	Canada Election 2004 Voter Guide: Political Parties - New Democratic Party (NDP)
		Until a few days into the election, the party also had an "Issues" page that set's out the party's (much more frankly-worded) stance on issues ranging from taxation to gays and lesbians (some text remains, but the page is incomplete or in the process of being removed as of May 25, 2004).
		The New Democratic Party is proud to be associated with the democratic socialist parties of the world and to share the struggle for peace, international co-operation and the abolition of poverty."

		If candidates selected by the party bosses gained election, especially to senior offices in city governments, they become beholden to the bosses; the bosses would then require the office-holders whom they effectively controlled to make decisions that enriched the bosses by corrupt means (for instance, by the unmerited award of municipal contracts).
		A policy of quotas for fls, women, and youth was the main plank of the reforms of nomination procedures in the Democratic Party of the U.S. recommended after the party's disastrous and violent presidential nominating convention in Chicago in 1968.
		For instance, a device intended to guarantee more female candidates in winnable constituencies within the British Labour Party has been for the national organization to dictate to certain local Labour organizations that they must choose from a short list of applicants, all of whom must be women.

	THE NATIONMASTER NEWSLETTER - MAY 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In the United Kingdom, the Labour Party and its leader Tony Blair have won a third consecutive majority in the May 5th elections, marking the first time in the Labour Party's history that it has been re-elected twice.
		Blair and the Labour candidates campaigned on economic issues, in light of the fact that the U.K's growth is higher and unemployment lower than many other European Union countries, while their opponents concentrated on the chain of events that led to Blair committing military support for the United States-led war in Iraq.
		Under the U.K.'s first-past-the-post electoral system, the country is divided into districts or ridings with candidates from various political parties and/or independents campaigning to represent the constituents of that geographical area in the House of Commons.

	MyDD :: In Britain, Labour Looks Poised for Victory
		Hard as it may be to believe, with only two days before the general election, polling data in the UK currently makes it look as though Labour will cruise to another huge victory.
		Realistically, the worst-case scenario for Labour is probably something like 34%, to 33% for the Tories, to 24% for the Liberal Democrats to 9% for other parties.
		In the 1960s or so, the Conservatives selected as their leader Lord Home, who as a peer was ineligible to speak in the House of Commons, so I think a sitting MP in a safe seat agreed to retire (probably in return for a peerage) to get him straight into parliament at a byelection.
