	The Chancellor of Germany - German Government and Politics
		The federal government consists of the chancellor and his or her cabinet ministers.
		For that reason, some observers refer to the German political system as a "chancellor democracy." The chancellor's authority emanates from the provisions of the Basic Law and from his or her status as leader of the party or coalition of parties holding a majority of seats in the Bundestag.
		Every four years, after national elections and the seating of the newly elected Bundestag members, the federal president nominates a chancellor candidate to that parliamentary body; the chancellor is elected by majority vote in the Bundestag.

		In 1980 the party was founded as 'Die Grünen' on a federal level in West Germany.
		It was only due to a temporary modification of German election law, applying the five-percent 'hurdle' separately in East and West Germany, that the Greens acquired any parliamentary seats at all.

		Schroeder's election signals a changing of the guard, for he becomes the first postwar German leader who is too young to remember World War II.
		Schroeder was born in the Lower Saxony town of Mossenberg in 1944, the year his laborer father was killed while serving with the German army in Romania.
		Schroeder was a legislator from 1980 to 1986 and has been premier of Lower Saxony since 1990, but his flaws came in for particularly close scrutiny during this year's campaign.

	German Leader, Losing a State, Calls for Early Election by Fall - New York Times
		The decision to seek early elections was clearly a response to the Social Democrats' continued declining fortunes, capped by the widely expected loss of North Rhine-Westphalia in the election on Sunday.
		But in proposing that elections be held this fall, the Social Democratic leadership seems to be calculating that the longer it waits, the smaller its chances of staying in power will be.
		The decision now to seek early elections is being seen here either as another change in tactics by a party that is in the midst of an identity crisis, or perhaps as a sign of impatience by Mr.

		Ambassador: Well, I noticed that I didn't speak German when I arrived (laughter), but as the order of priorities it, today, because of the wonderful English-speaking capability of the German nation, and particularly the government, it's not as important as it might have been in the past.

	CNN.com - Liberals take slight lead in Quebec campaign - Apr. 6, 2003
		The Quebec Liberal Party under Jean Charest is widening its lead in the provincial election race, the latest polls say, but it still may not be enough to unseat the Parti Quebecois and its separatist agenda.
		Entering the final stages of the campaign for the April 14 vote, Charest, 44, was buoyed by his performance in last Monday's leaders debate and by surveys showing him ahead of Premier Bernard Landry, 66, and the Parti Quebecois.
		Charest, who was leader of Canada's federal Conservative Party before jumping into Quebec's political scene in the spring of 1998, has been hammering all week that a vote for the Action Democratique is a vote for the Parti Quebecois.

		Late in the night of June 14-15, 2000, the German government and the country's four largest electricity producers announced a compromise agreement on the eventual closing of the 19 nuclear power plants currently operating in Germany.
		The agreement, the product of a year and half of negotiation, sets general limits on the operating life and total electricity production of nuclear plants, but it also provides for a measure of flexibility in determining precisely how much longer individual plants will be allowed to operate within those general limits.
		In the coalition agreement they signed after their victory in the September 1998 Bundestag election, the Social Democrats and Greens committed themselves to laying the regulatory foundations for ending the use of nuclear energy.

		The one-sided results of the 2000 provincial election have served to nullify, at least for the present, one of the principal reforms brought in by the Progressive Conservative government in 1996.
		The record in Canadian federal elections is somewhat better, but the system is hardly efficient at manufacturing majorities; it did so on only half the occasions between 1921 and 1965 when the winning party did not have a majority of the popular vote.
		For instance, in the Irish elections of November 1982, 83 per cent of the votes cast helped to elect a candidate; Vernon Bogdanor contrasts this figure to the nearly 70 per cent of votes that were wasted in the British constituency of Barking in 1983.
