Examining the record of the House minority party from 1970 to the present, and drawing from a wide range of quantitative and qualitative data, Green shows how and why the minority seeks to influence legislative and political outcomes and demonstrates that the party's efforts can succeed. The result is a fascinating appreciation of what the House minority can do and why it does it, providing readers with new insights into the workings of this famously contentious legislative chamber. 606 $aPolitical parties$zUnited States 606 $aOpposition (Political science)$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1945-1989 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1989- 615 0$aPolitical parties 615 0$aOpposition (Political science) 676 $a328.730769 686 $aPOL006000$aPOL015000$aPOL042020$2bisacsh 700 $aGreen$b Matthew N.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0193638 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818575003321 996 $aUnderdog Politics$93986990 997 $aUNINA
