	Election Resources on the Internet: Federal Elections in Brazil
		The 1988 constitution stipulates that the Federative Republic of Brazil is a legal democratic state, in which all power emanates from the people, who exercise it by means of elected representatives or directly.
		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.

	kotaji 거타지 :: The rise of Korea’s Democratic Labour Party :: December :: 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		At the beginning of the year the DLP was still a minor party that tended to be dismissed by mainstream commentators, but in April it won 10 seats in the general elections to the National Assembly, gaining 13 percent of the vote.
		It seems the leadership have consciously tried to model the party on Brazil’s PT (Workers’ Party) so this raises the spectre of a Lulaesque drive for electoral victory and then a swift accommodation to the real powers that be once in power.
		But this seems to be, partially at least, wishful thinking on the part of the rightwing media - the student movement is still strong, the civil society and democracy groups are still influential and active and people as a whole are, if anything more leftwing than before.

		In Brazil, da Silva is the name of the anonymous, and as such is the perfect name for a leader who always claimed to represent the interests of over 50 million anonymous poor.
		In seems that the anonymous da Silvas and all the historically marginalised citizens of Brazil have finally reacted against the elites, electing a worker as the leader of a new kind of institutional politics as a genuine res-publica.
		The da Silvas of Brazil can be hopeful, but they should remain watchful; at least until the elections of 2004, when they could revalidate or reject the politics of the PT in municipal elections.
