Major Political parties in USA

There are two big parties in American politics: The Democratic Party and the Republican Party. The Democratic Party is mainly a liberal party supported by the labor organizations and the intellectuals. The Democrats favors a government that should focus on social matters. The Republican Party is a more conservative party that is supported by the big corporations and the industry. The Republicans wants the government to have as little involvement in public life as possible. The difference between the two parties can be hard to see because a Republican from one state can easily be more liberal than a Democratic from another state.

Only two parties have grown big in the United States. This is because of the American election system. However, there are several small parties like Ralph Nader's Green Party and in fact there are also a Socialist Party and a Communist Party.
