Unstable Majorities

Polarization, Party Sorting, and Political Stalemate
Book • 2017
In 'Unstable Majorities', Frances E. Lee examines the current state of American politics, arguing that while political parties have become more polarized, the electorate itself remains relatively moderate.

The book explores how this disconnect leads to unstable majorities in Congress, where parties prioritize winning elections over effective governance.

Lee's insights reveal the complexities of party dynamics and the implications for democratic processes in the United States.
