Political Parties In The Republic Of Macedonia
The liberals are apparently supposed to represent the political centre between leftand right parties. The Liberal party problem seems to lie in the dilemma of

Extractions: Links News Places Studies ... By many of its characteristics, the Liberal Party is one of the most specific political parties in Macedonia. This is best illustrated by the party's development from its foundation until today; it went through several phases, following the pace of changes in and around the country, but consistently remaining on its basic course being a moving force of reformatory and democratic processes in Macedonia. In such an atmosphere, the party had, just like all other parties, many ups and downs. In any case, the Liberal Party, restlessly trying to build an image of a true democratic and progressive force, was etiquetted as "imported party", "faceless", "bureaucratic-managerial", "greedy for power", or a "party which is only an heir of a former political option of the already non-existing Yugoslavia." On the other hand, the Liberals themselves, ever since their emerging, are in a latent, but continuous conflict with every one around them, repeatedly pointing out their goals, ideas and projects are mined, their contribution is underestimated, or, simply, they are being unjustifiably neglected. Their recent especially increased rivalry with the coalition partner SDSM at times even presented threat to the survival of the govt itself. The Liberals even accused the media of being under strong influence of SDSM. Thus, a pretty much contradictory situation was created within the Liberal party itself on one hand, it considerably participated in the executive governing with the country, through 3 very significant govt bodies (foreign relations, economy and public health), and, on the other, the party was continually dissatisfied and critical towards the govt.

SPECIAL-INTEREST GROUPS FEEDBACK numberfour Even the socialist Liberals themselves were surprised by their huge win in this past election. The wily Prime Minister Chretien knew that he had laid out enough millions of taxpayers' money in the form of HRDC grants, government bank loans and regional equalization welfare payments to win any election. And he did. In spades. Except in the West. The Alliance, as predicted, took the West and the Bloc Quebecois took Quebec. But that means nothing in the overall numbers because our archaic electoral system gives the win to the party that wins the most votes in each constituency even though the majority of the voters may have voted for other candidates. This is the time between elections when Canadians should think of correcting our electoral system. Entrenched politicians and their media friends are reluctant to mention this subject. This present Canadian system emphasizes the regional political divisions in the country where the majority of Canadians in the West the Alliance Party or in Quebec the Block Quebecois are shut out of power sharing. The Canadian voting system is called, "First past the Post." It is fair only if there are 2 candidates running for office. But if there are three candidates, the winning candidate only needs 34% of the overall vote to win because the opposition is split in two. Therefore the 66% of the voters who voted for the opposition lost their votes. Therefore the majority of the voters were silenced. If there are 5 candidates, the winner only needs 21% to win. Therefore the vast majority of voters (79%) could loose their votes. Therefore real democracy where the majority choose the canditate means nothing in this system

Their enthusiasm is washed away when they are allowed as Members of Parliament to decide how much and what type of pay raise to give themselves each year just before parliament closes for 3 months each summer. To be able to do this and still claim the moral high ground is an example of what Canadian individuals have to accept from their isolated MPs.

http://www.resident.com/11_11/politics.html

Extractions: http://www.nycivic.org Despite the Liberal Party's dismal showing on Nov. 5, obituaries for the 58-year-old third party are premature. The Liberals fell well below the 50,000 minimum required for recognition as a political party in New York State. But this does not necessarily mean they will go out of existence. They may organize, if they wish, and nominate candidates by petition as other minor parties do and have done in the past. This is an issue the party must decide for itself. There are several major reasons for the debacle. The main one is that the party's candidate for governor, Andrew Cuomo, withdrew from the race early in September, even before his anticipated defeat in the Democratic primary. He then supported his former rival, Carl McCall, in hopes of retaining his future political viability. My article on Cuomo's untimely withdrawal can be read online by going to www. nycivic.org/articles/020906.html. But the presence at the top of the ticket of a noncandidate who was in fact supporting someone else created an impossible situation for the Liberals. Why should anyone vote for Andrew Cuomo if he won't even vote for himself? This was the problem when Alan Hevesi ran on the Liberal line for mayor in 2001; he received a mere 8,027 votes. However, in politics, as in baseball, there is always next year, as Controller Hevesi has just shown us.

