Post-partisanship is an approach to
dispute resolution between political factions that emphasizes compromise and
collaboration over political ideology and
party discipline. It does not imply neutrality. From 2000-2007, there were virtually no online media references to the term "post-partisan". Media and Web references to the term are growing rapidly as the concept takes hold among policy-makers.The
New York Times has attributed an oblique reference to post-partisan idealism in a statement by
US President Thomas Jefferson, when he declared in his inaugural address in 1801: "We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists. "
