Step Up The Fight For Freedom SOurHq AFRICAN4 Cma O MaUNIm .ST PAR'3TY STATEMENUU'T ON THE R ACIST E LECTIONS T HE CENTRAL COMMITTEE of the South African Communist Party hails our people and especially our working class as the real victors of the September 6 racist elections. After five years of emergency rule and unending terror we showed thatbullets, batons, whips and dogs cannot stop our irresistible march to freedom. While six per cent of the population put crosses on ballot papers, we have demonstrated to the whole world that the future is in our hands and not in those of the racist parliament. The voting campaign for the white parliament and its two puppet talking shops was completely overshadowed and sidelined by the open defiance and resistance of the voteless majority. The whole world saw these racist elections for what they really were - an insult to democracy and humanity. It is crystal clear to all that the results of the elections will not be found in the ballot boxes but in the actions of the voteless millions who voted with their feet, with defiance and resistance in the factories, in the community, in the schools and universities and in the churches. Those who will assemble in Cape Town to pass laws cannot, by any civilised standard, be regarded as constituting a parliament. The government which will be appointed can have no legitimacy and will have no mandate to rule. It is no accident that the regime celebrated its return to power by mowing down scores of peaceful black protesters in a hail of bullets. We say to our working class, to all the oppressed and to all genuine democrats that the future continues to be in our hands. We must know our strength and use it with more and more vigour. Without us 6 - STEP UP THE FIGHT the whole economy grinds to a halt. Without our participation the whole state apparatus can hardly function. Without our consent to be governed the whole country becomes ungovernable. The Spring Offensive must be pursued and must reach new heights in the seasons which follow until we have won our freedom. If we realise our strength and our power and use them to the full we can surely see to it that this election is the last of its kind. To those among the white community who have seen the writing on the wall and who voted against a future of camouflaged apartheid, we say that you will not find the answer within the narrow confines of white politics. There is no middle road between racism and majority rule in one democratic, united South Africa. And only when this is achieved will there be peace in our country which, in the words of the Freedom Charter, belongs to all who live in it, black and white. To our friends outside and to the whole international community we say that you should judge de Klerk and his group by their deeds and not by the sweet talk designed for international consumption. Events have shown over and over again that the only hope for a real solution lies in the direction of increased internal and external pressures. The new white president has over and over again declared that the reform programme which he is trying to sell will never lead to majority rule in our country. This is the true purpose and meaning of his fiveyear plan which is designed to find another way to maintain white domination and privilege. And the terror which he unleashed against peaceful demonstrators is an indication of the mechanisms he intends to use to impose his type of 'reform'. Despite the bows which de Klerk has made in the direction of negotiations, there can be little doubt that if he ever comes to a genuine negotiating table it would be the result of struggle and pressure and not of dialogue or well-meaning diplomacy alone. The period ahead must be seen as a period of struggle and sacrifice. Let us raise our own intifada to new heights. Let us say with one voice that we will spare nothing in our quest for a united, democratic, nonracial South Africa based on one person one vote. Let us see to it that September 6 will go down in history as the last election of its kind. Through our defiance and the historic stayaway we have baptised de Klerk in fire. The task ahead is clear - to keep the racists under relentless pressure. EDITORIAL e 7 -AC uirUHAIN BLOW Tro T H N 41ATEIONdALIST PARTYv HE NATIONALIST PARTY was dealt a crushing blow in the September 6 election, suffering heavy losses in seats and votes both to the left and right. But if there is a lesson taught by the election it is that the regime was mortally wounded not by its opponents at the hustings, the Conservative and Democratic Parties, but by the combination of pressures, national and international, harnessed over the years by the liberation movement and given the most forceful expression during the election period through the Defiance Campaign of the Mass Democratic Movement. As a result of the election de Klerk may draw some comfort from the thought that he is now safely installed as President instead of Acting President, but he holds office in terms of a constitution whose legitimacy has been totally destroyed by the resistance of the people. The figures alone tell the story. Under the tricameral parliament, power is vested in the white house which can outvote the other two houses combined. The white electorate for the September 6 election 8 - EDITORIAL totalled 3,157,225, out of a pbpulation now estimated at between 37 and 40 million. Only 66% of the white voters went to the poll, and of those who voted only 48% supported the Nationalist Party, whose power base thus rests on only 1 million whites, less than 3% of the total population of South Africa. A 34% abstention rate among the white electorate is extraordinarily high, indicating either lack of confidence in South Africa's constitutional arrangements or outright boycott in response to the appeal of the Mass Democratic Movement.

    Hermann Giliomee True Confessions, End Papers and Hermann Giliomee was Professor of the Dakar conference: A review of Political Studies at the University of Cape Town and is presently Professor the political arguments Extraordinary at the History Department, University of Stellenbosch. E-mail: [email protected] True Confessions, End Papers and the Dakar conference: A review of the political arguments As a social critic Breyten Breytenbach published two books of political commentary and political analysis during the mid-1980s without the opportunity of engaging with commentators at home. While True Confessions of an Albino Terrorist is part autobiography and part searing comment on prison life, End Papers is a more detached dissection of the major political and cultural issues confronting South Africa. Breytenbach was now one of the respected international voices on the political crisis in South Africa. The violent break-up of apartheid had changed Breytenbach’s social criticism. In the place of the earlier rejection and denunciation had come a willingness to engage and reason with his audience. The Dakar conference of 1987, which Breytenbach co-organised, offered an ideal opportunity for this. The conference was given wide publicity and was seen by some as the catalyst that broke the ice for the negotiations between the government and the ANC two and a half years later. Key words: Afrikaans literature, Dakar conference, National Party, African National Congress, South Africa, violence, negotiations. Introduction Shortly after being released from jail in 1982 Breyten Breytenbach published two non-fiction books, The True Confessions of an Albino Terrorist (1984) and End Papers (1986).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • Challenger Party List
    Appendix List of Challenger Parties Operationalization of Challenger Parties A party is considered a challenger party if in any given year it has not been a member of a central government after 1930. A party is considered a dominant party if in any given year it has been part of a central government after 1930. Only parties with ministers in cabinet are considered to be members of a central government. A party ceases to be a challenger party once it enters central government (in the election immediately preceding entry into office, it is classified as a challenger party). Participation in a national war/crisis cabinets and national unity governments (e.g., Communists in France’s provisional government) does not in itself qualify a party as a dominant party. A dominant party will continue to be considered a dominant party after merging with a challenger party, but a party will be considered a challenger party if it splits from a dominant party. Using this definition, the following parties were challenger parties in Western Europe in the period under investigation (1950–2017). The parties that became dominant parties during the period are indicated with an asterisk.
