		Party bosses close to Mr Chavez said they were sure the leftwing bloc in parliament had taken all the 167 seats in the national assembly.

		Briefing European Union lawmakers on a Brussels summit he hosted last week, he said the bloc could consider additions to the text or new ways of interpreting it as a possible solution to the institutional limbo.
		He declined to be more specific, but suggested, for example, "that we should highlight elements contributing to a European social model," a key demand of leftwing critics who say the constitution is too liberal.
		The constitution, designed to prevent decision-making gridlock in the expanding European bloc, was left in tatters by its rejection in referendums in two of the EU's original founder states.

	Global Insight // Same-Day Analysis
		While the left-wing bloc will now reflect on its future in opposition, the immediate task for Reinfeldt is to form a government from his traditionally divided coalition partners.
		One issue intentionally left out of the election campaign was immigration, but with the Scandinavian country facing the same challenges as other European nations over the treatment of migrant workers, refugees and asylum seekers, immigration will definitely be a key priority for the new government.
		Persson’s ten years as prime minister had begun to weigh heavily on the government; although credited with cementing the country's welfare policy and maintaining enviable economic growth, there is no doubt that a measure of complacency had begun to affect the Social Democrats after nearly 90 years of political domination.

		One party operative claims there are upwards of 10 Liberals - some from Bloc Québécois - who would join with Harper if he were to call for a free vote on reversing same-sex marriage.

	THE BLANKET * Index: Current Articles
		My period of activity coincided with the beginnings of the rightward shift although, at the time I joined, it appeared that leftwing politics were dominant in both major wings of the movement (party and army).
		While the republican movement had never regarded the Soviet bloc as a model, the collapse of that bloc had the effect of widely discrediting any form of collectivist-oriented politics, including genuine revolutionary socialism.
		The FSLN, under pressure from Washington and the demise of the Soviet bloc, had shifted rightwards, as had the FMLN in El Salvador, and similar groups elsewhere in central America.

	Russia, Politics, Duma 2007, Parties - JRL 8-15-06 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The process of bloc formation is “one more project by the presidential administration to avoid a situation when there will be only Communists and United Russia in the State Duma 2007,” senior researcher of the Sociology Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Prudnik says in a talk with REGNUM.
		This bloc will overcome the 7% barrier and will fully cover the whole electoral sector of the Liberal Democratic Party, who will manage to get into the parliament only if supported by the presidential structures,” says Prudnik.
		If a big left-wing bloc is formed, “there will be one more intrigue”: how to cover the Right-Liberal electorate: “Even altogether, the Union of Right-Wing Forces, Yabloko and other right-wing parties will hardly poll even 3% of votes.

	Buchanan Receives Fulani Endorsement (washingtonpost.com)
		Thursday, November 11, 1999 12:04 PM Lenora Fulani, whose roots run deep in radical, leftwing politics, today endorsed the Reform Party candidacy of conservative Patrick J. Buchanan in one of the most bizarre political marriages in recent memory.
		When Fulani, a perennial third party candidate in her own right, joined up with the Reform Party she brought with her a bloc of hardcore supporters.
		And the major benefit she will bring Buchanan is the ability to use her supporters to gather the signatures required to get him on the ballot in the 30 states that do not give the Reform Party a guaranteed line on the ballot.

		This is despite the compromise unveiled last week by Beck falling short of the 49.9 per cent that Merkel and her supporters have argued for.

		The reasons appear to be based in part on leftwing ideology and in part due to business reasons.
		Many of those are funded by leftwing foundations and are not grassroots groups.

	SOUTH AMERICA: Mercosur Counter-Summit Urges Socially-Conscious Integration
		Thus, two large gatherings of social organisations from the bloc's member countries were held this week, and some groups took part in both, even though the venues were separated by a distance of over 10 kilometres.
		He said Mercosur should take advantage of the fact that several of its members play a strong leadership role in the region and that the left-leaning governments in power in the bloc see eye to eye on many issues, in order to work towards the redistribution of income.
		In the opinion of the charismatic and controversial Venezuelan leader, the bloc should take a stronger focus on social issues -- a viewpoint that was encouraging to the social organisations that poured into Córdoba this week.

		While Chavez promotes the regional trading bloc MERCOSUR, the major members Brazil and Argentina are increasing their trade relations outside the region.
		In effect there is a bloc of neo-liberal regimes arrayed against Chavez's anti-imperialist policies and mass social movements.

		The Tabaré Vázquez administration chose a solitary path towards a bilateral agreement, in spite of the displeasure expressed by Uruguay's partners in Mercosur, like Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela, which prefer trade integration with the rest of the world to be channelled through the regional bloc.
		Astori asked Mercosur for greater flexibility towards bilateral treaties with countries outside the region, as a way for the smaller countries of the bloc to overcome the asymmetries, but his proposal was rejected, especially by Argentina which considered it to be "harmful."
		Washington appears to have found a way to divide the bloc that, because of its leaders' general political and ideological consensus, has become more of a threat than ever to U.S. plans for a single free trade zone in the Americas.

The story was headlined, "Stacked Warehouse Shelters Vintage Guns." It was widely quoted to ridicule the charge that the military build-up on Grenada was serious.

	Tom Hayden Laments Jack Kerouac Rejected Leftwing Political Agenda \| NewsBusters.org
		Having set the stage for the '60s, Kerouac seems to have gone missing which at first I thought odd, but it made perfect sense because he defined himself as a loner on the margins.
		The question I always wanted to ask Jack Kerouac was why the road, finally, had to be so very solitary, so empty of social action as a form of human solidarity against the presence of suffering and coming of death which so preoccupied him.
		Too bad, Tom, that Jack Kerouac was too much of an individualist to squeeze himself into the leftwing ideological mold that you had so desperately wanted him to enter.
