	Political spectrum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Political systems in which most people fall clearly into one group or another with almost no one in between, such as most nationalist controversies, are not well described by a political spectrum.
		Because the political franchise at the start of the revolution was relatively narrow, the original "Left" represented mainly the interests of the bourgeoisie, the rising capitalist class.
		While multiple axes on the political spectrum had been postulated for a while, statistical analysis of survey data using principal component analysis to verify the theory and establish their existence, number and meaning was not done until recently.

	party, political - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about party, political
		A party can be distinguished from an interest or pressure group, which seeks to influence governments rather than aspire to office, although some pressure groups, such as the Green movement, have over time transformed themselves into political parties.
		Parties may therefore be distinguished by their basic ideological commitment to the type of regime they seek to establish, but within that commitment they may be further distinguished by their degree of radicalism or conservatism, often referred to as Left and Right.
		Power within the party may be highly centralized or dispersed and the membership may merely endorse the decisions of the leadership or it may have a meaningful impact on the determination of party policy.

		Political parties constituted an essential building block in the construction and institutionalization of the relationship, and were in the vanguard of Europe's interest in events in Latin America.
		Instead, Spanish parties have relied on élite diplomacy; that is, visits to Latin America by high-ranking party members or the reception of Latin American leaders in Spain -or, in the case of the PSOE, claiming for the party the successes of Spanish governmental activity.
		European political parties, especially on the left, have also indirectly contributed to the rethinking of strategy and tactics which took place in the 1980s within Latin American socialist parties in particular, which in turn led to a shift towards social democratic ideologies on the left, and a greater possibility of consensus among the opposition.

		Political parties today focus on the needs and wants of voters in the same way that businesses seek to serve consumers.
		Demonstrating how British political parties use sophisticated political marketing techniques to gain electoral success, Jennifer Lees-Marshment looks at how they conduct focus groups and opinion polls, then change their behavior and political stances in order to reflect their findings.
		She analyzes how parties in Britain now attempt to offer a complete product--including their leader, membership rights, and policies--to appeal to a majority of voters, rather than adhering to a political ideology and firm belief system.
