STUDENTS OF POLITICS ARE AGAIN ASKING HOW INSTITUTIONAL PATTERNS AFFECT POLITICAL OUTCOMES. THIS ARTICLE CONTRIBUTES TO THAT STREAM OF INQUIRY BY REVISITING V. O. KEY'S ARGUMENT THAT THE HAVE-NOTS OF SOCIETY FARE WORSE IN "DISORGANIZED" POLITICAL SYSTEMS BECAUSE THE LACK OF COHESIVE POLITICAL PARTIES WITH CLEAR CONSTITUENCY BASES MEANS THAT THEIR INTERESTS WILL NOT BE REPRESENTED EFFECTIVELY. THE AUTHORS FIND KEY'S ARGUMENT CONFIRMED IN A COMPARISON OF TAX REFORM IN NEW YORK AND CALIFORNIA. THE NEW YORK REFORMS, DECIDED BY COHESIVE, CONSTITUENCY-BASED LEGISLATIVE PARTIES, SPREAD THE TAX BURDEN MORE EQUITABLY THAN THE CALIFORNIA ONES, WHICH WERE DECIDED MAINLY THROUGH A SERIES OF DISCONNECTED PUBLIC REFERENDA.
