Bibby and Maisel have provided an account of third parties in America and why it is so difficult for them to prevail in elections. An historical section shows the growth of minor parties over time and their tendency to fade from the scene quickly. One strength of the book is its chapter on institutional factors that influence the short survival of third parties.
