	Social Christian Reformist Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Social Christian Reformist Party (Spanish: Partido Reformista Social Cristiano, PRSC) is a conservative populist party in the Dominican Republic formed by Joaquín Balaguer and his political heirs in the Dominican Republic.
		However, as is the case with most party politics in the Dominican Republic, the party remains pragmatically populist.
		The Social Christian Reform Party itself won 23 seats in the chamber of deputies and 4 seats in the senate, taking a distant third place compared to the Dominican Liberation Party, which won the election, and the Dominican Revolutionary Party.

	Socialism Today - No winners in German poll
		The party, which has a mass base in the East but only between 2,000 and 3,000 members in the West, seems incapable of seizing the opportunities arising out of the right-wing politics of the Red-Green coalition government.
		The move to the right will continue because the left in the party have no alternative programme and are limited to reformist politics, with some maintaining a pro-Stalinist position regarding the history of the party and the former East German state.
		The call for a new mass workers party and the building of a socialist alternative, therefore, are still essential ingredients of the work of Marxists in Germany.

	Socialism Today - Left Party loses in Swedish poll
		The Left Party (ex-Communists) had doubled their vote in the 1998 election, largely at the expense of the SAP, but this time their ‘fatal attraction’ to the ruling social democrats and support for spending cuts was roundly punished at the polls.
		The threat from racist parties was a central element in the RS election campaign.
		The hypocrisy of the Liberals, one of the governing parties in the Stockholm region, was highlighted in a protest organised by RS outside the city hall which, as Svenska Dagbladet reported, "accused [the Liberals] of seriously undermining the quality of Swedish For Immigrants, SFI, while at the same time demanding Swedish tests for citizenship".

		The major parties are the conservative Social Christian Reformist party, organized by Joaquín Balaguer, the rival and social-democratic Dominican Revolutionary party, organized by Juan Bosch (both men served as president of the country), and the centrist Dominican Liberation party.

		Twenty–two parties from across the political spectrum are fielding candidates in the first nationwide vote since President Leonel Fernandez replaced Hipolito Mejia, whose administration was dogged by corruption scandals, skyrocketing inflation and the devaluation of the Dominican peso.
		Other parties, however, have warned it would be dangerous to put too much power in the hands of a single political faction.
		Mejia’s center–left party holds 72 of the 150 seats in the House and 29 of the 32 Senate seats, and has used that majority to hold up Fernandez–backed projects like the construction of a Santo Domingo metro system and parts of his economic policy.

	Dominican Republic - Political Parties
		A strongly reformist party, the PRD nonetheless was committed to implementing change through democratic means.
		In addition, the close ties of the Dominican Republic to the United States and the absence of widespread class conflict among Dominicans--Haitians formed the cane-cutting "proletariat" in the countryside, and, therefore, the potential for class conflict was sapped by racial, cultural, and nationalistic considerations--further diminished the possibility of a strong communist movement.
		The two main far-left parties were the Communist Party of the Dominican Republic (Partido Comunista de la República Dominicana- -Pacoredo)--a splinter group of the Dominican Communist Party (Partido Comunista Dominicano--PCD)--and the Socialist Bloc (Bloque Socialista--BS).

		The Socialist Party of British Columbia was less enthusiastic, however, as it had increased in size and influence; it also had three of its members elected to the British Columbia Legislature.
		The reformers and social democrats tended to be anti-Asian and racist; the revolutionaries, the “Impossibilists”, were generally anti-racist and argued that all workers, from Europe and Asia, were “all slaves together”.
		As the reformists either resigned, or were expelled, from the SPC, the party was then able to declare unequivocally that it looked upon all workers equally, irrespective of their origins.
