National Party (Uruguay) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The National Party (Partido Nacional), also known as the White Party (Partido Blanco), is a major center-right political party in Uruguay, currently the major opposition party to the ruling Frente Amplio government. Together with the Colorado Party it is one of the two traditional groupings dating back to the nineteenth century. At the last legislative elections, 31 October 2004, the party won 36 seats out of 99 in the Chamber of Deputies and 11 seats out of 31 in the Senate. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/National_Party-Whites   (152 words)

Uruguay - Traditional Parties In general, however, the Colorado Party traditionally was associated with the city, labor unions, and secularist and "progressive" movements, whereas the National Party identified with the interior farming groups and the more religious and conservative groups. Uruguay was one of the few Latin American countries with two political groupings--the Colorado and National parties--as old as the country itself. The decline of the National Party in Montevideo was the most pronounced; it won none of the capital's twenty-three electoral zones in 1984 and made no headway against the Broad Front in 1989. countrystudies.us /uruguay/70.htm   (645 words)

Uruguay - The Consolidation of Political Democracy The National Party participated actively in political life, and although the Colorado Party was dominant, its electoral advantage was slight. The parties were divided into "traditional" (Colorado Party and National Party) and "minor," or "ideological," parties (UCU, PSU, and PCU). The former, by means of a 1910 law that allowed a double simultaneous vote for a party and a faction of the party (sub-lema), became "federations" of parties with different agendas and were thus able to attract followers from all sectors of society. countrystudies.us /uruguay/13.htm   (676 words)

Uruguay History & Uruguay Culture iExplore.com The liberally inclined Colorado Party and the right-wing National Party are commonly known as ‘Reds’ and ‘Whites’ or Blancos (by virtue of their once distinctive hatbands, rather than the color of their politics). A principal and, in many ways, parallel characteristic of Uruguay’s domestic politics is the deep schism between the two major political parties, both of which can trace their origins to the early years of independence.

NotiSur - Latin American Political Affairs; August 26, 1994 Accordingly, the National Guard and Treasury Police were formally dissolved in early 1993, and the demobilization of the PN was to take place progressively over a three year period, finally concluding in March 1995 (see NotiSur, 05/27/94). The opposition parties claim that the new pact reflects agreement among them to put aside their differences for the good of the public, in order to put the brakes on Duran Ballen's unpopular economic policies and force the government to place more emphasis on social development programs. Meanwhile, the opposition parties and other organizations have attempted to undermine the government's efforts, claiming that it is a waste of time since Congress can and will consider the proposed reforms regardless of the outcome at the polls. ssdc.ucsd.edu /news/notisur/h94/notisur.19940826.html   (2996 words)