http://www.stortinget.no/english/partygroups.html

Extractions: The 165 representatives in the Storting organize themselves into party groups, each of which includes all the representatives belonging to a single party. At group meetings the parties define their political positions and formulate their views on issues currently being dealt with in the Storting. Each group elects a steering committee and a chairman, who is also called the party's parliamentary leader. The chairman and the steering committee make certain political decisions, coordinate group activities, suggest the distribution of representatives among the committees, assign speaking time, and so forth. Each group has its own secretariat in the Storting to assist the representatives in various ways, both practical as well as political. Each group has at least one political adviser and one or more office secretaries. The size of a group secretariat is determined by the size of the party representation during each electoral term. Office staff are hired by the party group, but they are on the Storting's payroll. The groups hire and pay the salaries of their political advisers, so the size of this staff is determined by the size of the party and its finances. Each political party represented in the Storting also receives an annual allowance in proportion to its representation for payment of its group secretariat.

http://www.coalitionforbc.ca/qa/

Extractions: Where did this idea come from? It started last February with a group of friends meeting in a living room. We were all worried about what the BC Liberal government was doing to our province, and we all shared a concern about the vote against the Liberals being split in 2005. We know BC has the potential to be a place where communities flourish, where people take care of one another. But the BC Liberals do not share that vision. In fact they are headed in the opposite direction. We decided we had to do something about it. We haven't spoken yet with the leadership of either party. Initially, we expect that they will both be skeptical about this idea. After all, they have spent many years building their parties and competing with each other, and what we are proposing is new, different and calls on each of them to begin a process to set aside their political competitiveness in favour of political cooperation. But we have spoken with hundreds of members and supporters of the NDP and the Greens - and hundreds of others who aren't connected with either party. Virtually every one of them has been excited by and interested in the idea of a cooperative electoral coalition. That's not surprising since most British Columbians are opposed to the Liberals' programs and are looking for a way to defeat them and move ahead.

Extractions: European Politics - An explanation In the description of every country I also mention which parties make up each current gouvernment. This can be significant as certain parties are tolerant or sympathetic towards creationism or even endorse it. But as European politics can be quite different from American politics I felt a brief explanation of what every kind of party stands for would be appropriate. Compared with the US, European politics is quite shifted towards the left. During the cold-war, the political currents dominating many Western European countries, and the policies flowing forth from it, can be regarded as more or less intermediate between the hard-line kapitalism in the USA and the socialist regimes in Eastern Europe. It should therefore be borne in mind that European political parties are hard to compare directly with their American counterparts, due to the differing political climates. Another big difference is that there are many more different parties that have a stake in parliament in European countries as compared with the two main parties that dominate the American Congress. Therefore, it is usually necessary for a European party that has won most votes to form a coalition with another party (or more), with often somewhat different political views, in order to gain a majority in parliament. I will give a brief description of the kinds of political currents that are generally found in European countries. Then I will discuss the significance of this for creationism. There can be said to be three main pillars in European political currents: The Social-democrats, the Liberals and the Conservatives.

Extractions: There was a time, not long ago, when Stockwell Day was feared by federal Liberals because they considered him to pose a legitimate threat to their party's electoral dominance. Today, some Liberals fear Day because they consider him to pose a legitimate threat to his own party's very existence. On the surface, it's difficult to think of a better scenario for the governing party than a victory by Day in the Canadian Alliance's imminent leadership vote. After all, the former Alberta treasurer is a known entity, and he's badly damaged goods. Under his renewed leadership, the Alliance would be virtually guaranteed of losing ground in the next election; in fact, Day is so unpopular with the general public that his party could be knocked right off the map. Under Stephen Harper, on the other hand, the Alliance would remain at least a mild force to be reckoned with. Day's leadership opponent wouldn't stand much chance of actually leading his party to victory - indeed, even he seems to understand that's not a realistic goal - but he'd be capable enough to ensure that the Alliance maintained a significant support base, and stood a chance of defending its status as parliament's Official Opposition.

