Particracy or Rule of the Parties is a government system in which political power is concentrated within the bureaucratic machines of political parties. The term is usually a pejorative against representative democracies in which the representatives are not seen as actually representing their constituents but rather the interests of the political parties they belong to.

Although advocacy for a particracy could be seen as being something one could unironically advocate for, in the form of a one-party state (vanguardism).

Conceptions

One-Party States

One way in which particracy has been historically implemented is in the form of a One-Party State. This is also the only form of particracy that is likely to be sincerely advocated for. One-party states are states governed by one major political party, and all other parties are either banned or hold little power. While one-party states have been led by parties of many different ideologies, some of the most common examples are countries led by Marxist-Leninist (such as the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the Communist Party of China, and the Communist Party of Cuba), Ba'athist (such as the National Progressive Front of Iraq and the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party of Syria) or fascist (such as the Nazi Party of Germany, the National Fascist Party of Italy, and the Fatherland Front Party of Austria) parties.

First-Past-the-Post Elections

Another way in which particracy has been historically implemented and is still currently implemented is in the form of First-Past-the-Post Elections. This is unlikely to be sincerely advocated for as a form of particracy because it is “not so pure”. First-past-the-post elections create two-party states where one major political party leads the opposition to the governing party and other parties may not necessarily be banned, but either the governing party is ideologically varied enough to cover what would be their bases or they hold little power in the opposition. Most countries with theoretically democratic elections run first-past-the-post legislative elections.
