The New Politics Network's work proved highly influential on the Electoral Commission's report "The funding of political parties" (December 2004). They support public funding of political parties but in a targeted way to connect politics with the electorate at constituency level. Director of the New Politics Network Peter Facey said: "It has been more than two months since the Electoral Commission published their report on how politics should be funded. Since then there has not been a single announcement from any political party about how they propose to respond.

POLITICAL PARTIES REFORM PARTY Origin The Reform Party, the full title of which was “the New Zealand Political Reform League”, was a conservative body, but that term must be understood in the light of our history and environment. Right-wing organisations which preceded the N.Z.P.R.L. were the Political Reform Associations (1887), the National Association (1891–99), and the Auckland Electoral League (1902). In spite of the poor prospects for a successful attack on Seddon's strongly entrenched Liberal Party, a Political Reform League was formed in Christchurch in June 1905, mainly through the work of W. J. (later Sir William) Polson and of Charles Lewis who was probably responsible for reviving the “Reform” label of 1887. P.R.L.s sprang up in other centres, and Massey accepted their support for the 1905 election. The Christchurch group produced a few numbers of the Reformer Reorganisation The League made good headway in preparing for the election of 1914, but the political truce at the outbreak of war, followed by the formation of the National Government (August 1915), led to its gradual falling apart. During the Prime Minister's absence in Europe, 1918–19, a “Progressive Reform” cave, of vaguely leftward tendencies, developed among his backbenchers. Massey turned aside the threat by taking three of the leaders into his Cabinet in 1920. By the election of 1919, Reform was, in effect, Massey's personal following, his supporters standing as “Independent Reform”, not as League candidates. He relied on his own

New Forms of Democracy? The Reform and Transformation of Democratic Institutions: A Research Conference May 17-18, 2002, UC Berkeley Institute of European Studies ABSTRACTS OF CONFERENCE PAPERS Introduction: New Forms of Democracy? Reform and Transformation of Democratic Institutions Russell J. Dalton The past quarter century has seen two concurrent trends with major potential consequences for Western democracies: decreased interest and participation in the institutions of representative democracy, and a groundswell of demand for institutional reforms to expand citizen involvement in political decision making. There is a potential for a real transformation in the democratic process, but the breadth of these changes and their policy and institutional implications remain uncertain. This project asks whether contemporary changes are really transforming the foundations of the democratic process, or whether these alterations are accommodating popular pressures without altering the basic nature of representative democracy. Is the potential for reform truly being realized, and if so, what are the broader implications for the nature and practice of democracy?

Parties choose candidates and policies. In general, only those who feel comfortable within a party’s machinery participate in that process. How parties are funded influences that party machinery. Federally, recent reforms to the way parties are financed haven’t solved all our problems, but they’ve gone a long way to cement the differences between our electoral system and the U.S. system. Provincially, we haven’t tackled the issue head on, except through the Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform, whose proposed STV electoral system seems doomed to fail in the coming election. Of course, it’s complicated Federal party membership roles are still subject to absurd manipulation. And not every voter, even those deeply interested in public policy, has the time or interest to participate in party affairs.

King Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. During a period of accelerated economic liberalization, from 1986 until today, Tunisia's hegemonic party abandoned its representation of a broad segment of society and became a vehicle representing the interests of the rural bourgeoisie and urban manufacturers, many of whom had been rural notables. In addition, an increasingly globalized economy and stagnant state-led growth strategies within Tunisia led to constraints on state autonomy as international forces pressed for increased market reforms. An Islamist movement serves as the strongest organized resistance to the hegemonic party. The administrative elites autonomy, however, has always been vulnerable to one powerful social group: the rural bourgeoisie. The post-independence policy process has frequently reflected the elite's vulnerability to the vested interests of the rural bourgeoisie. Until relatively recently, however, the administrative elite attempted to use their control, first of the nationalist movement and then of state patronage and state policy, to create an umbrella political organization that attempted to respond to all constituencies in Tunisia, while still formulating an overall development strategy according to their own ideologies and goals. Their actions led to a populist nationalist movement and a populist political party, the Neo-Destour. At independence, the administrative elite led by President Habib Bourguiba, took control of the political apparatus of the state. Party leaders and the bureaucratic establishment form the membership of the administrative elite.

The results of the July legislative elections, which took place in an atmosphere of unprecedented distrust of politicians, reflect the keen desire of the Japanese electorate for political change. The old major parties have been forced to retreat, while the new conservative groups have gained ground. The loss of an absolute majority by the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the rout of the Social Democratic Party of Japan has marked the end of what had come to be called the "1955 system" (named after the year in which the LDP was founded), which in a sense mirrored the East-West confrontation. The elections have accentuated the fluidity of Japan's political situation and the urgent need for a new framework.
