Left flank, march!

So the right s turn in government was followed by years of stagnation and exploding unemployment. Unable to cope with the downturn, the right was replaced by another SLD led government in 2001.

Why Syriza Will Blink

Taksim and the Left

Andrea is a leftie.

The same problems led to the collapse of the previous government (a left wing coalition led by current EU Commission President Romano Prodi), and they would certainly continue under a new government if a left wing coalition was voted into office at the next election.

Old Left Versus New Left in Latin America

And while the political right may moralize sex much more, the political left is really doing a lot of it with food.

She's an activist from the Right, and I'm an activist from the Left.

In Israel, both right and left are united in this quest.

Athens Spring ini dihancurkan karena alasan alasan yang tidak berhubungan dengan politik sayap kiri pemerintah Yunani. Berulang kali Uni Eropa menolak dan merendahkan kebijakan kebijakan yang masuk akal.

The Rising Power of NGO u0027s

In some leftwing New York papers.

She was sort of adored on the Right the way Eleanor Roosevelt was on the Left.

I deeply believe that life is a much greater adventure if we manage to do politics without the trench between the left and the right wing.

The immediate cause of the government s demise was Parliament s rejection of the center left coalition s proposed budget, in favor of the budget presented by the center right Alliance parties, which formed the previous government. Having failed to pass its first budget owing to the abrupt decision by the far right Swedish Democrats (SD) to support the Alliance alternative the government could not simply continue as if nothing had happened.

The leader of one political party in Estonia the Estonian Left Party is a woman.

Syriza, a radical left wing party whose popularity has skyrocketed amid the country s economic crisis, is the favorite to win, though it is unlikely to gain enough parliamentary seats to govern alone. Instead, it will probably lead a coalition government, though with which other parties remains unclear.

Ride it above the left wing tip and our direction will be east again.

Populist anti euro parties of the right and the left are challenging Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. And Marine Le Pen of the far right National Front is polling well ahead of the 2017 French presidential election.

These governments potential to innovate depends on the political resources and power at their disposal. The first government of the left in Uruguayan history has comparative advantages in this respect, for, unlike in Brazil and Chile, Uruguay s social democrats have ruled as a one party majority government. The Frente Amplio (FA) brings together nearly all the country s left wing groups and has the loyal support of labor unions.

PRINCETON Greece's new government, led by the anti austerity Syriza party, presents the eurozone with a challenge that it has not yet had to face dealing with national officials who are outside the traditional European mainstream. Syriza is in many ways a radical party, and its views on economic policy are often described as hard left but the party's take on debt and austerity is supported by many perfectly mainstream economists in Europe and America.

And nevertheless that many people on the left try to hate it, the truth is that it was very much the market revolution that sent the message The government does not know better.

WASHINGTON, DC Opinion polls in the run up to Greece s early general election on January 25 indicate that the left wing Syriza party is likely to win the largest share of votes. As a result, Syriza stands to earn a crucial premium under Greek electoral law, according to which the party that gains the most votes is allocated an extra 50 of the parliament s 300 seats.

Of course, their fear is not irrational, as Pasok, a long established left wing party in Greece, found out when the far left, anti austerity Syriza Party surged to victory in January. But that does not change the fact that parties need to address their electoral fears is causing serious damage to national policymaking.

It hardly helped that the negotiations between Greece and its creditors produced a growing mistrust in the competence and intentions of Syriza. Devious and erratic negotiating tactics, coupled with secret schemes to prepare as part of a Plan B for an exit from the euro, undermined the government s trustworthiness, leading even Paul Krugman to admit I may have overestimated the competence of the Greek government.

In the first wave of post crisis elections, the message was clear in one sense, and clouded in another. Whichever government was in power when the crisis hit, whether left or right, was booted out and replaced by a government of the opposite political persuasion.

Politics is still dominated by a large center left party and a large center right party, but smaller groups some claiming the center and others the right and left extremes challenge them to various degrees. In some countries, the Greens have their own identity, close to the left but, despite remarkable progress in Germany, they remain unable to reach the electoral size of the large center right and center left parties.

But it was not just women on the left who raised their political profile during the peace process women of all political parties and beliefs became involved.

That sacrifice is particularly visible in today s Congress led Indian government, which relies on support from the Left Front Communist Party. India s communists (unlike China s) remain ideologically driven, and the Left Front is resisting privatization of state assets, lifting caps on foreign direct investment, and creating a more flexible labor market.

Local governments are expected to disburse roughly 35 per cent of the total government budget in 2006.

Israeli voters chose the politics of fear over the politics of possibility. Whether to support the right or the center left was a classic choice between guns and butter, security and prosperity.

From the right, the stress is on the hazards of crony capitalism, owing to the massive implicit government subsidies that these banks receive. But both left and right agree on the fundamental asymmetry that the recent Citigroup Amendment implies Bankers get rich whether they win or lose, because the US taxpayer foots the bill when their risky bets fail.

Syriza is more a coalition than a unified party, meaning that its leader, Alexis Tsipras, must reconcile moderate socialists, including some of his economic advisers, with radical left wing members. The implementation and impact of Syriza s agenda, especially its decisive economic program, will depend on the new government s ability to maintain support at home and compromise with Greece s creditors abroad.

After all, its governments unlike those in Italy have been remarkably stable and relatively durable, lasting 643 days, on average. Moreover, no one party or figure has dominated French politics for too long, with power alternating regularly between parties of the left and the right, at least since François Mitterrand s first victory in 1981.

Then the army, backed by our supply trains, will advance for a surprise attack on the rebels left flank.

Here, the right, represented by the Republican Party, has long been suspicious of the Fed, reflecting its opposition to a powerful federal government, as well as nostalgia for the days of the gold standard (particularly the version that operated before the Fed was created in 1913). The Fed as it currently operates is being protected by the left (the Democratic Party).

From around 1923 onwards the left wing socialist parties entered the political arena and espoused the cause of workers apos rights.

It took it upon itself not only to meet EU membership criteria, but also push forward with other painful reforms. The comfortable role of criticizing the government fell into the hands of leftist populists, for a change.

The scandals provided the right with an opportunity to deliver a coup de grace to the SLD in the form of parliamentary investigative commissions. The hearings, reminiscent of Joe McCarthy s witch hunts in 1950 s America, humiliated the SLD and, in large part, compromised the entire post 1989 period.

In France, for example, many supporters of the National Front voted communist 30 years ago. And, indeed, the National Front s economic program is rather similar to that of the Left Front (an electoral bloc comprising the French Communist Party and the Left Party).

This is certainly true in Latin America, where a wave of leftist populism has swept many countries. Several Europe countries, too, have revealed a less dramatic left right split, with Spain and Italy though not Poland and the Czech Republic moving somewhat to the left.

In the first few decades of its modern existence, when it was largely run by socialists, Israel was mainly supported by the world s liberal left. In fact, the last US administration to be somewhat tough on the Israeli government was that of the Republican George H.W. Bush.

Those disappointed by the incumbent government could vote for the opposition. And the existence of a viable alternative has had a disciplining effect on politicians not by chance, Silvio Berlusconi s government served its entire electoral term.

The anti immigration Danish People s Party finished second in the country s just concluded general election, with 22 of the vote. And, in Spain, the leftist anti austerity Podemos commands double digit support.
