Is the representational role of political parties declining in Australia, as some political scientists claim to be the case in other countries? Do the established parties constitute a kind of cartel, preserving their own dominance and blocking new entrants? Do such trends bode ill for democracy? Such questions are the thematic element in this book, linking otherwise disparate chapters on the major Australian parties, their structures, organisation and resources, and election campaigns. Interesting chapters on the Nationals and the Democrats, and on the Greens and Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, broaden the coverage beyond the two major parties. Consideration of the Greens, in particular, shows that, even if the major parties do try to operate as cartels, they are not effective in practice in blocking new entrants that have new, more innovative and more inclusive ways of working. A concluding chapter on the New Zealand experience also shows how ‘non-cartel’ parties can play the role of ‘circuit breakers’ or ‘substitute suppliers of policy’. One obvious lesson there is that a system of proportional representation helps in loosening the grip of the big players on the political process By focusing on the institutional practices of political parties that are fundamental for the future of democracy, the book provides a useful contrast to the superficial media focus on party leadership rivalries.
