The Danish Social Liberal Party (Danish: Radikale Venstre, literally: "Radical Left", occasionally mis-translated to English as "Radical Liberal Party") is a social-liberalpolitical party in Denmark. The party is a member of Liberal International and the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE).
The party was founded in 1905 as a split from the liberal Venstre Reform Party. The initial impetus was the expulsion of Venstre's antimilitarist wing from the party in January 1905. The expelled members held a founding conference for the new party in Odense, on 21 May 1905. In addition to the differences over military spending, the social liberals also took a more positive view than Venstre towards measures that aimed to reduce social inequality. The party also became the political leg of the cultural radical movement. The party was cautiously open to aspects of the welfare state, and also advocated reforms to improve the position of tenant farmers, an important early group of supporters. The party's social-liberal ideals are said to have been inspired by the political economists Henry George and John Stuart Mill.
Katherine (also known as The Radical) is a 1975 television film written and directed by Jeremy Kagan, and starring Sissy Spacek, Art Carney and Henry Winkler. Intended to portray the time period of the Vietnam War, the title character was loosely based on Diana Oughton of the Weather Underground, who died in the 1970 Greenwich Village townhouse explosion when a bomb she was building accidentally exploded. Reviewers have also noted that Katherine also "borrowed from the then-current headlines involving Patty Hearst, another heiress whose exact level of voluntary involvement with the Symbionese Liberation Army remained hazy in 1975.
Through a series of flashbacks, the film, told in semi-documentary fashion, retraces the main characters' lives through the years 1964-1972.
Katherine was originally telecast in a two-hour slot on October 5, 1975 and was later syndicated in a 78-minute version.
Art Carney, who plays Katherine's father, Thornton Alman, in the film, won an Oscar this same year for the film Harry and Tonto.
Committee for a Radical Left Rally (ERAS), a left-wing political party/organization in the Republic of Cyprus.
The Radical Left (Gauche radicale) was a French parliamentary group in the Chamber of Deputies of France during the French Third Republic. The Radical Left was formed by members of the Independent Radicals.
Originally, the group gathered most parliamentarians of the Radical-Socialist Party. Other Radicals sat in the Radical-Socialist Left group. However, in 1914, the party forced all members to join the latter group. The remaining Senators were Radicals who did not join or left the Radical-Socialist Party or centrist secular deputies not part of the Democratic Alliance.
In 1936, Pierre-Étienne Flandin attempted to rally the group to the Democratic Alliance by replacing the AD's group, the Left Republicans, by the Alliance of Left Republicans and Independent Radicals (Alliance des républicains de gauche et des radicaux indépendants). This failed however, since the Radical Left group became the Democratic and Independent Radical Left (Gauche démocratique et radicale indépendante), merging with the smaller Left Independents group (another centrist group).
