	Brazilian Labour Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The former was a leftist political party that arose in 1945 supported by followers of Getúlio Vargas and later dissolved after 1964 military coup.
		Since the party was a close ally of the PSD, it remained in power when Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira of the PSD was elected president in 1955.
		Ivete Vargas, niece of Getúlio Vargas, became the president of the party.

		The result of this division, disregarding fractions, is the party quotient, and each party or coalition elects as many deputies as its party quotient indicates; if there remain unallocated seats after the application of party quotients, these are distributed according to the largest average method.
		Regarding ideological stance, the PT is considered a left-wing party and the PSDB a center to center-left party, while the PMDB is centrist and the PFL is positioned to the right-of-center.
		Two groups sought to re-establish the Brazilian Labour Party (PTB) of the late president Getúlio Vargas, who ruled Brazil as a dictator from 1930 to 1945, and as a democratically elected president from 1951 until 1954, when he committed suicide.

	Brazilian Labour Party Information
		The Brazilian Labour Party (PTB) (Partido Trabalhista Brasileiro) is the name of two different parties, a historical one and another in the present days.
		The early days of the party were of much more prestige compared to nowadays, and showed many different characteristics from the ones observed in its present form.
		At this time a part of the party (The Center-Leftist) leaded by Leonel Brizola broke up with the party and founded the Center-Left party of Democratic Labour Party PDT.

	Chartist - Labour Party membership
		Labour Party leader Tony Blair stated in his 3rd British General Election victory speech that he had “listened and learned”, and then proceeded on a legislative programme that is further and further divorced from Labour values.
		Total Labour Party membership held up at just over 200,000 at the end of 2004, according to figures submitted to the Electoral Commission, under the disclosure rules required of all major political parties put on the statute book by Labour to clean up British politics.
		There are two stark facts that emerge from the data the Labour Party is obliged by law to provide to the Electoral Commission: it is unable to recruit and retain members and it is increasingly dependent on rich individuals to keep it financially solvent.

		A different emphasis, however, was adopted by some political scientists who considered the strategic errors of the Brazilian Communist Party — its search for an alliance with the national bourgeoisie and its refusal to accept the autonomy of the labour movement — as the decisive factors leading to the "failure" of 1964.
		The Worker's Party became the head of the political opposition and, since 1989, has posed a concrete political alternative, attaining 25 to 40 per cent of the national vote in presidential elections and winning an increasing number of local and state governments.
		Hence, Brazilian labour historians still have to translate themselves and be translated in languages of widespread international use, particularly English.

	Socialism Today - Lula election victory
		The construction of a new mass workers’ party, a left-wing socialist one, may be posed at a certain stage.
		As the party of consistent opposition to the Sarney government, who succeeded to power after the death of Tancredo Neves, the PT became the great hope for change for millions of Brazilians.
		The PT congress in 1991 marked the beginning of a new stage for the party, with the majority leadership moving toward a social democratic stance.

		Labour struggles - civil servants, workers in the private sector (eg at Volkswagen in the industrial ABC region in São Paulo, and the current bank workers' strike) - took place but tended to remain isolated.
		In spite of that, the party is not adopting a clear position of a "null" vote, leaving it free for its supporters to vote as they like.
		Socialismo Revolucionário, Brazilian section of CWI, acting as a tendency in PSOL, defends a socialist programme and a concept of a party that is democratic, militant, internationalist, based on local structures and linked to workers' struggles.

		On Thursday the president´s main political advisor and mastermind behind the Workers Party overwhelming victory in October 2004, Jose Dirceu resigned announcing he would return to Congress to defend "the President and the party".

		The party was the main expression of the more progressive wing of populism, while remaining subordinated to the overall project of import-substitution national economic development and class collaborationism.
		While the party's initial electoral impact was modest (national votes in various national, state and municipal polls averaged just three per cent in the 1980s), it became a substantial reference point for the radical social movements.
		These allowed the PT—a unique party that is a front of revolutionary and reformist forces—to use the administrations it controlled to further politicise the population while delivering to some extent on its policies of countering the effects of neo-liberal restructuring.

