	Yemen Gateway: party law - a comparative perspective (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		In Yemen a party is granted legal status by the approval of the Committee for the Affairs of Parties and Political Organisations (CAPPO), which consists of the Minister of Legal and Parliamentary Affairs as chairman, the Ministers of the Interior and Justice as members, and four non-partisans who must be either retired judges or lawyers.
		Parties are associations oriented to the formation of political opinion at Federal or Land level and to participation in the representation of the people in the Federal Parliament (Bundstag) or Regional Parliaments (Landtag).
		Party or political organisation: any group of Yemenis organised according to common principles and objectives based on constitutional legitimacy, who exercise political and democratic activities with the aim of achieving the transfer of power or sharing thereof using peaceful means.

		Parties are typically major vehicles for the recruitment of political leadership, the structuring of electoral choice and peaceable political competition, and the framing of policy alternatives (Dix, 1992).
		Government and ruling party attacks on both domestic and foreign NGOs, on the independent media and human rights which question aspects of their governance are attempts to stifle what should be healthy tension between the incumbent elite and the 'watchdog' institutions in civil society.
		The study observed that public funding of parties was not applied in all countries and to all registered parties in the region, and the disadvantages of this unevenness in coverage were enumerated.

	Washingtonpost.com: Colorado Ruling May Change Campaign Finance
		Under the law challenged in the Colorado ruling, parties are limited in the amounts of hard money they can spend directly on their candidates' behalf and in consultation with them.
		Parties "are already massively evading the hard money contribution limits by the use of soft money," said Fred Wertheimer, president of Democracy 21, which advocates tightening campaign finance rules.
		In an earlier round of the Colorado case, the Supreme Court ruled in 1996 that the parties could spend in excess of the limits as long as they operated entirely independently of their candidates.

		The fate of Malaysia's ethnic-based ruling parties is closely tied to the preservation of the partially government-aided Chinese and Tamil-medium primary schools, which exist alongside the nation's fully funded Malay-medium schools.
		Such open dissent among ruling coalition parties towards an official proposal is rare in Malaysia; grievances within the ranks are usually expressed behind closed doors while the public is offered a show of ruling coalition unity.
		The ethnic Chinese-based political parties in the ruling coalition, opposition parties and critics of the proposal have resisted Mahathir's language switch proposal for a variety of reasons.

		In Botswana, opposition parties have been known to cry "Ga lo bolo go ja [You have been eating a long time; it is time you gave others an opportunity, too]" when telling the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) why it is time for them to let go of the nipples of power.
		If opposition parties in Southern Africa are to be taken seriously by the people of the region, they should invest in the development of economic, social and political policies that present voters with real alternatives to those of the ruling parties, say the regional political leaders.
		With many ruling parties in Africa often popularly perceived as being liberators, they frequently believe it unthinkable that some day they could be out of power and on the opposition benches.

		The present state of putting no obligation on the part of the ruling party for its implementation has reduced the election manifestos to a mere rhetoric of political parties to hoodwink the credulous and gullible electorate.
		Otherwise, there does not appear to be any explicable reason as to why the contending political parties or the contesting parties should make tall promises before the elections and immerse themselves in amassing wealth for the members of their own parties thereafter with impunity and without compunction, once the formality of election is over.
		No political party/combination of political parties ruling either the country or a State should be allowed to put forth lame excuses, like, the plans in the election manifesto could not be implemented because of the “unprecedented drought”, “severe cyclones”, “devastating floods”, “severe typhoons”, “whirlwinds”, “haunting and hunting hurricanes”, “ghastly famines”, and a thousand other impediments.

		The small political parties are powerless and do not dare to oppose the ruling parties’ politics on important cases.
