		Ben Ali swept the polls with 94.48 per cent of the vote, while his Democratic Constitutional Rally Party won an overwhelming parliamentary majority: 152 seats as opposed to the 37 seats distributed among the so-called "happy" opposition parties -- political groups in cahoots with the government.
		The 57-year-old philosophy professor's campaign initiative was having such an impact that Tunisian authorities confiscated his party's electoral manifesto and barred its parliamentary candidates from access to public television, in response to which they staged a protest demonstration that marched through the capital until it was intercepted before reaching the Ministry of Interior.
		Meanwhile, PUP member Rashid Khashana, who had withdrawn his candidacy for the parliament three days before the polls in protest against electoral irregularities, said that until then his party had put its faith in the integrity of the electoral process.

	Galloway Takes Road Of 'Popular Unity' :: The Socialist 8 November 2003
		Galloway called for a "popular unity movement that unites the different strands of the left" and brings together "all progressive forces in the country".
		NOW, INSTEAD of appealing to that constituency, Galloway appears to have retreated to calling for a "popular unity" movement, which, as far as could be deduced from last Wednesday's meeting, would not have a socialist programme but would instead stand for what John Rees of the Socialist Workers' Party (SWP) called a "collective society".
		The Socialist Party will take part in any discussions on this new initiative because it is possible that it could also play a positive role, but this is dependent on a number of factors.

	Communist party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lenin, who was the leader of the Bolshevik ('majority') faction argued that the revolutionary party should be a well-knit vanguardist party with a centralized political command and a strict cadre policy whereas the Menshevik ('minority') faction argued that the party should be a broad-based mass movement.
		In practice in many countries where communist parties were in government, the flow of power often became the reverse: the Politburo became self-perpetuating, and controlled the composition of the Central Committee, which in turn controlled the party congresses.
		As the membership of the communist party itself was to be limited to active cadres, there was a need for networks of seperate organizations to mobilize mass support for the party.

	Trotsky on the Popular Front
		The German catastrophe and the subsequent lack of dissent from the Communist parties internationally had led Trotsky to conclude that the Comintern was dead as a force for revolution and that a new international would be required.
		It was precisely the role of the workers leaders and the Popular Front which led the workers to defeat, and led to the eventual triumph of fascism.
		The party of the proletariat was thus faced with a choice between going with the peasant masses or with the liberal bourgeoisie.
