Abstract
This paper explains that the Reform Party of Canada lasted for just 13 years, from 1987 to 2000. The author points out that, with such a short lifespan, it might be concluded that it failed as a political party; however, this would be to take too narrow a view. The paper argues that, although the party was short-lived, it left a sizable positive legacy.
From the Paper
"The Reform Party of Canada lasted for just 13 years - from 1987 to 2000. With such a short lifespan, we might conclude that it failed as a political party. However, this would be to take too narrow a view. It can be argued that although the party was short-lived, it left a sizable positive legacy. In particular, it helped western Canadian interests to move from a marginalized position in Canadian politics, and to take up a relatively powerful position at the federal government level."

Abstract
This paper describes the problems faced by the NDP in Atlantic Canada in gaining the popularity needed to form a government in any of the three provinces in the region. The paper analyzes the stigmas created including the idea of not having proven themselves on the political stage, traditional values of the voters, and the ideals of the surrounding electorate. The writer uses as a reference an example of the NDP in Nova Scotia where all three stigmas can be seen. Also provided are other explanations for the NDP?s failure.
From the Paper
"It has been the situation in the past that the Liberals and the Progressive Conservatives have formed the governments of Nova Scotia seemingly in turn of one another and without fear of the NDP. In recent elections however the NDP have gathered a support base of voters and have been seen, possibly an unintentional consequence, as the only alternative to the two parties that seem almost as one. The people of Nova Scotia have finally decided that they have had enough and are willing to vote for an alternative to the corruption and hierarchy of the powers that be. But will that mean an upturn for the NDP or will people over look their alternative status because of their seemingly narrow scope of ideals and principles."

Abstract
This paper examines how the organization of the Liberal Party could be considered central to the Canadian political spectrum, with an amalgamation of liberal social policy and corresponding modern economic policies. It examines how, back in the formative years of the liberal party of Canada, the political parties during those times were largely scattered and unstable, as compared to the modern political parties of today's times, and coalesced into a cohesive organization only as late as the 1880s. The paper also looks at how the governing coalition of liberal - conservatives under the leadership of Sir John A. McDonald in Canada West and his French - Canadian counterpart, George - Etienne Cartier in Canada East, encompassed a number of distinct groups, many of which had potentially conflicting interests - Catholic and Protestants, English and French, urban and rural. The paper concludes with a look at the reasons for the success of this party.
Outline:
Organization
Base of Support
Political Ideology
Changes in the Party's Political Ideology Over a Period of Time - History
Reasons for its Success in the Federal Elections
From the Paper
"Right and left are shorthand labels for conflicting belief systems. These beliefs include basic notions about how society, the economy, and politics operate, as well as ideas about how these matters should be arranged. Generally speaking to be on the right in Anglo - American societies mean that one subscribes to an individualistic belief system. Such a person is likely to believe that what one achieves in life is due principally to his or her own efforts - that the welfare of the society is best promoted by allowing individuals to pursue their own interests and that modern government is too expensive and too intrusive. To be on the left, however, is to prefer a set of beliefs that may be described as collectivist. A leftist is likely to attribute greater weight to social and economic circumstances as determinants of ones opportunities and achievements than does someone on the right. "

Abstract
This paper argues that the taxation policies of the Liberal and Progressive Conservative Parties in Canada have shifted further to the right.
From the Paper
The Conservative Party maintains its conservative beginnings. Its philosophy is oriented toward maintaining the status quo in so far as the nation of Canada and its institutions, programs, eliminating regionalism, building a stronger nation, and limiting government intrusion into the private lives of Canadians.[i] There is little change in the Party?s current platform. The Conservatives want to restore spending to the levels before the Liberals assumed power. The Conservatives have promulgated a new tax policy that calls for tax reduction

Abstract
This paper discusses the political make-up in Canada, focusing on the political parties that make up the government. The paper examines the role within government of the non-Canadian un-elected monarch, who is currently the Queen of England. The paper looks at the ongoing discussion in Canada about ways to make the country more a democracy and to protect the democratic institutions that have been created.
From the Paper
"The system for both domestic and foreign policy issues tends to be a pluralist democracy even as leaders promote the idea of a representative democracy. The system is unjust because it ignores or devalues millions of people, perhaps the majority of the citizenry, while responding to the loudest groups either in terms of those spending more money or those making their views heard most clearly. At the same time, it is difficult to see how it could be otherwise at the federal level, the sheer size of which reduces the link between elected representatives and the people they serve. Leaders will always respond more readily to the constituents they hear than to those who do not make their views known, and this necessarily means public interest groups and elites that make their views known will have more power."

The Reformation and Counter-Reformation Periods, 2005.
A brief over-view of a religiously-divided Europe during the Reformation and Counter-Reformation periods.

