Extractions: Political parties Japan's first political party, the Public Party of Patriots (Aikoku Koto), was formed in 1874 and immediately presented the Government with a paper calling for the establishment of a representative legislature. The country's first general election was held 16 years later, on July 1, l890, and the first session of the Diet was opened on November 29 of the same year. Japan's Diet was the first national legislature to be established in Asia. After monopolizing power for 38 years, the LDP, weakened by defections, lost its parliamentary majority in the summer of 1993 and was subsequently replaced by a coalition government backed by all of the former opposition parties (excluding the JCP) and led by Prime Minister Hosokawa Morihiro. Although the Hosokawa Government managed to secure passage of legislation to reform Japan's political system, the subject of a long-running national debate, it resigned after only eight months in office. Following a two-month stint by a minority coalition headed by Hata Tsutomu, a tripartite coalition formed by the LDP, SDP and Sakigake elected SDP Chairman Murayama Tomiichi to the premiership. In January 1996 the ruling coalition chose LDP President Hashimoto Ryutaro as prime minister to replace Murayama after his resignation.
The Project For Conservative Reform that characterize much of the conservative movement seem out of place in the eraof the dot com economy. As party loyalties and political identities continue http://www.conservativereform.org/about.cfm
Extractions: Project for Conservative Reform Political conservatism today stands at a crossroads. While conservatives control the White House and the two branches of Congress, traditional conservative themes increasingly lack political salience. The ideas that once guided the movement the crusade for a balanced budget, the drive for sweeping tax reform and scaling back the federal government have proven themselves incapable of providing the basis for an effective governing majority. Moreover, the partisanship and closed ranks that characterize much of the conservative movement seem out of place in the era of the "dot com" economy. As party loyalties and political identities continue to decline, the most dynamic force in American politics seems to be the huge number of voters who refuse to identify with either political party. This bloc of independent voters is extremely volatile. They range from the apolitical to the anti-political, from apathetic to openly hostile toward government and public service. The various Clinton scandals have, indeed, fueled their animus toward politics; however, much of this antipathy is directed toward both political parties, which seem to place more emphasis on raising soft money than on principle. A key challenge for conservative statesmanship in the coming decades will be to bring such independent voters into the political process and to convince them that their beliefs can have a place within our constitutional order. If political conservatism is to have a secure future, it will be necessary for conservatives to learn to build coalitions with this growing bloc of independent voters. To do so, conservatives will need to outline a realistic reform agenda in key issue areas such as tax policy, government excess, social security, education, national service and defense.

Send Comment or Letter March 21, 2003 Will Pakistan Make It? Visiting Pakistan yet again after a two-year hiatus the question that seemed uppermost in the minds of many Pakistanis, at least among my largely academic and intellectual contacts, is the direction in which the country is headed. Almost everyone is of the opinion that the urgent task of nation-building is not being pursued seriously. During the past fifty-six years hopes were raised many times to turn the country around for a better future. The last two democratically elected governments promised much, the rooting of democracy and the building of a productive economy. In the end, the only economy that was productive was that of the two prime ministers, Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif, who systematically pillaged the country to fatten their own coffers. Meanwhile, in the current one hundred days of democracy the National Assembly has yet to enact a legislation of any national or international significance. The only item brought before the legislative body and debated for 47 days has been the 8th Amendment. The issue represents a naked contest for power to make the parliament supreme whether it helps the nation or not.

