	Turkey - Democratic Left Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Democratic Left Party, known by the Turkish acronym DSP (for Demokratik Sol Partisi), was the smallest parliamentary party in January 1995.
		Because the party received almost 11 percent of the vote in the 1991 elections, DSP leader Bülent Ecevit and six other party officials took seats in the National Assembly.
		When the DSP was founded in November 1985--with Ecevit's wife serving as chair because he remained barred from political activity--Ecevit made known his low opinion of the SHP, which also presented itself as the heir to the CHP, and its leader, Erdal Inönü.

		With the demise of the Whig party in the election of 1852 and the emergence of the sectional, antislavery Republican party in 1854 (succeeding the Free-Soil party), the Democrats remained the sole national party.
		At the Democratic Convention of 1860 the party split, Northern Democrats nominating Douglas, and the Southern Democrats choosing John C. Breckinridge, thus facilitating the victory of Abraham Lincoln.
		Although the Democrats retained their solid majorities in Congress (except for the Senate in 1980, 1982, and 1984), the victorious national coalition built by Nixon was sustained by Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984 and by George H. Bush in 1988.

		Their policy is more likely to be that of members of the old Workers Party, who entered bodies like the state broadcasting service, newspapers, labor unions, etc. Although they often rose to significant positions, they did not thereby introduce radical policies into the organ izations but rather accommodated themselves to what was already there.
		Democratic Left, which is competing against the Irish Labour Party for the title of the real left in Irish politics, will find its plans for social welfare caught within the constraints of a Finance Department presided over by a Labour minister.
		All the parties involved will have to face the electorate sooner or later and answer or having created a coalition with individuals who should be political opponents, with far different outlooks, philosophies and ideologies.

		The devolution of the Democrats from the Cold War party of Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy to the progressive party of Edward Kennedy and John F. Kerry has long been in progress, and is not quite complete.
		But the Democrats' final transformation into a party of the left in the European mode may not be far off.
		All of this casts doubt on the Shadow Party’s claim to be aloof from the electoral struggle and therefore exempt from FEC regulation.

		NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY [New Democratic party] (NDP), Canadian political party, founded in 1961 when the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) reorganized itself and entered into close ties with Canadian labor unions, especially the Canadian Labor Congress (CLC).

		The elections of 1993, 1997, and 2000 saw its representation in Ottawa severely reduced, but 2004 and 2006 reversed that trend (though the NDP remained the smallest party in parliament).

		The Italian party—once the biggest communist party in the democratic world—renamed itself in 1991 as the Party of the Democratic Left.
		The Left in India, which is almost entirely Marxist, has been slow to adjust to the changes that have come about in the world over the past 15 years, slower than most communist parties outside of North Korea and Cuba.
		Originally, the term left came from the seating arrangements in the legislature during the French Revolution, when those who opposed the monarchy sat on the left side of the assemblies, while those who supported the Ancien Regime sat on the right.

	Political Orphans How the Democratic Party Left Traditional Believers Behind by James Hitchcock
		Henceforth, the Democratic Party would also be the party of the intellectuals, as it took on a new glamour as the party of challenging ideas and bold programs in a Washington no longer merely a sleepy Southern city but an intellectual mecca.
		In 1972 the Democratic candidate for president, George McGovern, bristled at the charge that he favored "acid, amnesty, and abortion." But every informed person was aware that the New Left was at least as interested in the "social issues" as they were in their stated political goals.
		The present ideology of the Democratic Party is the trickling down to the level of electoral politics of the principles laid out by the Supreme Court in 1947-1948 -- that religion is a dangerous and divisive force in society and must be restrained.

	A Unified Left?
		It was hoped by some that the merger last January between the Labour Party and Democratic Left would create the dynamic in which a unified "left", represented by the new Labour Party, would see rapid gains.
		DL abandoned the socialism of the Workers Party (which has never really recovered from the defections) and moved towards the center of the political spectrum, becoming a sort of social democratic party.
		The leader of the Labour Party over the last couple of years, Ruairi Quinn, was a strong supporter of the merger idea and moved quickly along with the DL's leader, Proinsias De Rossa, to carry it out.

