Extractions: A public interest group fired off a public letter to the Federal Trade Commission (FCC) today, asking that it use its subpoena power to get access to marketer research studies to help determine if - heaven forefend - online data collection actually succeeds in helping (the evil) advertisers to reach kids and tweens. It also called on the ad industry to place a moratorium "on all interactive techniques that - in the absence of independent research suggesting otherwise - could potentially harm or negatively affect children and youth." While the letter is ludicrous on its face, it does show an interesting example of privacy concerns being twisted to suit older agendas, such as a general dislike of advertising, particularly to children.

But many other smaller parties will still be on the ballot, tax-deductible donations or not. From the loopy to the revolutionary, Canada does offer a wide range of political choicesprovided you're willing to step out of the mainstream. Usually you might expect new political parties to be started by either a political junkie ( Mel Hurtig) or a policy wonk ( The 73-year-old Hellyer came out of retirement because "the Liberals are no longer Liberals. I never thought I would live to see the day. Paul Martin's father must be rolling in his grave. Three conservative parties in this country is two more than we need." The main plank of CAP's platform is a promise to beef up the Bank of Canada's role in the economy. Hellyer would have the Central Bank create $10 billion of new money, give 50 per cent to the provinces and use the rest for federal programs. "Right now," Hellyer says, "all new money in the economy is created by private banksand all that money is created as debt. Whoever manufactures the money has the power." If this platform sounds complicated, that's because it is. To help explain himself, Hellyer sank $270,000 of his own money to produce a comic book that explains what he's talking about.

Poll results released Wednesday showed the NDP with 44 per cent support and a seven-point lead over Premier Gordon Campbell's Liberal government, which won 77 of 79 seats in 2001 and received almost 60 per cent of the popular vote. The results are the continuation of a downward trend for the Liberals, who have been slipping in the polls since September 2003 when they had 45 per cent support and the NDP was at 31 per cent, said a spokesman for Ipsos-Reid, the company that conducted the poll.

The NDP dismisses Ujjal Dosanjh's claim and points to recent polls suggesting they could hold the balance of power if the Liberals tumble to minority-government status in the election expected June 28.
Extractions: The Polarization of American Political Parties and Mistrust of Government David C. King Table Of Contents Introduction One lesson that Democratic and Republican party leaders claim to have learned in the mid-1990s is that there are great political rewards for being "centrists." While extremists may be praised within wings of their own parties, they do less well in general elections and find it more difficult to build bipartisan coalitions in Congress and the White House. Following acrimony in the 104th Congress (1995-1997), President Clinton predictably called for a new era of bipartisanship. "Today," said the president in December 1996, "the clamor of political conflict has subsided. A new landscape is taking shape. The answer is clear: the center can hold, the center has held and the American peopleare demanding that it continue to do so." Republican leaders on Capitol Hill quickly agreed. Anthony Downs, the progenitor of median voter theories in economics and political science, could not have scripted a finer exchange.

Extractions: The debating chamber of the Finnish parliament Despite the many new contenders and the seemingly rapid swings of the political pendulum, continuity has been a dominant feature in the Finnish political party system. The main party 'lineages' have undergone surprisingly few changes since Finland gained its independence. Apart from constantly changing election themes, Finnish politics are characterised by continuity. The Finnish Estates convened in 1863 after a break of more than five decades, and the Language Decree of the same year created the basis for the formation of the Finnish party system. The nationalist Fennoman movement, which Snellman had initiated, gradually developed into the Finnish Party (

The term "Liberal Party" was first used officially in 1868, though it was used colloquially for decades before-hand. The establishment of the party as a national membership organisation came with the foundation of the National Liberal Federation in Under Gladstone the Liberal Party was a dominant force until when it split over the issue of Home Rule for Ireland , when several senior figures left to found the Liberal Unionist Party . Thereafter it was only in power for short periods until it was returned by a landslide in under the leadership of Henry Campbell-Bannerman . Campbell-Bannerman died in 1908 and was succeeded by Herbert Henry Asquith In the years leading up to the outbreak of the First World War, the Liberals pushed through numerous pioneering social reforms, such as regulation of working hours, national insurance and welfare, as well as the reform of the

Extractions: Sponsorship Once you accept that left and right are merely measures of economic position, the "extreme right" refers to extremely liberal economics that may be practised by social authoritarians or social libertarians. Similarly, the "extreme left" identifies a strong degree of state economic control, which may also be accompanied by liberal or authoritarian social policies. It's muddled thinking to simply describe the likes of the British National Party as "extreme right". The truth is that on issues like health, transport, housing, protectionism and globalisation, their economics are left of Labour , let alone the Conservatives. It's in areas like police power, military power, school discipline, law and order, race and nationalism that the BNP's real extremism - as authoritarians - is clear. This mirrors France's National Front. In running some local governments, they reinstated certain welfare measures which their Socialist predecessors had abandoned. Like similar authoritarian parties that have sprung up around Europe, they have come to be seen in some quarters as champions of the underdog, as long as the underdog isn't Black, Arab, gay or Jewish ! With mainstream Social Democratic parties adopting - reluctantly or enthusiastically - the new economic libertarian orthodoxy (neo-liberalism), much of their old economic baggage has been pinched by National Socialism. It's becoming the only sort of socialism on offer. Election debates between mainstream parties are increasingly about managerial competence rather than any clash of vision and economic direction.
