		The centrists in l’Union pour la Démocratie Francaise are, by and large, wholehearted décentralisateurs and half-hearted champions of economic liberalisation.
		Here are two hypotheses as to why a majority of centrists as well as liberal democrats opposed a policy that ought to have resonated well with their principles.
		It may be that, among centrists as well as liberal democrats, many were willing to forget about principles in the hope of dealing the government a conspicuous blow.

		An alliance of centrists, the Union of Right-Wing Forces (SPS) and YABLOKO has proposed a draft law prohibiting referendums in the years of parliamentary or presidential elections.

	Centrists gain Assembly edge
		The effects of the Assembly's centrist orientation were evident last week in the defeat, either directly or indirectly, of three high-priority liberal legislative drives.
		The United Farm Workers Union, gay rights organizations and personal injury attorneys -- three of the Democratic Party's most active interest groups -- suffered setbacks as the Assembly faced a deadline for moving legislation out of its original house.
		The UFW's long-cherished goal of making farmers legally responsible for working conditions maintained by labor contractors crashed as the union's measure and its nominal author, Assemblywoman Gloria Romero, D-Los Angeles, found only rejection during what was described as a raucous closed-door meeting of Democrats.

	Russian Elections - Johnson's Russia List 1-30-03
		Battles between favorites in the future elections are like a game (after all, the communists and centrists have different electorates, each party capable of polling 20%) - while the battle on the right is just a brawl between "political brothers".
		Centrists rely on additional votes, while the right-wing parties may eventually discover to their dismay that the brawl has cost them some Duma seats.
		The Union of Right Forces in its turn has chosen against transformation into a right-wing party of the Western type, a party of Russian neo-conservatives.

		Centrists believe those who benefit by the system should be willing to pay in fair measure to the amount they benefited by it.

		Papandreou stressed that the Helsinki decisions on the Cyprus problem and the island republic's accession course are copied verbatim, which in effect means that the resolution of the "political problem" on the island would facilitate, but is not a necessary precondition for the conclusion of negotiations or the decision for Cyprus' accession.
		It was also noted that Turkey would have an upgraded political dialogue with the Union for the completion of the political criteria needed for accession, with a special emphasis on human rights, the peaceful resolution of differences and the resolution of the Cyprus issue based on relevant United Nations decisions.
		Speaking on the occupation of Cyprus' northern part by Turkish military forces, Union Commissioner on enlargement Guenter Verhuegen said that "the existence of a military force in a country does not come in contrast with the principles of the European Union".

		Oddly enough, the European Union, which has been perhaps the most vociferous critic of the Israeli fence, is at the forefront of this movement.
		Last week, the European Union announced that it is planning to construct a security fence that will separate new EU members Poland and Hungary from neighboring Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.
		The European Union said that the fence was being built not to keep out terrorists, like Israel's, but to "prevent the free movement of migrants seeking to enter" EU territory.

	NewHampshire.com: News: Senate shuns showdown, reaches a compromise
		WASHINGTON — In a dramatic reach across party lines, Senate centrists sealed a compromise last night to clear the way for confirmation of many of President Bush's stalled judicial nominees, leave others in limbo and preserve venerable filibuster rules.
		Sununu, New Hampshire's junior senator, was not part of the group of 14 centrist senators who announced the deal.
		But Republicans, frustrated by Democratic filibusters that thwarted 10 of Bush's first-term appeals court nominees and prepared to block seven of them again, threatened to supersede that rule by simple majority vote.

		While the halachic issues were less problematic and the precedents for change were more apparent, the bottom line is that the Conservative movement repeatedly abandoned longstanding ritual restrictions on women, even ones viewed as biblical in origin when they were seen to conflict with modern notions of equality and justice.
		But it does not necessarily follow that such a decision would signal the demise of the Conservative movement as a denomination dedicated to upholding rabbinic law, just as the introduction of women rabbis has not stopped the law committee from viewing Halacha as the guide for answering religious questions.
		A religious movement that sanctions same-sex unions but insists that these couples are obligated to keep the Sabbath and observe kosher dietary laws is a far different theological animal than a denomination, such as Reform Judaism, that ultimately leaves these decisions in the hands of individuals.
