	Leadership Convention
		While leadership conventions have compensated to a very substantial degree for the regional imbalances of the parliamentary parties, they have at the same time effectively ended the caucus's monopoly over the selection of a party leader, with a curious result.
		The 1983 and 1984 contests, together with the Tory convention of 1976 and the Liberal one of 1990, had gained widespread attention at the time for their often bitter organizational rivalries among candidates, stacked delegate selection meetings in constituencies, and dirty tricks at the riding level.
		At the 1995 Progressive Conservative convention, at which Jean Charest was unopposed in his bid to succeed Kim Campbell, the Tories approved a proposal whereby future leaders would be chosen by a direct vote of all party members in the entire country.

	Berkeley In the 70s
		The November 1976 election was primarily about a single contested race for Alameda County Supervisor. BCA was part of a broad progressive coalition supporting John George of Oakland, whose opponent was Billy Rumford, a BDC Councilmember. Tom Bates was also running for his first Assembly term. George and Bates were victorious.
		Berkeley has often received adverse press coverage because of the city's special politics. With a progressive City Council majority, the media assault seemed to escalate. The majority itself did not last as Carole Davis went her own way. It was another bad sign.
		In April 1981, Berkeley's voters rewarded the conservative coalition with an ABC/BDC sweep of all four City Council seats. The conservatives were back in control with their new majority.

	Republican Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The widening division between progressive and conservative forces in the party resulted in a third-party candidacy for Roosevelt on the Progressive, or "Bull Moose" ticket in the election of 1912.
		As the campaign progressed and Landon's moderate message was proving ineffective, he began attacking Roosevelt from the right, thereby ceding him the middle ground, which was where the voters were, as Roosevelt rolled up the biggest victory to date, winning all but the eight electoral votes from Maine and Vermont.
		After the war the isolationists in the conservative wing opposed the United Nations, and were half-hearted in exercising opposition to the expansion of Communism around the world.

	Togo Democratic Transition
		Characteristic of Eyadéma's later style of leadership by brute force, he nonchalantly led the army in a coup on 13 January 1967, the fourth anniversary of his murder of Sylvanus Olympio in 1963.
		As the French leadership fails to recognise its share of responsibility for the protracted survival of the brutal dictatorship in Togo, the people of Togo continue to suffer.
		Eyadéma's outdated authoritarian style of leadership of the country as if it were his personal fiefdom, will also serve as the main obstacle for an improvement in Togo's international relations.

	Welcome to The American Presidency
		Roosevelt quickly broke with McKinley's domestic policies and supported progressive reforms that became known as the "Square Deal." Avoiding an open battle with conservative Republicans who controlled Congress, Roosevelt initially relied on executive action to establish his reputation for reform.
		Progressive insurgents returned to the fold in 1916, but the Republican candidate, Charles Evans Hughes, lost a close race against incumbent Woodrow Wilson.
		When new leaders failed to bridge the gulf between conservatives and liberals in the GOP, Richard Nixon led a unified party to a narrow victory in the 1968 race against Hubert H. Humphrey (Democrat) and George C. Wallace (American Independent).

	Jefferson's Legacy: A Brief History of the Library of Congress -- THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, 1800-1992
		This policy reflected the conservative philosophy of Librarian of Congress John Silva Meehan and Sen. James A. Pearce of Maryland, the chairman of the Joint Committee on the Library, who favored keeping a strict limit on the Library's activities.
		Its creation was a natural development in the progressive era, when many people in business and public life advocated the "scientific" (and Jeffersonian) use of information to solve problems.
		In 1915 the Librarian reported that the new legislative service was anticipating questions from Congress on: "the conservation bills, so-called," the merchant marine, the government of the Philippines, immigration, convict-made goods, railroad securities, federal aid in road making, publicity in campaign contributions, and a national budget system.

	CanadaInfo: Government: Federal: Prime Minister: Former Prime Ministers: Clark
		Despite a short term in office and dethronement as Conservative leader, Clark continued to serve the party with a career distinguished by sterling efforts behind the scenes.
		Clark's political activities carried on; he served as President of the Progressive Conservative Student Federation, as well as working for Davie Fulton in the B.C. election in 1963.
		After the extravagant public spending of the Liberals, the Conservatives were intent on fiscal restraint and one of their first pieces of legislation was a stringent budget of program cuts and tax increases.

	Log Cabin Chronicles Peter Black's Conservative Party leadership race in Quebec column
		Stronach is the third and probably final candidate to announce for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada, the issue of the Alliance-PC shotgun marriage.
		That no one of note in the Conservative camp seems concerned that none of the their prime ministerial wannabees has any clout in Quebec and French-speaking Canada would seem to mark an historic moment for the party, which traces it roots to Macdonald and Cartier.
		Now that feuding factions of the conservative family in Canada have buried the hatchet, and claim to be a national party, it would seem an exciting opportunity awaits in Quebec.

	ESR \| June 21, 2004 \| The dilemma of Canada and Québec
		In 1980, the Parti Quebecois (under the leadership of Premier Rene Levesque) -- which had initially come to power in the province in 1976 -- held a referendum on "sovereignty-association" -- which was defeated by a ratio of about 60-40.
		It is especially "progressive" in its secularism, in its virtual repudiation of the Roman Catholic traditions of Quebec, which had been considered almost definitional of Quebecois identity for most of Quebec's history.
		His crushing of "small-c conservatism" in the Progressive Conservative Party and in English Canada concretely meant that English-Canadian right-wingers and Western Canadians would not in most cases rally to either the Meech Lake Accord, or the Charlottetown Agreements.

	CBC News Indepth: Joe Clark
		After two terms leading the Progressive Conservative party and decades in political life, Joe Clark moved to the backbench to make room for new blood, only to have his party merge with the Canadian Alliance to form the Conservative Party of Canada.
		Clark vehemently opposed the "unite the right" idea, and reasoned that a merger would forever weaken the Progressive Conservative party and ensure continued domination by the Liberals for years to come.
		When his Progressive Conservative party, under new leader Peter MacKay, merged with the Canadian Alliance, Clark decided not to sit with the new Conservative party.

		When the conservatives in France beat the Socialists in 1993, near the end of the Mitterand era, they referred to it as the "poisoned chalice," so bad were France's economic problems at the time.
		If conservatives knew one big thing, it was that free enterprise, liberated from the dead hand of the state, would solve any supply problem, as long as marginal tax rates were kept low and capital was allowed to migrate to the highest rate of profit.
		The most accurate way to describe it, I suppose, would be to say that the social conservative movement is developing the traditional characteristics of a cult, in which the semiotic symbols and concepts used in the outside world begin to take on very different and emotionally charged meanings to the initiated.
