own advantage" Num Pages: 304 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: 1KBB; JPHC; JPL. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 231 x 154 x 29. Weight in Grams: 470.
In recent decades, Ireland’s three major political parties have maintained over 80 percent of the vote in the face of rapidly shifting social divisions, political values, and controversial issues, though not by giving voice to particular interest groups or reacting to issues of the day.
