Political parties are associations of politicians and voters who have similar stances on political issues.

Throughout its history, the United States has seen the rise and fall of many parties, including:
- Federalist Party
- Antifederalist Party
- Democratic-Republican Party
- Whig Party
- Anti-Masonic Party
- Know Nothing Party
- Liberty Party

Canadian parties include the Liberal Party of Canada, the Conservative Party of Canada, the Bloc Quebecois, and the NDP. Historically, there have been dozens of "joke" parties, particularly in Canada. These include the Canadian Rhino Party, and its successor Quebec party, the Parti Citron.[1]
