Parties and accountability in the Philippines

Article Abstract:

The Philippine government remains to a large extent unaccountable because of a weak political party system. The party system has been structured in a way that gives voters limited options in choosing officials who will genuinely represent their interests. Philippine parties are virtually indistinguishable in terms of policy platforms and policy actions. Instability also characterizes Philippine parties, which are frequently wracked by defections.
