Centre Party (Poland)
Partia Centrum (English: Centre Party) is a centrist, moderately conservative political party in Poland. Established on 3 April 2004, its founding declaration proclaimed a "necessity to take immediate steps towards repairing the state and to radically change the style of politics." The party's platform can be described as centrist with evident references to the tradition of Solidarity and Catholic social teaching.
The party's founding members and leadership are mostly from the ranks of the defunct party Solidarity Electoral Action (AWS), which held the government between 1997 and 2001, and other conservative to centrist groups, with some coming from he more liberal Freedom Union (UW).
Although nominally led by Janusz Steinhoff, formerly minister of economic affairs in the government of Jerzy Buzek, the main figurehead of the party is its honorary chairman and presidential candidate, senator Zbigniew Religa. Religa was leading in opinion polls until July but he withdrew in September 2 and asked his supporters to vote for the liberal Donald Tusk, his party has not entered the Sejm in the 2005 early elections with poll results never exceeding 5%.
The Centre Party Youth (Swedish)

formed by Kevin Lyons in 1969, which held the balance of power
in the Tasmanian House of
Assembly following the 1969 state
election in Tasmania. The party formed a
minority government
with the Liberal Party,
with Lyons acting as Deputy Premier to Angus Bethune
from 1969 to 1972.
Kevin Lyons,
the son of Tasmanian politician Joseph Lyons, was originally a member of the
Liberal Party. In 1966, a dispute arose over preselection and Lyons resigned
from the Liberals on 7 September.[1] Lyons remained in the House of Assembly
as an independent,
until the 1969 election when he ran for the newly formed Centre Party, a
repackaged version of the Country Party
which had never performed well in Tasmania.[2] Lyons was elected to the House of
Assembly as the party's only MHA, after substantial numbers of preferences were
transferred to him from Liberal voters in the electorate of Darwin.[3] Labor and the Liberals both won 17
seats in the House, resulting in a hung parliament, with the Centre Party's one seat
giving Lyons the balance of power. In negotiations with Bethune, Lyons agreed
to form a coalition government
with the Liberals, and became Bethune's deputy premier. The Liberal-Centre
coalition lasted until 1972, with Lyons resigning as Deputy Premier after a
dispute with Bethune, effectively dissolving the party and the coalition. The
resulting instability triggered the 1972 election,
which was won by the Labor Party's Eric Reece.

History[edit]
The Centre
Party was one of two political parties formed in response to constitutional
reforms due to be introduced in December 2005, when the States of Jersey Law
2005 implemented recommendations of the Clothier review by creating a system of
ministerial government—with
Council of
Ministers headed by a Chief Minister
in place of a committee-based system of administration.
Some of its
founding members, including Senator Paul Le Claire, had initially belonged to Jersey Democratic
Alliance – the other party created in 2005 – but left believing the
JDA was too left wing.[3] The Centre Party's first chairman was
Larry Adams.[4]
In 2006 the
Centre Party renewed its commitment to instituting change in Jersey. At the
2006 Annual Meeting, Roger Benest was elected to serve as chairman with Larry
Adams taking the role of Deputy Chairman. The party further indicated that it
would support candidates in the 2008 Senatorial elections and renewed its
commitment to implement its policies.
In 2007, the
party announced that it would ballot its members on whether;
- To become
the Jersey Conservative Party
- To become
the Jersey Liberal Party
- How
closely it should seek to affiliate to a United Kingdom party
It was
announced in July 2007 that the Centre Party would contest the next elections
as the Jersey Conservative Party.[5]
Election results[edit]
In the October 2005
elections two Centre Party candidates stood for the six vacant
Senator seats. Neither was successful, with sitting Senator Paul Le Claire finishing 8th with 5,413 votes and
losing his seat. The other Centre Party candidate, Kevin Lewis, polled 10th with 5,028 votes.[6]
Six members of
the Centre party stood in the November 2005
elections for deputies,[7] though they did so as independents.[8] Paul Le Claire and Kevin Lewis were elected as
deputies, and reelected as independents in the 2008 elections.
