	Presentation of the Transnational Radical Party
		The Transnational Radical Party (TRP) a nonviolent political international organization is the evolution of an Italian electoral party called Radical Party, which in the late 1980s decided to withdraw from the national political scene to pursue global goals y seeking the support of everyday citizens and politicians alike regardless of their nationality and/or political affiliation.
		She was especially committed to the struggle for the “Spinelli” and federalism reform of Union Institutions, on themes of foreign policy and in particular on the abolition of the death penalty, on the International Criminal Court, on the battle for the protection of human rights in China and in Tibet and on the Balkan question.
		In 2000 she was part of the team led by Marco Perduca for the defence of the Transnational Radical Party at the Economic and Social Council, which subsequently rejected the motion for the expulsion of the TRP from the UN system.

		Early 20th century Bulgaria had a middle class that was the base of the liberal parties, the agrarian formation, the Democratic Party.
		The parties in the contemporary political spectrum not only lack a fixed social base whose interests they defend and which serves as corrective to the party elite; their leaders are not striking political figures either.
		The truth about party reality in Bulgaria today is not that the old parties have been restored but that new political formations reflecting the real interests of the new social strata have to be established under the names of the old parties.

	Anti-Party Attitudes in Indonesia Paige Johnson Tan
		It was the parties, and especially the strong polarisation of competition among the parties, that took the overwhelming share of the blame for the government’s failure to deliver in the 1950s.
		Parties’ functions were delineated as political education; absorbing channeling and struggling for the interests of their members; and preparing citizens to serve in the nation’s democratic government (Law 2, Chapter 4, Article 7).
		It was not the candidate but rather the party center that was responsible for submitting a candidate’s name to allow him or her to stand for election, and it was the party symbol, not the candidate’s name, which appeared on the ballot.

	Two Chamber judgments concerning Bulgaria
		The Court also recalled that, in a democratic society based on the rule of law, political ideas which challenged the existing order and whose realisation was advocated by peaceful means had to be afforded a proper opportunity of expression through the exercise of the right of assembly, as well as by other lawful means.
		In a democratic society based on the rule of law, political ideas which challenged the existing order without putting into question the tenets of democracy, and whose realisation was advocated by peaceful means, had to be afforded a proper opportunity of expression through, among other things, participation in the political process.
		However shocking and unacceptable the statements of the applicant party’s leaders and members might appear to the authorities or the majority of the population and however illegitimate their demands might be, they did not appear to warrant the interference in question.

		For their part, the Democrats still champion common security; they call for a government that can build dikes and reduce the costs of college and medication and that knows that remaking the world becomes more plausible when some of the world is actually willing to go along with us.
		For Democrats, being boxed in as the Party of the Poor while the GOP assumes the mantle of the family is an electoral nightmare.
		In the history of the Democratic Party, the election of 1980 looms large: the year the party lost the White House, the Senate, a generation of Midwestern liberals and, in some ways, its confidence that it was the natural, even inevitable, majority party.

	INSIGHT: Radicals quietly abandon jailed leader’s ideals - News news (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Serbian Radical Party, SRS, long known for its nationalist rhetoric and adherence to the idea of a Greater Serbia, is quietly changing its image and policies, defying the testimony of its imprisoned leader, Vojislav Seselj.
		The Radicals emerged in February 1991 from the fusion of two hard-line nationalist groups, the Serbian Chetnik Movement and the People’s Radical Party and began its rise to power in the 1992 general election, when it won more than 70 seats in the 250-seat Serbian parliament.
		In another sign that the party is drifting away from Seselj, party leaders have markedly changed their public appearances with a view to softening their macho image.

	CNN.com - Clashing agendas in 'unity' government - May 8, 2001
		The current government is itself a delicate balancing act between the Macedonian Slav-based VMRO party of Prime Minister Ljubco Georgievski, and the Democratic Party of Albanians (DPA), led by Arber Xhaferi.
		Since forging their governing alliance in 1998, the parties have worked in tandem to present an ethnically unified face in one of only two former Yugoslav republics -- the other is Slovenia -- to escape (until recently) the bloodshed that marred post-independence struggles elsewhere in the Balkans.
		The two new players in the unity government are Imer Imeri's Party for Democratic Prosperity (PDP), the ethnic Albanian party in opposition since 1998, and its opposite number on the ethnic Macedonian Slav side, the Social Democratic Union of Macedonia (SDSM), successor to the Communist Party of Macedonia.

	Bulgaria - GOVERNANCE AFTER ZHIVKOV
		In February 1990, Mladenov resigned as party chief, removing the stigma of party interference in government; in April, the State Council was abolished and Mladenov was named president.
		The first free election of the postwar era, the national election of June 1990, was anticipated as an indicator of Bulgaria's post-Zhivkov political mood and as an end to the extreme uncertainty that followed the Zhivkov era.
		The two major parties became deadlocked over UDF demands that the BSP acknowledge its responsibility for the economic ruin of Bulgaria, and that the government adopt the UDF plan for radical economic reform similar to that in Poland.

	East European Constitutional Review
		Thus the major thrust of the “radical version” of reform is to put the courts at the center of the judicial process and to prune the autonomy of investigative officers and procurators.
		So far, BSP has failed to consolidate the political left in Bulgaria and seems to be yielding ground to the Euroleft Party, which has established its reputation as a European-style social-democratic party.
		Given the traditional influence of the left in Bulgarian politics, the outcome of the struggle for predominance between neocommunists and social democrats is likely to have a palpable impact on national politics in the near future.

	ViewsWire
		The extreme nationalist Serbian Radical Party (SRS) is still expected to emerge as the largest party, but the SRS's position has slipped a bit recently and the party is unlikely to come to power.
		Ostensibly, it pits two radical nationalist parties in the current parliament—the Serbian Radical Party (SRS), which is the largest single grouping, and the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), the party of former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic—against the so-called “democratic bloc” of anti-Milosevic parties.
		Although under most plausible post-election scenarios the democratic parties seem likely to have a parliamentary majority, of uncertain size, the creation of a government between them is unlikely to be straightforward.
