  Lithuania: Political life, parties - A part of Randburg
The case of Lithuania was not unique: in the experience of world liberation movements, the primary organisation also fulfils the function of a matrix organisation, and gives birth to political fracturing.
The Social Democratic Party was the first to effect its restoration, on the 12th of August 1989 as if this role were its due: it was the first political party in Lithuania's history, established back in 1896.
These are basically the principal parties which play a decisive role in the shaping of the current political landscape (with the exception of the Independence Party, which has vanished).

An example is Lithuania where the right won in the first election, the left returned in the second, and a right-center took control in a third (for which this research project has no data at the local level).
Center parties are either the largest single party in the center or the two largest center party in coalition, either electoral or governmental.
Parties, which are not much used to get support nor seen as very important ways of people influencing decisions, are viewed as attracting people for social ends and as a way of building community rather than establishing governments in elections.

 Central Europe Review - Lithuania: Changing the Rules at the Half
Though the parliamentary elections in Lithuania are due in early October, the campaign has been in full swing since the end of the local elections back in March.
However, both parties, especially the Conservatives, have strong party loyalty and should clear the barrier [for more on this and a prediction of the October election results, see the detailed study by Nerijus Prekevičius and Terry Clark in this week's Baltics Special Issue].
Surprisingly, some established parties would have been hit by this rule as well, leaving then Social Democratic leader Aloyzas Sakalas and current Centre Union head Romualdas Ozolas without mandate seats (though no doubt they were highly placed on their parties' lists).

The traditional parties have said to prefer to form a rainbow coalition instead of cooperating with the new populist Labour Party, but negotiations for this coalition were not succesful.
In 1936 the party was banned and during the German occupation the party stationed abroad.
However, party representative and MEP Degutis admitted that it is more likely to seek cooperation to the right, because representatives of the Labour Party are part of the European Liberal and Democratic Alliance in the European Parliament and are successfully coordinating their views with Arturas Zuokas, the leader of the Liberal and Centre Union.

In the municipal elections in eastern Berlin in the spring of 1992 the most successful grouping was the Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS), formed on the basis of the former Socialist Unity Party of Germany.
The PDS proclaimed itself a radical left party; rejecting the ideology of the Communists, it did not accept the mild reformism of the social democrats either.
Brazauskas's party now has to show whether it is capable of forming parliamentary coalitions and of arriving at compromises with other political forces, without at the same time renouncing its own principles.
