Political Parties face inherent tension between the holders of marginal seats and Safe Seat s. Holders of safe seats tend to get far less discretionary resources--governmental as well as political-- from their political party than do holders of marginal seats. A similar phenomenon happens in US Presidential elections, where the Electoral College system means that candidates must win states rather than votes. Again, resources are concentrated towards the Swing State s with the smallest majorities. SEE ALSO |
