Atomic Party

Analysis of Potential Party Name

Comment below to add your thoughts concerning this prospective political party name.

MERITS

Suggests some scientific knowledge and commitment to power, perhaps for or against nuclear power or green energy. Perhaps rapid growth of a movement, such as a powerful third party that could put an end to politics as usual in the two party system.

DRAWBACKS

The name is ambiguous and perhaps too specific to environmental concerns even as such. As with any good name, the use of it would require a significant local presence with consistent positive branding.

Association Party

MERITS

Shows a willingness to work with others and if the alliance is a good one, could result in a dominant party.

DRAWBACKS

All depends on who it is that is working in association. Associations are also not the same as alliances. They may be associated with corporate lobby groups, for instance.

Ascension Party

MERITS

A calling to spiritual values could resonate positively with a majority of Americans. It is similar to Progressive in that regard but without the moral decadence often associated with it.

DRAWBACKS

It may be perceived as overly or overtly religious, which could seem intrusive.

Aquarian Party

MERITS

For many, it evokes a feeling of a new age, especially one dominated by love and peace.

DRAWBACKS

A song from a musical for hippies is hardly a strong basis for a lasting dominant political movement. The use of the term in Hair was also inaccurate from an astrological perspective. While we may well be moving into an Aquarian constellation period over the next 2,160 years, the rest of the song isn’t even supported by astrologists, and a majority of Americans consider astrologists to be flakes.

Apex Party

MERITS

Suggests a high ideal, making America the greatest it has ever been, awesomeness, possibly involving striving towards lofty goals and successfully achieving them.

DRAWBACKS

Once we reach a peek, what happens after that? The name suggests a possible subsequent decline.

MERITS

Breaking up Monopolies in the United States at this time is essential for putting an end to the plutocracy we’ve become.

DRAWBACKS

Outside of its already having been used, restoration of representative government and rule by the people will require far more than the break up of monopolies.

Anti-Monopoly

History

Established in 1884, but later replaced by the Greenback Party. Newton Booth was elected to the California senate (1875-1881) as an Anti-Monopoly candidate and Benjamin Shively to the US Congress from Indiana’s 13th district (1883-1885). Benjamin Butler was nominated to run for president in 1884 and received 175,350 votes.

Anti-Masonic Party

Analysis of Potential Party Name

Comment below to add your thoughts concerning this prospective political party name.

History

A bit of trivia: the Anti-Masonic Party was actually the first third political party in the United States (formed 1828). It ran on a single issue, opposing Free-Masonry, which may be telling. It sought to embrace broader issues to gain popularity but failed to obtain a majority. Its proponents were absorbed into the Whig Party by 1840 but the Party re-emerged from 1872-1888 under the leadership of Jonathan Blanchard of Wheaton College. The Party elected numerous House members from New York and Pennsylvania, and also some from Massechusets, Rhode Island, Ohio and Vermont, but never any senate members. President Millard Filmore began his career as a member of the Anti-Masonic Party.

MERITS

None, although Free Masonry is still popular to hate.

DRAWBACKS

Already used and no party should ever be built on hate. Should it?
