Isi artikel

One of the legacies of the Marcos regime is the proliferation of political parties competing to win elections and control the government. It is uncertain if this development will lead to a multi-party system because only two of the six major parties share control of the legislative branch. The appearance of a two-party system can also be seen. This gives credence to the view that the party system in the Philippines is still evolving. Regardless of what will eventually arise, there is no evidence on which to base the speculation that the weak, undisciplined, non-ideological nature of these parties will change. In the election system, the role of money has a decisive influence on voting outcomes, so do voting blocs that are regionally and religiously based. Voting turn-outs are high largely due to popular interest in politics, but voting outcomes do not always reflect the people's choice if irregularities in the election process occur and "goons, guns and gold" determine the results.
