	Radical Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A number of political organizations have called themselves the Radical Party, or have Radical as part of their name.
		These include parties in France, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Argentina and Canada.
		The name Radical can have various meanings, varying from the original Radical movement for electoral reform which became associated with republicanism as well as with progressive Liberal parties, to the extreme right and the extreme left wing of the political spectra.

	Liberal parties (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		A liberal party is defined here as a political party, that adheres to the basic principles of (political) liberalism.
		At the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century liberals started to organise themselves in loose organisations and/or political parties in opposition to conservative, clerical and absolutist forces, striving after the emancipation of citizens and the middle class.
		The mainstream of liberalism continues on the path of gradual reforms, embraces electoral democracy as a basic liberal position and organizes itself in the form of the traditional liberal parties.

		The party's efforts to organize a general strike in 1959 were ineffective as was its involvement in guerilla attacks in the early 1960s.

		The two main parties, both conservative, are the Colorado party, which has governed since 1948, and the Authentic Radical Liberal party.

		A special vice-presidential election in August was narrowly won by the Liberal party candidate, Julio César Franco; it was the first national election lost by the Colorado party since it came to power in 1947.

		The existence of many factions within the Colorado Party did not indicate real pluralism but rather the fragmentation of an old political movement that had enjoyed both the benefits and the stresses of supporting a personalized authoritarian rule.
		Thus, the PLR and the remaining wing of the PL were the only challenges to the Colorado Party in the elections of 1973, 1978, 1983, and 1988.
