Either they serve as a way for an obscure idea to become mainstream or they wither and die. What bout really evil parties? Well I see no sign that that letting evil people participate openly (as with Le Pens party in France) is any worse than having extremists take over mainstream parties as have happened with the Republicans in the U.S.<BR/><BR/>Let me preempt the Hitler example that is likely to follow (though maybe not from commentators on this blog). Hitler came to power from various causes including toleration of Nazi paramilitary gangs lone before the Nazis gained formal power. If you let political parties run their own private armed forces your political system is in serious trouble no matter the formal structure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9560953.post-73164594340577545872007-09-28T22:38:00.000-04:002007-09-28T22:38:00.000-04:00Urquhart?
