Times Liberal Columnist: Bring Back Partisan Politics to Los Angeles

View the original

Abel Maldonado wants to end political parties as designations on the ballot.  The LA Times editorial board  demands the end of partisan politics.

Yet a liberal Times columnist understands the issue.  He understands that the reason people do NOT vote in LA municipal elections is because of their non partisan nature.

"Moreover, this local disconnection between Angelenos and their electoral politics magnifies the power of small, disgruntled groups concerned with narrow issues, and creates a field day for special interests, who only have to swing a few thousand voters to decisively influence an election.

What ought to be done? Here's a radical reform that would make a difference: Abandon nonpartisan municipal elections.
