	Portuguese legislative election, 1975 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Portuguese legislative election of 1975 took place on April 25, exactly one year after the Carnation Revolution and was the first free legislative election in fifty years, the first in the new democratic regime created after the revolution which made the turnout the highest ever.
		The Social Democratic Party was the second most voted party, defending a project that it would soon abandon, the social-democracy becoming the major right-wing party in the country a few years after.
		The Portuguese Communist Party achieved a surprisingly low voting, considering the overwhelming support in the south of the country and the radical turn to the left of the revolutionary process after the failed fascist coup, one month before.

		The Portuguese began to trade with the island of Timor in the early 16th century and colonized it in mid-century.
		Presidential elections scheduled for 2005 are unlikely to bring change since the opposition remains weak, divided, and financially dependent on the current regime.
		Following the elections of a reformist president and Majlis in the late 1990s, attempts to foster political reform in response to popular dissatisfaction have floundered as conservative politicians have prevented reform measures from being enacted, increased repressive measures, and consolidated their control over the government.

	Portuguese legislative election, 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Portuguese legislative election of 2005 took place on February 20.
		These elections were called after the decision of President Jorge Sampaio on November 30, 2004 to dissolve the Parliament as an answer to the political instability caused by the government led by Pedro Santana Lopes (PSD) in coalition with the PP.
		Santana Lopes had become Prime-Minister after Durão Barroso left the country in order to become President of the European Commission in a decision that divided the country, because many Portuguese were expecting that the Socialist President Jorge Sampaio would dissolve parliament and call a legislative election.

	Wilson - Volume 11 Number 3
		The real drama in the elections, therefore, was how the authorities would seek to construct a majority in the Rada, or parliament, under conditions where the use of "administrative resources" alone could not be relied on to have the desired effect.
		All parties or blocs standing in the elections publicized the first five names on their party lists, but one did not have to look much further down to find sponsors who were rarely young or female or enjoying alternative, planet-friendly lifestyles.
		The party's 2002 slogan "choose life" was no match for the 1998 "politicians are all demagogues." Moreover, the party had alienated too many of its original, pre-1998, environmentalist voters and now faced too much competition for an inherently limited market-namely, political naifs who were still likely to vote.
