The research is based on the theoretical approach to american major parties, which are, due to bipartism and first-past-the-post election system, forced to spread extent of their agenda to reach for large voter support in very diverse electorate. Third parties on the other hand are typical with their focus on a specific issue, usually ignored by both major parties. Our hypothesis states, that if third parties want to reach for relevant size of electorate support, their agenda should have, besides the distinctive issue, similar extent as the major parties agenda. Also, if they want to reach for attention of electorate with their distinctive issue, it...
