	Labour Party (Netherlands) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Partij van de Arbeid (PvdA), or "Labour Party", is a social democratic political party in the Netherlands.
		The PvdA was formed on February 9, 1946, as a merger of three parties: the socialist SDAP, the minor left-liberal VDB and the marginal social-protestant CDU.
		In the social-democratic tradition, he was more a national leader than a party man. He strongly defended the membership of NATO in spite of its unpopular nuclear weapons policy, which earned him the title "Atom bomb Joop" in party circles.

	CIA and the Labour Party - part 3: How CIA Money Took the Teeth Out of Socialism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The established social democratic parties of Europe had been destroyed by the dictators, while in America all that remained of the socialist movement was a handful of sects whose members were numbered in hundreds.
		Labour's rank-and-file, however, still clung to their grassroots Socialism, and Gaitskell's obvious preferences for the small coterie of cultured intellectuals and visiting foreigners who met at his house in Frognal Gardens, Hampstead, alienated the Party faithful, and gave added bitterness to the internecine quarrels that were to follow Labour's defeat in the 1959 election.
		For those Labour leaders who, in all innocence, built their careers in the seminars of the Congress for Cultural Freedom and the columns of Encounter or the New Leader, rather than in the trade union branch or on the Conference floor, are now feeling the lack of a mass base within the Party.

		In the 1998 general election, it became the second largest party in the Netherlands with 25% of the vote.
		The party was founded in 1966 from dissident liberals, social democrats and non-partisans who urged the necessity of radical reforms.

	RNW: Dutch troops to stay in Iraq
		Of the main parties, the opposition Labour Party is the only one yet to decide on the continued presence of Dutch troops in Iraq.
		The party´s spokesman on foreign affairs said they had learned from the fall of the Bosnian Muslim enclave of Sreberenica, where Dutch peacekeeping troops were unable to prevent a massacre, and that a UN resolution has little to do with the safety of military personnel on the ground.
		Labour Party support is not strictly needed to get the plan approved, but it´s highly unusual for such an important decision to be taken without the backing of the main opposition party.

		Labour is enjoying a comeback in the polls after receiving a thrashing last year that ended eight years of power.
		Established parties in the Netherlands -- renowned for its liberal attitude on prostitution, soft drugs, euthanasia and gay marriage -- have absorbed much of Fortuyn's taboo-busting agenda on crime and immigration to win back voters they lost last year.

		The answer is we as Labour members are going to have to make our party and government listen and for a start honour their commitment to a referendum on electoral reform.
		The great bulk of this subsidy is distributed in a fashion that benefits the main parties and weakens the relative capacity of smaller parties and independent candidates to build their profile.
		Triangulation is mainly a result of 'first past the post' which forces parties to focus on only the already popular point of view (shaped largely by the press which is owned by a few rich men who dictate their rightwing editorial policy) and ignore any controversial viewpoint.

		New Labour is an interim period, a kind of purgatory, before final absolution to the place where all parties go to die: corrupt liberalism.
		The seeds of another party have been sown for a long time: that party will add the environment to the old needs of peace, bread, social justice, disarmament, nuclear disarmament, gender and racial equality.

		According to the new advertisement, the Labour Election Pledge Cards, used every election since 1999, to outline Labour's Election Pledges, as signed by Helen Clark whilst she is electioneering, have absolutely nothing to do with the election.
		The Labour Party came up with the bright idea of making pledges, printing them on small cards (they didn't need big cards for some reason) as a key part of their election strategy.

		In the Netherlands, as elsewhere, liberalisation, privatisation and market-working have in the meantime become the new mantra.
		Changes which under the rule of Christian Democrat Ruud Lubbers (who formed governments first in coalition with right wing liberals, the VVD, and later with the Labour Party) were tentatively under way, were taken further, and with greater energy, by the so-called Purple Coalition of Labour, VVD and left liberals D66.
		On the international level the Netherlands should encourage recognition of the fundamental principles of human dignity, equality and solidarity, engaging in the struggle against worldwide social inequality, poverty, underdevelopment, war and other forms of violence.
