	Left-wing politics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In politics, left-wing, the political left or simply the left are terms that refer to the segment of the political spectrum typically associated with any of several strains of, to varying extents, socialism, green politics, anarchism, communism, social democracy, progressivism, American liberalism or social liberalism, and defined in contradistinction to its polar opposite, the right.
		Spiritual Left refers to the many people who identify with the social transformative vision of the Left, and its commitment to social justice, peace, ecological sanity,and economic equality, but who base their commitment on their own spiritual or religious traditions.
		The next large anti-war movement that involved the western left was that against the Vietnam War; it triggered much opposition beyond the ranks of the left and is generally thought of as part of a growing counter-culture movement which took up many different left-wing issues.

	"Centre-Left" Regimes In Latin America By James Petras
		The "centre left" governments of Lula in Brazil, Kirchner in Argentina, Tabare Vazquez in Uruguay, Evo Morales in Bolivia, Toledo in Peru, and Gutierrez in Ecuador are measured against a set of criteria designating espousal of leftist politics, a test failed by them all.
		A close reading of their writings, however, reveals that these left intellectuals were more influenced by the text and rhetoric of "centre left" personalities and parties, and less by their class practices, economic policies, strategic political appointments, and their elite linkages before and after being elected.
		By contrast, the "centre left" regimes and their leftist intellectual supporters represent a sad epitaph on the "radical" generation of the 1970s and 1980s: they are a spent force, lacking critical ideas and audacious proposals for challenging imperialism and capitalist rule.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Europe's swing to centre-left (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Social-democracy has become the left-wing school that does not reject the principle of market economy while at the same time insisting on vesting it with a 'social dimension' to counterbalance its propensity to deepen class discrepancies, increase unemployment and expose wide sections of the population to critical frustration and discontent.
		Today, social-democracy is looked upon in many European countries as the school of the Left that is best equipped to lead its other component elements and win over much wider majorities than the 51 per cent achieved, for instance, by the French Socialist Party during the Mitterrand presidency.
		All over Europe, it is trends that attribute themselves to a renovated Left, and which Tony Blair has described as advocates of a Third Way, which hold the forefront of the political arena.

		the Socialist Left and the Centre Party will take a number of cabinet positions in the new government, yesterday's result was first and foremost a victory for their Labour allies, and in some ways leave the two parties in a weaker position.
		The Centre Party, which is predominately a party advocating devolution as it received its core support from the rural regions, managed to maintain its share of the vote, but the Socialist Left lost over a third of its seats.
		Despite the Labour party's success, both the Socialist Left and the Centre Party have stated their intent to fight their corner and there is still the potential for some major splits within the government in the near future.

		But the centre parties are often close to the parties of the left, and the Progress Party may also support "left" points of view from time to time.
		The Socialist Left Party got the minister of finance, the minister of education, the minister for environment, the minister for renewal of public services and the minister for development aid and conflict prevention.
		The ministers from the Socialist Left Party are attacked for not keeping "promises" from the SV party programme, although the reason is either that our negotiators were not able to get those promises into the government platform or that our ministers are voted down inside the Government.

		Centre is proud to be a Division III college - a school where the scholar athlete is the norm, not the exception.

		This is the context for the thirdâ”still ongoingâ”cycle for the Latin American Left, one marked both by institutional practice and social resistance, within the framework of global liberal hegemony.
		Or the economic model of Cardoso could be maintained, whether due to the global influence of liberalism, to the Leftâs inability to articulate strategies for a rupture with Washington Consensus programmes, or to the lack of sufficient strengthâ”social, political and ideologicalâ”to carry that rupture through.
		It was here that a grass roots trade unionism developed during the 1970s, despite the military ban, and at the end of the decadeâ”under the leadership of a new generation of trade-unionists, including the northeasterner and former car-worker Lulaâ”carried out a series of strikes that broke the regimeâs wage policy.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| International \| Shifting to the right
		He said recently that the choice now is not between the right and the left, but between "innovators and conservatives." It was D'Alema who led the moderate communists to break away from the communist party and form the Democrats of the Left, still the largest centre-left party.
		Ultimately, he was constrained by the need to please his motley coalition and allies in parliament and sometimes failed to make reforms that he called for and wanted to push through.
		It is hardly surprising, therefore, that the new Amato government's composition reflects a stronger centrist shade, a shift further away from the left.

		The main left party is the “new” Labour party based on the trade union federation, the Histadruth, and is a social democratic party similar to the British Labour Party.
		This struggle will lead to a growth of a left opposition within the Labour party, which in turn will reflect the masses of workers in Israel that are already to the left of all existing parties.
		In the past people in Israel differentiated between the political left (those who are ready to support the idea of two capitalist states) and the social left (those who raise socio-economic issues).

	Italy’s centre-left and Europe’s future Denis MacShane - openDemocracy
		The left's fragmentation and its indifference to the heritage of European liberalism has allowed a more flexible democratic right to reorganise itself at key moments in 20th-century European history and form coalitions sufficiently attractive to voters to win power over long periods.
		While the French and German parties of the left remained wedded to 2oth-century models of political organisation and policy, the Italian left was already beginning its process of realignment.
		Yet for most European political activists of the left, the debates and decisions of the European parliament, while interesting and important are far removed from the daily struggle to promote progressive politics at the local, city, regional and national level.

	New Centre, Third Way, by Daniel Bensaïd
		A renewed social democracy has to be left of centre, because social justice and emancipatory politics remain at its core.
		From all this derives a bold programme to establish a Third Way which is to be a "radical centre", a new "democratic state without enemies", an active civil society, a "new mixed economy", a new "family democracy", a "civic liberalism" beyond the society of labour, a "cosmopolitan nation".
		The sole perspective of this new radical centre is to look after the profits under the surveillance of the finance markets.

		The extreme left rejects the economy free trade policy as selfish and aggressive (Bertinotti, the leader of Rifondazione Comunista states "The freedom they talk about is their freedom, achieved at the expense of someone else, the workers").
		The D.C. purported it was an ecumenical, universal party, representing all social classes and orientations, with a left, a centre, and a right-wing within the party.
		In the 1994 elections the left coalition, which had opposed the centre-left government for more than 30 years was thus favourite, but at that stage something unexpected happened: the centre-right wing middle class appeared on the scene, and it won the elections.

		Some leftists have gone as far as suggesting that perhaps Moretti may be the ideal candidate to take up the leadership of a badly battered, splintered and disoriented left.

		The two main parties in the centre of the political spectrum were weakened, boosting the rightwing Swiss People’s Party and the centre-left Social Democrats.
		This is borne out by the latest opinion poll by the Demoscope research institute, which forecasts a clear majority of voters rejecting the proposals.
