What are the political features of Hawaii?

Answer 1

Historically there have been three main niches of parties: Right-wing, Moderate, and Left-wing or Contemporary. The Hawaii Republican party the oldest and single Right-wing party and has been the sole party at times in Hawaii's history. There have been two moderate parties in the history of Hawaii the Hawaiian National Reform party and the Democratic party of Hawaii. Left-wing or Contemporary parties tend to have short life spans lasting a few decades. It should be noted that because these parties may not hold seats, they are not necessarily powerless in influencing the government, the Communist Party of Hawaii used strike actions while the Aloha Aina party of Hawaii used petitions. Most officers of the federal and state governments have been historically elected from the Democratic Party of Hawaii and the Hawaii Republican party. Municipal charters in the state have declared all mayors to be elected in nonpartisan races.
