Competition:One of the Relations among the Political Parties in the Western Countries

Competition is one of the components about the relations among the political parties in the western countries. The reason why competition exists among different political parties results from the pluralism in the western society, the temptation to get the ruling power, and the democracy that the ruling class shows. The main competitive forms are to attract political talents, to gain the voters＇support, to defend and criticize the ruling party＇s policies. The competition in the western countries should be restricted for the needs such as social existence, social stability and social development, and for the overall interests of the ruling class.
