  Single or Multi-Party System?
They thus concluded that only the single party system in which all the various tendencies in their societies are forced to compete within a single defined arena, could guarantee national integration, avoid the fissiparous tendencies inherent in opposition politics and harness most effectively the energies of their peoples for the purpose of nation building.
The liberation of Uganda from Amin's rule in March 1979 had ended a long phase of brutality in Ugandan politics without resolving the underlying questions of the means and ends of reconstituting state power.
At the initial stages, reconstituting the democratic structures involved the use of appointive and co-optive methods that guaranteed that a significant element of the opposition was brought on board.

 Foreign Affairs - Liberalism and Democracy: Can't Have One Without the Other - Marc F. Plattner
Democracy is flourishing; constitutional liberalism is not." Drawing upon this distinction, Zakaria recommends that Western policymakers not only increase their efforts to foster constitutional liberalism but diminish their support for elections, and suggests that "liberal autocracies" are preferable to illiberal democracies.
Liberal democracy-which is what most people mean today when they speak of democracy-is indeed an interweaving of two different elements, one democratic in a stricter sense and the other liberal.
Starting from the democratic side, elections would seem to require the guarantee of certain civil liberties-the freedoms of speech, association, and assembly-if they are to be genuinely free and fair.

Ostensibly, it pits two radical nationalist parties in the current parliament—the Serbian Radical Party (SRS), which is the largest single grouping, and the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), the party of former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic—against the so-called “democratic bloc” of anti-Milosevic parties.
The SRS may well emerge as the largest party in the new parliament but is unlikely to be able to form a government, even in coalition with the SPS.
Although under most plausible post-election scenarios the democratic parties seem likely to have a parliamentary majority, of uncertain size, the creation of a government between them is unlikely to be straightforward.

 The Outer Limits- by Justin Raimondo
Indeed, the whole Family Security Matters operation is described by the liberal watchdog group Media Matters as a "front group" for Gaffney's Center for Security Policy (CSP), the hardest of the hard-line neocon propaganda outfits.
The Family Security Matters crowd is at the outer limits of neocon kookery, but, I submit, they are indicative of an emerging trend: as the War Party suffers more losses, it tends to get a little crazy, and this outburst isn't an isolated one by any means.
More and more, we'll be seeing the mask slip, little by little, until the true faces of the cretins who want to destroy our republic are revealed in all their ugliness.

The party's resolve, announced yesterday by party chairman David Musila, finally puts to rest any doubts that affiliates of the ruling National Rainbow Coalition were still reading from the same script.
At the rallies, the leaders explained enlisting members did not signal the party's resolve to ditch Narc, but was aimed at strengthening parties affiliated to the ruling coalition.
Mr Musila reiterated the party's decision to nominate its candidates for constituency seats a year before the General Election to avoid last-minute confusion and acrimony.

 International Crisis Group - Serbia's New Constitution: Democracy Going Ba   (Site not responding. Last check: )
It was a victory for Kostunica’s Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) and his ideological allies, Milosevic’s Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) and the Serbian Radical Party (SRS) of war crimes indictee Vojislav Seselj.
The government, however, still wants to delay new elections as long as possible, partially in the hope this would cause the international community to delay the Kosovo status process out of concern an independence decision could bring the SRS to power.
Kostunica and most of the governing coalition parties, as well as their supporters in the SRS and SPS, appear ideologically inclined more towards paternalistic, illiberal authoritarianism than Western liberal democracy.
