  The National Democratic Party, The National Republican Party excerpted from the book Indispensible Enemies The ...
These boss-controlled units of the national party are united by a powerful common bond of interest-they wish, at the very least, to remain boss-controlled parties, and they share a common need to ensure that no one will win the Presidential nomination who will not protect their organization and its power.
Party politics is invariably circular: the ruling bloc of the national Democratic party must perpetually use its power to protect that power.
Political men who are thus accountable cannot be reliable servants of a party's interests, for politicians, like other men, cannot readily serve two masters, in this instance their party and their constituents.

Since 1965, discontent with the major political parties and erosion of party discipline have led to the establishment of change-oriented parties like Democrats 66 (Democraten 66— D66), which pushes for greater democratic accountability, political transparency, and involvement of the citizen in the policy process.
As no single party commands a majority in the States-General, the governing cabinet is a coalition of various party representatives, according to their numerical strength.

By 1997, the group of women had grown to 20 and that year the party changed its statutes; from that moment on the women were not allowed to be a member, or hold office in the party committees.
The SGP is the oldest Dutch political party still in existence and it has been represented in the lower house of parliament continuously since 1922 and in past decades with only two or three of the 150 seats (two at the moment).
Although the party strictly follows the teachings of the bible, the SGP is still in favour of a separation of Church and State.

 POLITICAL PARTIES - LABOUR PARTY - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
On the one hand were the “moderates”, represented by the trades councils and their political party, the Independent Political Labour League, reformed and renamed in 1910 as the New Zealand Labour Party and reorganised again in 1912 as the United Labour Party.
That was the change in character and structure which overtook the party partially as a consequence of the introduction in 1936 of compulsory trade unionism.
It is a tribute to the fundamental strength and loyalty of the party that, in such disarray, it still waged a campaign of respectable proportions in the 1949 general election.

 The Green Party - criticism | libcom.org   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The Green Party recognises that ecological damage is the result of a continually expanding economy, in which economic activity is the measure of wealth, ignoring quality of life and ecological impact.
Rather than reforming capitalism, the only way to "devolve economic power to the lowest appropriate level" is to have real economic democracy, with decisions taken by producers and consumers together in federated directly democratic assemblies.
The left-wing of the party (the "Fundis"), which were most concerned with grassroots direct action and radical social policy has largely left the organisation, leaving it to professional politicians and 'moderates'.

The response of the party and its membership to the December congress continued to confirm our analysis that this congress was a significant turning point in the degeneration of the SLP (see ‘Opportunity Squandered’, MB6).
The politics of the reformist parties who claim to stand for the working class mean they cannot in fact defend our interests.
A bourgeois workers’ party in coalition with the bourgeoisie makes no pretence of standing for the workers as a class but rather stands for ‘class unity’ (which is always in the interests of the ruling class).

while i identify closely with the libertarian party, our ideas share alot in common, i disagree with many points of their national party platform.
reformed democracy can be correctly viewed as moderate libertarianism, as my primary concern is increasing political, economic, and personal freedom.
it will no doubt be a continual project, and as i write about a particular issue, i may or may not incorporate my own view on the issue into the overall party platform, which over time will begin to accurately reflect all of my personal positions.

 Election Resources on the Internet: Elections to the Dutch Tweede Kamer (House of Representatives)
Newly-formed parties, or existing parties that failed to obtain at least one House seat in the preceding general election are required to submit a deposit, which is forfeited in the event the party fails to poll at least one-half of one percent (0.5%) of all valid votes.
House of Representatives seats are distributed on a nationwide basis among party lists that obtain a national electoral quota, calculated by dividing the total number of valid votes by 150, the number of House seats; this quota is equivalent to two-thirds of one percent of the vote, or approximately 0.67%.
However, a 1956 constitutional reform which increased the size of the House from 100 to 150 - thus lowering the electoral quota from one percent of the vote to two-thirds of one percent - made it easier for smaller parties to secure parliamentary representation, which in turn led to increased legislative fragmentation.

 Betterhumans - A Transhuman Political Party
I volunteered on behalf of the Green Party during the recent Canadian federal election, but I was nonetheless dissatisfied with the platforms espoused by the the major parties.
But what usually happens, when an alternative party makes a major showing in a federal election, is that one or both of the two main parties select and merge the popular political ideas of the alternative party into their own ideology.
I think for a lot of the parties you describe, having their position co-opted by one of the two ruling parties would be a success in and of itself.

The party eventually fades because farmers' situation improved in the late 1890s and because their political agenda was assumed by the major parties.

At the lead are members of the movement in party and SA uniforms, followed by pastors.
With both its faith and its obedience, with both its message and its order, it has to testify in the midst of the sinful world, as the Church of pardoned sinners, that it belongs to him alone and lives and may live by his comfort and under his direction alone, in expectation of his appearing.
At Barmen, this emerging "Confessing Church" adopted a declaration drafted by Reformed theologian Karl Barth and Lutheran theologian Hans Asmussen, which expressly repudiated the claim that other powers apart from Christ could be sources of God's revelation.

NATIVO LOPEZ is president of the Mexican American Political Association (MAPA), one of the oldest and most respected political organizations representing Latinos, Chicanos and Mexican people in the U.S. Earlier this year, he chose to change his party affiliation from the Democratic Party to the Green Party.
It is an unresponsive party to the needs of the majorities and is driven by white male millionaires and their political consultants, who only seek to impose their political will on the majorities (including white workers)--and only support those candidates of color who they can control and manipulate for their own economic interest.

 Freedom Party International - Consent 2 - March-April 1988
Members of the Dutch Reformed Church who are vigorous supporters of Right to Life and Campaign Life, as well as other fundamentalist Christians (with typically large families), were quite eager to support the FCP with both votes and money.
It is ironic that the party whose major beef with the other political parties is "the lack of moral leadership which threatens life and the quality of life" uses a completely false application of the word "morality" and never even takes the time to objectively define what it means when using the term.
Just as any new political party of lobby group would like to develop enough electoral clout to push the traditional parties into adopting their platforms, the FCP's influence will be felt by other parties, particularly when that influence translates directly into votes.

i think that had the 1/4-1/3 support liberals still enjoy in the west, and a similar measure of support for conservatives in the middle, actually meant something in terms of proportional representation, parties wouldn't be so quick to ignore different groups of people and entire regions, in favour of their version of a national consensus.
for a while they were nothing more than a western regional party, taking their turn with the bloc as the government opposition while the liberals assumed occupancy of the centre.

This party, which is calling for a strong State, an increase in taxes on the highest incomes, the capping of the salaries received by the Chief Executives of the big companies and an increase in the allocations granted to the poorest members of society succeeded in rallying the protest votes to its name.