		Against it, the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (CPBM) is widely perceived to occupy an ideologically extreme position on the left of the political spectrum,symbolized by the fact that, alone among the successor parties in the region, it chose to retain its old name (Wightman, 1993; Ishiyama, 1995;Mansfeldova and Kitschelt, 1995).
		In Slovakia, by contrast, the most powerful party to emerge from Public Against Violence, 1989, was Vladimir Meciar's Movement for a Democratic Slovakia, which aligned itself not only to greater Slovak independence but to a much more cautious programme of economic reform.
		The communist-successor Slovak Party of the Democratic Left (PDL) has fared reasonably well over two elections under these conditions while presenting an image of a moderate and modernizing movement (Butorova and Butora, 1995;Ishiyama, 1995).

		The Wall Street and super rich had monopolized power in the Democratic Party arguing that in a Capitalist Democracy the voters, the grassroots and public didn’t count, only those with a ability to write big checks counted, as the elections were won or lost on grounds of paid TV and newspaper campaigns.
		Unless half of the top political posts of the Democratic Party are reserved for the Netroots and political bloggers, the Democratic Party would face a demise or decline in the new age of Blogosphere as Internet blogs replaced expensive TV and newspaper advertisements as more efficient way to mobilize voters and grassroots supporters.
		Democratic party would be doomed in elections 2006 and 2008 if Democratic Party failed to replace the elite leadership selected by the corrupt coterie to the enterprising young leadership thrown upward by the Netroots Democrats and Blogosphere Democrats.

	The Transcript Online -- From the left: Democratic party needs more leftist supporters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Republican Party has not demonstrated a commitment to protecting the rights of any of these groups; in fact, Republicans have consistently resisted legislation that would grant equal rights to anyone who is not rich, white, male and Christian.
		I am disappointed with the recent Democratic shift away from the left; however, this is largely a response to the success of the Republican Party in recent decades, namely Reagan’s inexplicable victories in the 1980s, and the strength of the Christian Coalition.
		In other words, the Democratic Party is the only major party that will listen to us, and in order to achieve anything we must work through one of the major parties.

		Giants of the Democratic Party such as O'Neil Roosevelt and Rayburn were responsible for much of this stuff and for the party's almost unchallenged 40-year rule in the house where all spending comes from.
		The Democratic Party has reached the point where their main fundraising is from either narrow groups with radical (and sometimes conflicting) agendas and people of great individual wealth who wish to impose their own Utopia on the "ignorant" masses.

		I likened my situation to a 21st-century version of Fannie Lou Hamer’s experience with the Democratic Party in the mid-1960s, when her delegation from Mississippi wasn’t permitted to be seated at the Democratic national convention in 1964--because the segregationist wing of the Democratic Party said they would walk out.

		As Americans and as Democrats, rather than leaving either politics in general or the Democratic party in particular, we are making our cases to the electorate, and to our fellow members of the Democratic Party.

		Ironically, the left's strategy is consciously modeled on the campaign that right-wing activists mounted to take over the Republican Party, explained Robert Borosage, the director of the Campaign for America's Future, at the "What We Stand For" conference.

		There is NO WAY the Democratic Party, either on the national or state level, should be supporting this man. I know I have a lot of company in stating that, until the various Democrat-related fund-raising arms (DLC, DSCC) unequivocally renounce Joe Lieberman and his tactics of fear, they won't see one more dime from me.
		Responsible Democratic leaders should be doing all they can to discourage this divisive and selfish action, and should not be putting our party's prestige or resources behind someone who plans to run against the Democratic nominee.
		And the national Democratic Party should be giving him no quarters or dollars, for that matter, until and unless he wins the real Democratic party nomination for Senate.
