		The universal acceptance of elections as a tool for selecting representatives in modern democracies is in sharp contrast with the practice in the democratic archetype, ancient Athens, where elections were considered an oligarchic institution and where most political offices were filled using sortition.
		When elections are called, politicians and their supporters attempt to influence policy by competing directly for the votes of constituents in what are called campaigns.
		In order for democratic elections to be fair and competitive, opposition parties and candidates must enjoy the rights to freedom of speech, assembly, and movement as necessary to voice their criticisms of the government openly and to bring alternative policies and candidates to the voters.

	Rise and fall of the New Zealand Alliance Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Its three ‘general principles’ — more government intervention in opposition to extreme neo-liberalism, disillusionment with the ‘political system and culture’ created by the big capitalist parties, and the need to get rid of the first-past-the-post (FFP) electoral system — for a time could generally unite the disparate groups and even mean electoral breakthroughs.
		In the 1999 general election the Labour Party won 38.7%, boosted by Clarke’s limited pledges to increase spending on health and education and to reverse some of the Nationals worst neo-liberal policies.
		For new left formations to succeed they must first and foremost put forward a socialist programme attractive to the poor, to those in work, to women, to youth and to the most oppressed, and also to the small business people and farmers who face ruin under capitalism.

	Kate Sheppard and Woman Suffrage in New ZealandWomen's History Month 2003 by Sunshine for Women
		Further, the native pride New Zealanders embraced in the achievements of their small state and a wish to startle the world with their courage in political experiment may have contributed to early suffrage for women.
		In 1877, all New Zealand women granted the vote for local school boards; in 1881, for liquor licensing committees; and in 1885, for hospital and charitable aid boards.
		In short, the weakness of traditional conservatism, the responsible use of the ballot in other elections, the surge of radical thought, the tolerance of woman's claims, and the pride of New Zealanders in challenging tradition all coincided in the 1890 to aid passage of woman suffrage for the national legislature.
