		Shas is a party of Jews whose families lived in middle eastern countries; despite the fact that the vast majority of these people are traditional, neither secular nor really observant of the mitzvot, a hell of a lot of them vote for a party of rabbis dominated by one big rabbi.
		This is a party that will take your hard-earned shekels and give them to a yeshiva student who didn’t serve in the army and doesn’t want to get a job so that the Left can count on them to abstain on the crucial issue of future expulsions.
		When they were a party of workers, socialist and nationalist, they were strangling us and stunting our growth; when they transformed themselves into a party of the privileged, it was so they could endanger our lives and give chunks of our country away.

	Clean Elections - Making a Difference by Micah Sifry
		MVCE built an advisory board of respected state figures and former elected officials, and put two retired businessmen—one the former CEO of the largest private employer in the state (the Bath Iron Works) and the other the former president of the Maine Chamber of Commerce—out in front as spokespeople.
		The clean election movement has not been without setbacks, such as initiative defeats in Missouri and Oregon in 2000, where business lobbies and conservative ideologues moved to stem the grassroots challenge, often using entrenched incumbents to do their bidding.
		Clean elections advocates have also had to fight at every step to ensure that their experiments were defended in the courts and properly implemented in the field.

	E-Notes: Party Politics and Foreign Policy in East Asia
		In January 2005, FPRI convened a conference on the increasingly important role party politics is playing in foreign policymaking in East Asia, and the constraints foreign policy factors are imposing on party politics in some countries in the region.
		Any party differences in foreign policy were therefore epiphenomenal consequences of the preferences of leaders who came to power on the strength of their positions on other issues.
		Neither party can afford to ignore rising nationalism, but it is hard to gauge and harness; and stable or centrist party positions on foreign policy have limited purchase among a Korean electorate that, as elsewhere, votes largely on domestic and economic issues.

		We think the rhetoric of right wing populism is attractive to some forces on the left who side with business nationalists and isolationists because of joint opposition to global "free trade" treaties that undeniably benefit international corporate elites at the expense of working people.
		The call to put prejudice behind us is ironic indeed in this statement which really is asking people to close their eyes to the prejudice of Pat Buchanan with his history of racism, sexism, homophobia and antisemitism.
		The overall outcome of the producerist model of populism is a broad social and political movement sometimes called "Middle American Nationalism" or "The Radical Center" or "Middle American Radicals." Whatever the label, this is a form of repressive populism with a producerist narrative.
