Typically one party systems tend to consolidate power along a specific party philosophy that will exclude others of differing opinions and further not allow those excluded to go to another party.

One party systems have some democratic aspects, rising through the party is often done with voting. However, the opinions of senior party leaders may have a very high level of influence on such votes.

Specific party dogma eliminates opposing viewpoints quickly meaning that it is difficult for the party to adapt to changing environments and new technologies. Social Networks and the problem they bring to one-party regimes is a good example today.

In the State of Texas in the United States of America there exists essentially a one-party situation. It is yet to be seen if the radical element of that party (called the Tea Party) can impose its agenda on the upcoming primary contests, particularly for the office of United States Senator.