Extractions: Religious Involvement Young adults who identify with one of the two major party labels have more positive and well-defined views about politics than independents who seem to be more disengaged than ideologically middle-of-the-road. Young adults who associate themselves with a partisan or ideological label on either the Left or the Right are more likely than others to be registered voters. Registration rates among Democrats and Republicans (78% and 76%, respectively) are significantly higher than among Independents (58%). There is a similar, though less strong, relationship among ideologues liberals and conservatives (72% and 74%, respectively) tend to be registered to vote in higher shares than moderates (63%). Conservative ideologues have many of the same attributes as Republicans Volunteerism is more common among Republicans than among Democrats, but in both parties, strong partisans are dedicated volunteers.

Extractions: - Jan 2002 February 4, 2003 Greg Barns - The Age John Valder, Fred Chaney, Peter Baume, John Hewson and Malcolm Fraser. All are prominent Liberal Party figures of the past two decades. All are opposed to the Howard-led Liberal Party's Iraq strategy. And all are no longer in the Parliament. Their public dissent on this issue is just the latest example of a disturbing characteristic of the 21st century Liberals - it is only voices from the past that speak out publicly against the party's stance on matters of gravity. The current crop of Liberal MPs reserve any criticism they might have to the confines of the strictly private party-room meetings. In the case of the debate on Iraq it is extraordinary that this should be so - it is certainly not in the Canadian or British parliaments. The essence of a robust democratic political party is the capacity for its MPs and members to be loud, clear and public when they believe the leadership of their party is wrong - and this should be the case still more so when the nation's security is in question. On the matter of Iraq this appears to be the case in the British Labour Party, the Canadian Liberals, and even the ALP.

Extractions: The Conservatives had been quite against womens suffrage. This seems odd since in reality the women who would have been granted the vote would have been middle and higher class women. This would have almost certainly meant an increase in support for the Conservatives. This was in fact later seen after women gained the vote in 1918. The Liberal party was not completely against women suffrage, however it feared that if it did support the female franchise, then they would lose support as propertied women from, the middle and higher class, would probable gain the vote first. Also, the Liberal Party was very preoccupied with setting up the 'Welfare State'. The Labour party formed in 1893 felt that it was more important to achieve votes for all working men first, then it would deal with the franchise for women. Unfortunately, the Labour party was fairly small, and its support for the franchise for women would not have made a great deal of difference unless another political party also supported it.

It's to be commended for getting its policies out early, and I will admit that it takes courage to open up ones' policies for critique. This, however, should not spare them from criticism. Going to the horse's mouth and reading the Liberal's election platform , I would have to say that the Liberals' proposals sound good, but mean less. My main interest in the upcoming provincial election is public transit. Ontario needs it, and we're not getting it. Will any party come forward with the $400 million per year spending increase needed to ensure that the Greater Toronto Area (and the rest of the province) doesn't choke on congestion and pollution. Both the Liberals and the NDP hammer the Progressive Conservatives for their atrocious record on transit, but do they offer anything better? The Liberal Party's commitment to public transportation in Ontario is a little hard to find. It's tucked away in under their Environmental policies. Here is what they have to say: Public Transit Renewal: For every litre of gasoline purchased, two cents of the existing provincial gasoline tax will be dedicated to public transit, generating an additional $312 million a year in funding for public transit infrastructure.

"We, in public life, in democracies, have an obligation to address growing cynicism towards government," he said. "We must deal with the perception that money can buy undue influence. We will bring about real reform and add more credibility to the Canadian political process." According to his advisors, he is determined to introduce legislation with teeth, that would ban contributions from corporations and unions, and increase the amount of public funding of political parties. Already, leaked reports of his intentions have set off mutterings of outrage among Liberals, with Stephen LeDrew calling the idea "dumber than a bag of hammers." This, in case you forgot, is the president of the Liberal party on a proposal by his leader, the Prime Minister.
