	Scottish National Party
		The SNP first won a parliamentary seat in 1945 by-election but their candidate refused to attend Parliament on principle and lost the seat after three months.
		Their electoral high point was in the 1970s when they polled almost a third of all votes in Scotland at the October 1974 general election and returned 11 MPs to Westminster, to date the most MPs they have had.
		In the 1997 General Election campaign, the Conservatives accused the SNP of being the most left-wing political organisation in Europe since the collapse of the Communist regimes in Eastern Europe.

	European Parliament (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Other organisations of European countries such as NATO, the OSCE, the Council of Europe, and the Western European Union have parliamentary assemblies as well, but the European Parliament is unique in that it is directly elected by the people and has legislative power.
		Although the two institutions of the EU's executive, the European Commission and the European Council, both have their seats in Brussels, a protocol attached to the Treaty of Amsterdam requires the European Parliament to have monthly sessions in Strasbourg.
		Elections to the parliament are held using various forms of proportional representation, as selected by the member states.

		The 1997 General Election saw the SNP double their number of MPs from three to six and, with the return of the Labour Party to power at that General Election, saw the establishment of a devolved Scottish Parliament.

		On June 13, election night for most of Europe, I was invited to join a hundred or so of the EU elite -- a mix of politicians, parliamentary aides, policymakers and multilingual technocrats -- as they awaited the returns in a reception hall on the seventh floor of the Parliament.
		Indeed, the election is viewed in Brussels -- the capital of an integrated Europe -- from a new position as the EU evolves into a superpower that for the first time in history is based not on nationalism or military strength, but on the idea that national interests can be better expressed collectively than individually.
		I had been in Hungary in 1989, and watched as the streets churned with incredible energy and excitement and new political parties and movements were born.

		This was a post he held at the time of the Greens greatest, indeed only success at national elections in the UK, the election for members of the European Parliament in 1989.
		He wrote a book in 1989 called It Doesn't Have To Be Like This, setting out the vision and agenda of the Greens because he felt they were talking to each other and not to the public as a whole.
		As he was writing the book, and in his work for the BBC, he began to feel a presence around him, like there was always someone in the room when there was not.

	Why Toby Micklethwait is so optimistic about UKIP \| Samizdata.net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		He was a UKIP local council candidate in the recent elections, and did quite well, that is to say about as well as UKIP candidates did in the rest of the non-London southern part of England.
		The cavalier attitude of the major UK parties could be the cause of their downfall in the very near future, as the population grows increasingly agitated at the performance of their old boys club.
		To assume that European politicians understand the subtle and complex ways in which a free society works, or for that matter to even assume that they, some of which [especially the French!] are deeply resentful of the Anglosphere, even desire the United Kingdom to prosper, is crassly naïve.

		The clock has not yet struck 9 a.m., but the champagne is already flowing at the European Parliament.
		This is the sort of scene that comes to mind when you think of the European Parliament: a plush talking shop where politicians spend vast sums in pursuit of some vague European ideal.
		But since it flexed its muscles by bringing down the European Commission over slipshod accounting in 1999, the Parliament hasn't earned the respect to match that power, partly due to its own accounting problems.

		Changes in organizational strength for dissidents and the regime result from reported defections or purges in the communist party, the integration of Solidarity rural organizations and the cooperation between the Church and Solidarity after martial law was imposed.
		The maintenance of 20 million organizational strength for Solidarity during the period between martial law and the 1989 elections is justified by those elections as well as the symbols of support for Solidarity in the intervening years, e.g., the dissident masses in church.