		Interestingly enough, one of the rationales for the Brazilian militaryâs seizure of power in 1964 was to “end political corruption.” Ironically, the levels of political corruption increased significantly during the 21 years of the military rule.
		The PT party has always claimed to be an ethical party, in contrast to a number of other national parties considered to be well practiced in venal behavior.
		Brazilian political institutions appear to generate incentives to primarily encourage unlawful practices such as delivering pork-barrel programs to political lawmakers and backers.

		Brazilian cabinet chief Jose Dirceu has resigned in the aftermath of a bribery scandal that has engulfed the government of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
		The opposition had been calling for Dirceu's resignation since the ruling Workers' Party was accused last week of paying bribes to lawmakers to ensure their support, undermining the party's promises to root out corruption in government.
		Government allies said Dirceu, who was head of the Workers' Party from 1995 to 2002, wanted to leave to avoid trouble for the administration.

	Brazil - Some facts and figures
		A right wing party with a base mainly in the north east of the country and the rural sectors, it was, with the PSDB, the principal point of support for president Fernando Henrique Cardoso (FHC) who became president in 1995.
		PSDB (Party of Brazilian Social Democracy) emerged from a split by the ’centre-left’ sectors of the PMDB, with a project of unifying the sectors with a social democratic orientation (without any link with the trade union movement) and the social liberal sectors.
		PT (Workers’ Party), founded in 1980, a mass workers’ party, emerged from the fusion between trade union sectors radicalized in the struggles against the declining military dictatorship, radical Christian currents and sectors of the Marxist left (primarily Trotskyists).

		A former PT member, who was expelled from the governing party in December 2003 for voting against Lulaâs tax reforms and pension proposals, Helena has tried to place herself as the true heir of socialist values in the country.
		After the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB) considered that a constituent assembly is unachievable, unless the country faces an "institutional breakdown", the PT has modified its wording, but not its intentions.
		If Brazilians decide to bring back Lula with fewer PT members to work with, the process of political reformâ”which could conceivably begin with a nationwide referendumâ”will be expedited.

	BRAZIL: Workers Party Survives Scandal Relatively Unscathed and Unchanged
		At the same time, a much smaller role will be played by the conservative parties that formed part of the governing coalition after the last elections, given the serious divisions they have suffered as a result of the current political crisis, said Santos.
		The results of the PT internal elections have left the party's leadership in the hands of the so-called Majority Camp that has guided its course since 1995, despite the role played by this bloc in the bribery scandal that has shaken up the Lula government since June.
		The election of former labour minister Ricardo Berzoini as the new PT president confirms the continued predominance of the centrist, pragmatic Majority Camp, although by a narrower margin than in the past.

	General secretary of the Israeli unions becomes leader of the Israeli Labour Party

		The right wing of the Labour Party, mostly middle class Ashkenazis, many of them generals, represent the interests not of the workers and the poor but of the middle class elite who are connected to the capitalist class.
		After the merger, Peretz ran for the leadership of the Labour Party on a platform of ending the coalition with Likud, led by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, and returning to Labour's historical social democratic policies and to the welfare state.

		Meanwhile, in an interview with the weekly magazine Epoca published on Friday, Liberal Party president Valdemar Costa Neto maintained that the coalition formed between his party and the PT in the 2002 presidential elections was based on a financial agreement negotiated with the participation of Lula himself.
		But Cavalcanti, a member of the conservative Progressive Party, is not free of suspicion either, since his party allegedly benefited from the bribes-for-votes scheme purportedly established by the PT.
		With over 800,000 members, the PT is Brazil's best organised party, and has close ties to the country's largest trade union federation, as well as a wide range of civil society movements in both urban and rural areas.