Extractions: All the Right's Moves With the fall elections, Republicans now control the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives. Conservative thinkers are influencing policy and law across the nation. But how is the next generation of conservative leaders affectingand being affected byan HLS campus known as a bastion of American liberalism? By Jonas Blank '04 Members of HLS's burgeoning conservative and libertarian 3L Brian Hooper, 3L Michael Geiser and 2L Carrie Campbell. The Harvard Law School Republicans' election-night party is under way. A crowd gathers by the televisions in Harkness Commons, chatting over chips and beer, snack mix and sodas. Some students talk politics while others chat about the goings-on in their lives; the televisions are tuned to Fox News, of course. Adorning the walls are Mitt Romney campaign posters, signs tracking the leads in close races and a map of the states drawn carefully with black marker. The map is still mostly blank, but soon enough, most of it will be colored red. By the end of the night, the Republican Party will control the House, the Senate and the presidency. By a slim but growing margin, the GOP is now the party of majority in the United States. But at Harvard Law School, the political landscape looks much different. A recent article in The Economist called HLS "the command centre of American liberalism," and the assertion may not be too far off the mark. The school's faculty is, by some accounts, overwhelmingly liberaltoo liberal even for the mainstream of the Democratic Party, some conservatives say. Rarely will a student hear a professor praise the decisions of Supreme Court Justices Scalia '60, Rehnquist or even O'Connor; right-leaning law and economics scholars like the 7th Circuit's Richard Posner '62 are routinely criticized. It is not unusual in some classes to hear a left-wing student's comments applauded, a conservative's booed. One student compared being a conservative in an HLS class to being a socialist at a military academy.

Extractions: A political designation, the meaning of which is, as usual, complex and ambivalent. Originally applied to Irish Catholic bandits, it was used derisively in the seventeenth century to characterize defenders of the principals of hereditary succession to the crown and non-resistance to the monarch. During the eighteenth century it was applied to conservatives who insisted upon the constituted authority of the Church of England, upon the divine right of kingship, and upon parliamentary privilege predicated upon the ownership of land. Less well organized, as a political party, than their opponents, the Whigs, the Tories fell into disarray after the Glorious Revolution in 1688, though there remained within parliament, through the reigns of William III and Anne, (the Tories, in fact, came briefly to power during Anne's reign, but were undone in 1714 by their manifestly Jacobitical tendencies) a significant block of members bound together by mutual adherence to Anglicanism, hostility to Dissenters, and continued insistance upon the principle of divine monarchical right. The Tory power base was the conservative rural squirearchy, which was violently opposed to the taxation required to pay for the wars with France the

Extractions: he Conservative Party is, to some extent, the continuation of the old Tory Party, members of which began forming "conservative associations" after the 1832 Reform Act . John Wilson Croker, writing in the Quarterly Review on 1 January 1830 first used the name "Conservative" as a description of the party. At this point in time, the Duke of Wellington was the leader of the Tories in parliament: it might be said, therefore, that he was the first leader of the Conservatives. Certainly he spoke of a partie conservateur a "conserving party": it is interesting that he chose to use the French term rather than an English equivalent. Conservatism as expounded by Sir Robert Peel was based on Tory traditions built up under Lord Liverpool : defence of Crown, Church and Constitution. Defence of the constitution meant Conservatism was Toryism but using different tactics. Norman Gash ("The Earl of Liverpool", in

Www.stortinget.no > About The Storting > Party Groups At the present there are eight political parties represented in the Storting no Linkto the party's homepage The Labour party(in English The conservative party. http://www.stortinget.no/english/partygroups.html
Extractions: The 165 representatives in the Storting organize themselves into party groups, each of which includes all the representatives belonging to a single party. At group meetings the parties define their political positions and formulate their views on issues currently being dealt with in the Storting. Each group elects a steering committee and a chairman, who is also called the party's parliamentary leader. The chairman and the steering committee make certain political decisions, coordinate group activities, suggest the distribution of representatives among the committees, assign speaking time, and so forth. Each group has its own secretariat in the Storting to assist the representatives in various ways, both practical as well as political. Each group has at least one political adviser and one or more office secretaries. The size of a group secretariat is determined by the size of the party representation during each electoral term. Office staff are hired by the party group, but they are on the Storting's payroll. The groups hire and pay the salaries of their political advisers, so the size of this staff is determined by the size of the party and its finances. Each political party represented in the Storting also receives an annual allowance in proportion to its representation for payment of its group secretariat.
