	Election Resources on the Internet: Elections to the Dutch Tweede Kamer (House of Representatives)
		Newly-formed parties, or existing parties that failed to obtain at least one House seat in the preceding general election are required to submit a deposit, which is forfeited in the event the party fails to poll at least one-half of one percent (0.5%) of all valid votes.
		In an early election held in 1982, Labour arrived in first place, but CDA formed a center-right coalition government with VVD, which polled strongly in the vote; D'66 was unable to hold on to its 1981 gains and suffered a major setback.
		However, after the 1989 general election the ruling coalition's parliamentary majority was reduced to just two seats, and CDA chose to form a center-left coalition with PvdA, with Lubbers remaining as head of government.

		Decreed that parliamentary elections should be held in May or June 1999, that all parties meeting the legal requirements would be able to compete, and that appointed military representation in legislative bodies should gradually be reduced in accordance with a law to be enacted later.
		Elections in 1999 will for the first time be held on a holiday to avoid workplace pressure and the possibility, as has happened in the past, that supervisors will know how their employees voted and take punitive action against them.
		He is handicapped by the generally low esteem in which the military is now held, but he should not be ruled out as a contender for one of the top two jobs, especially if a turbulent election campaign increases the public desire for stability.

		A constitutional monarchy was established in 1831, with a monarch invited in from the House of Saxe-Coburg Gotha in Germany.

		See also the Dutch political parties overview tables where the exact election results, as well as the alignment of the parties on several issues, are detailed.
		In general, Queen Beatrix is considered a very capable, very organised manager, and partly due to her unquestioned ability, anti-monarchical sentiment is essentially nil.
		Since the Dutch electoral system is an uneasy blend of the practice of party lists and the theory of individually elected MPs, there exists a complicated set of rules to allow voters to change the order of candidates.

	AHA Information: Bernard Bailyn Presidential Address (1981) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		What follows is nothing more than a general consideration of certain problems of modern historiography encountered by a working historian a historian, as it happens, just emerging from a considerable period of research and planning for a large-scale project.
		Modern historiography in general seems to be in a stage of enormous elaboration.
		Historians seeking to understand something larger than the painfully assembled local example sensibly attempt generalizations by bringing together an array of other, local examples; but the empirical "base" is usually thin enough to be quickly undermined by other studies using somewhat different data or simply by reinterpretations of the original data.

	KWCC Biography - MacArthur
		General Douglas MacArthur, was commander of Allied Forces in the Southwest Pacific during World War II, commander of the Allied Forces during the occupation of Japan, and commander of United Nations (U.N.) forces during the first nine months of the Korean War.
		In August 1918, MacArthur was promoted to brigadier general and became commander of the Rainbow Division’s 84th Infantry Brigade which he led in the St. Mihiel, Muese-Argonne and the Sedan offensives.
		A more considered appraisal of the general, however, would have to conclude that he was neither that clever nor that stupid.

	The Poll Bludger » Tasmanian Election 2006
		Following the 2002 election, it was widely argued that Labor’s surprise late-count defeat was caused by the fact that they had fielded six candidates, when voters are only required to number five boxes.
		It is true that they have failed to improve on the 2002 election, but since that saw an unrepeatably low vote for one of the two major parties, it is beyond me why this should come as a surprise.
		However, it should be recalled that the election night results from 2002 had most expecting a result of 3-1-1, as few could see how Labor could fail to win a third seat after preferences when their aggregate primary vote accounted for 2.95 quotas.

	GENERAL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		During the twenty-two months that the transitional government was to prepare for elections, a United Nations peacekeeping force, called UNAMIR, was to contribute to the security of the capital, protect opposition leaders as well as RPF troops stationed in Kigali, and facilitate the integration of the two armies.
		Yet, despite the successful outcome of negotiations in all-race elections which finally took place from April 26 to 28, 1994, the four years of transition were marked by increasing violence rather than a new peace: at least 14,000 people died in political violence between February 1990 and April 1994.
		Although levels of violence have decreased dramatically since the election, many communities remain divided, uncounted thousands have been displaced from their homes, and in the newly established region of Natal-KwaZulu local government elections threaten to lead to violence perhaps equal in intensity to that which preceded the national elections of April 1994.

		With the Security Council unable to recommend someone, the US circumvented the Soviet veto of Lie by proposing to the General Assembly that it approve an extension of his current term by three years.
		The incriminating files, stored away in the UN archives, were never consulted during the election process, a fact that subsequently drew unfavorable public attention to the Security Council's seemingly inadequate process for reviewing candidates.
		The General Assembly warmly applauded Boutros-Ghali before appointing Ghana native Kofi Annan as his successor. Annan first came to the attention of US Ambassador to the UN Madeleine Albright during his work in the former Yugoslavia as head of the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations.
