		The Conservatives were the country's first ruling party, with the election of Sir John A. Macdonald in 1867, although in the late1800s, the party was known as the "Liberal-Conservative Party." Considered to be on the political right-of-centre of Canadian politics.
		Elections Canada defines a third party as "a person or group, other than a candidate, registered party or electoral district association of a registered party," and requires that they be registered if they spend $500 or more in election advertising expenses.

		In elections in nondemocratic regimes, frequently as many as 99% of the votes are cast for the official party candidates, whose names often are the only ones on the ballot.
		Elections were held in the Greek city-states in the 5th and 6th centuries B.C. Most public offices in Greece were filled by lot--a reflection of the belief in the equality of those who had citizenship.
		In a direct election each member of the electorate votes directly for the candidate of his or her choice, and, depending on the relevant rules, the candidate with a plurality or a majority of the popular vote is certified as the winner.

	Gotham Gazette -- Voting
		The election result that may have the greatest long-term impact to the city's electoral process was also the least anticipated.
		It requires a special election in the event of a vacancy to elect an interim mayor, and it gives the Council Speaker the role of presiding over council meetings, instead of the public advocate.
		And they felt the role of presiding over council meetings was a legislative leadership function, not the role of someone who could hold the job of mayor during a vacancy, until a special election might be held.

	The Non-Election of 2004 ::: International Endowment for Democracy
		One conclusion is that the elections conferred no mandate for anything, in fact, barely took place, in any serious sense of the term "election." That is by no means a novel conclusion.
		On the eve of the 2000 elections, about 75 percent of the electorate regarded it as a game played by rich contributors, party managers, and the PR industry, which trains candidates to project images and produce meaningless phrases that might win some votes.

		With election season about to kick into high gear (the Republican convention's later this month and the Democratic convention's in August) it's a good time to think about democracy and what it means.
		Various one-party states in Africa as well as socialist and communist states all describe themselves as "democratic," but that doesn't always mean their governments function like the government of the United States.

		By the next election the major party runs on a platform that some small party has been running on for decades.

		Several of the attacks appear to be in response to a new Greek-U.S. counter-terrorism pact, which gives the FBI the green light to work more closely with the Greek police in stamping out organised crime.
		Under the agreement, FBI agents operating in the country will be allowed greater access to Greek police inquests linked to terrorism, arms and drugs smuggling and cybercrime.
		Chrysochoides says the crime-fighting pact "is no panacea" but an expression of Athens' intent to eliminate "the climate of distrust" that has existed for decades between Greece and the U.S. around the issue of terrorism.

		They offer Greek Americans an excellent opportunity: (1) to voice their views on foreign policy issues of concern to them and (2) to seek to influence the views of those running for elective office.
		Following the 2000 census, redistricting increased the number of “safe” districts in the House which means “safely” in the hands of one party or the other.
		Because of the intense interest in the 2006 House and Senate races, Greek Americans have a much better opportunity to be heard to advance their views on foreign policy issues than previously.

		But while this possibility of content-based legislative motivation is a serious concern, the Court has generally held that it will not inquire into such matters, because it’s just too hard to determine why legislators really implemented a content-neutral restriction.
		Likewise, it’s true that limits on campaign contributions have the foreseeable effect of disproportionately restricting speech of a particular content—speech advocating the election of candidates.
		Buckley expressly rejected the argument that the contribution restrictions in the Federal Election Campaign Act should be judged under the standards applicable to content-neutral restrictions.
