1.    Research political parties in your country.

2.    What type of government does the country have?  How is power organized?  Is there a head of state?  A legislative branch?  Is it a unitary or federal system?

3.    Find out how many parties there are – provide an estimate or exact count

4.    Find out which parties, if any are considered “major” or “ruling”

5.    How are parties categorized?  Are there some that are “authorized” while others are not officially recognized?

6.    What are the issues around which the parties are organized?  Are their ideological, economic, social issues?

7.    Write about what you learn on your blog, include at least one image to illustrate, and link to your sources.
