	NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY : Encyclopedia Entry
		The New Democratic Party (NDP; Nouveau Parti démocratique in French) is a political party in Canada with a social democratic philosophy that contests elections at both the federal and provincial levels.

		Parties in presidential systems are sometimes less structured, and failure to vote with one’s party does not threaten to bring down the government (though it might damage or even ruin one's political career).
		The logic cited by the movement is that political parties in Uganda have historically contributed to regional, religious and ethnic cleavages and violence, and that the main opposition parties are internally undemocratic.

	'Japan's Tony Blair' brings hope to lagging opposition - Asia - Pacific - International Herald Tribune
		Analysts said changes in both the LDP and the Democrats are pushing Japan closer to a new style of democracy, in which two big parties compete to find policies with the broadest appeal.
		Democratic lawmakers and analysts agree that Koizumi won by focusing on a single issue: slashing the size of government and in particular Japan's huge postal system, which includes what is effectively the world's largest bank.
		Those regrets led the party to overcome opposition to Maehara from the party's labor-union-dominated left wing and elect him by a narrow margin over veteran leader Naoto Kan. Backers say Maehara is the party's best chance to appeal to general voters and avoid being knocked into political irrelevance by Koizumi's rejuvenated LDP.