Abstract
The following paper is a brief review of the religious schism that wracked Europe, principally France and Germany, during the Reformation and Counter-Reformation periods. The paper examines how the various leaders involved responded, and what the long-term consequences of their decisions were for their respective lands. The paper also notes how the period actually strengthened the French while weakening the Holy Roman Empire.
From the Paper
"The history of modern Europe has seen its share of troubling religious divides and more than its share of religious violence. That being said, the French monarchy was initially repressive towards religious dissent but gradually assumed a more progressive approach as the sixteenth century drew to a close. In the early decades of the Sixteenth century, however, Francis I was notorious in his brutal crack-down of the emerging sixteenth century Protestantism; this persecution was ably pursued by his successor, Henri II who also took it upon himself to contest a variety of territorial holdings with the Holy Roman Empire, England and Spain. As the second half of the sixteenth century proceeded, French efforts to thwart the Protestant upheaval grew in conviction."

Canadian Political Parties, 2002.

Abstract
By the end of the 1980's, it was becoming increasingly clear that the antiquated two party system in Canada was no longer effective in representing the views of the entire nation. Regional cleavages were becoming severely pronounced and alternative regional-based parties were thus progressively more alluring. The success of the Francophone Bloc Quebecois and the western based Reform party boldly highlights the intensity of the thrust behind the regional movement. This paper will compare and contrast the constitution of these two flourishing parties and some light may be shed upon the changing nature of politics and electoral behaviour in Canada.

Abstract
This party examines the reasons for the party's success throughout the twentieth century. It becomes evident that Liberal party leaders succeeded in finding a compromise between French and English Canada. Today, however, it appears that the present Liberal Prime Minister is leaving the path of previous liberal leaders in that he is dismantling the welfare state.

Abstract
The paper explores what the British parties believe in and their future plans. Ideologies of the Conservative Party, Labour Party and Liberal Democrats are examined in detail.
From the Paper
"Labour has set out a clear series of principles concerning constitutional reform. Some of these policies have been carried out, while others remain merely plans. These plans lie at the heart of the Labour manifesto, and political commentator Anatole Kaletsky once said that if ?Tony Blair were run over by a bus tomorrow, he would remembered by only one event: the transformation of the British constitution.? Tony Blair certainly set out a series of ambitious targets when he got into power in 1997. Their most distinct achievment in this field is their reform of the House of Lords. In 1999, they removed the right of hereditary peers to sit and vote in this House (with the exception of 92 ?transition? hereditary peers), leaving 527 life peers, 26 Bishops, and 27 Lords. Following recommendations from Lord Wakeham in 2000, the government set out a white paper deciding the future of the House of Lords. Under Blair?s proposals, the remaining 92 hereditary peers are to go, and the introduction of more life peers will be abolished. Also, the size of the House will be reduced to 600, with twenty percent directly elected, and fifty-five percent nominated by each political party, according to its share of the General Election vote. There will be at least 12 Law Lords, and only 16 Church of England bishops. The Lords would also their power to block delegation, and would only be able to delay for three months. However, it must be stated that this is merely a white paper, and carrying out the plans would be extremely difficult. Therefore, it is fair to suggest that the proposals face an uncertain future."

Abstract
This paper explains that Eric Shaw's book "The Labour Party Since 1979: Crisis and Transformation" is extremely well written because it chronicles the decline and resurgence of the Labour party by using carefully constructed historical rhetoric and an understanding of the cultural and economic changes, which influenced the Labour reformation. The author points out that Shaw writes that the Labour party needed to change not only because there was rancorous partisanship within its own party but also because the changing times demanded a new approach to Labour's marketing and philosophical vision. The paper relates that the efforts of Kinnoch to change the radical leftists into a more modern and moderate party were the effective means, which lead to the strong position the Labour party occupied going into the 90s.
From the Paper
"By the end of 1983, there was a major crisis at hand, not only had the Labour presence severely diminished, but also the world was about to see the rise of one of the strongest conservative leaders to ever reign in parliament. Margaret Thatcher's approach to government was very different, and her policies were much more practical in its implementation and approach. As a result, the Labour party lacked the organization and the strong philosophical backbone to do challenge the conservatives. From 1983 to 1987, Shaw argues that the Labour party finally became to realize that if it was to survive it had to progressively modernize its fundamental vision."

Abstract
This paper discusses party affiliation and how it influences how the government in the United States operates. It also discusses other important influences that exist. The paper then discusses the reasons for the difficulty that exists for a new party to gain power in government because of the two party system that currently exists.
Table of Contents:
Party Affiliation
Difficulty in Adding a New Party
From the Paper
"There are also some institutional factors, which limit the influence of party affiliation by members of Congress. The President and other party leaders may assist Congressmen in their election, but ultimately members are responsible to their constituents first. They may follow an ideological group or a bi-partisan coalition on an issue if it is what their voters want.
"In recent years there has been a growth in earmarks, the funding of specific projects often targeted to a specific Congressman's district. If distributed by the party these can increase discipline and be used as a way of rewarding loyalty. Also a popular president or former president might campaign on behalf of party loyalists, helping out at re-election time."

Abstract
This essay examines some of the events that took place in China since the middle of the 19th century and that led to the triumph of the Chinese Communist party after World War II. The essay focuses on the factors that led to the failure of the Chinese Nationalist party (Guomindang) to consolidate its support amongst the Chinese people. It also argues that the factors that led to the failure of the Guomindang government to maintain power include strong a nationalist sentiment, the importance of the peasantry and unsolved socio-economic problems.
