Forza Italia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1457 words) |
 | The party remains strong in the northern regions, such as Lombardy and Veneto, and in the South, where Sicily is a stronghold. |
 | The preamble to the party's statute says that "it is a liberal party although not an elistist one, indeed a popular liberal-democratic party; it is a catholic party although not a confessional one; it is a secular party, although not an intolerant and secularist one; it is a national party, although not a centralist one". |
 | It is heavily dependent on Berlusconi's image, the party anthem is sung in karaoke fashion at congresses, there is nominally no internal opposition, and TV advertisement is extensive, especially on Berlusconi's own TV networks; Forza Italia and Berlusconi deny this is a relevant conflict of interest. |
| National Anthem of the Republic of China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1035 words) |
 | After the success of the Northern Expedition, the KMT chose the text to be its party anthem and publicly solicited for accompanying music. |
 | In this respect, the national anthem of the Republic of China stands in contrast to the People's Republic of China's "The March of the Volunteers", which is written a few years later in modern vernacular Chinese entirely. |
 | The Democratic Progressive Party has accepted the current national anthem of the Republic of China but often plays it in a strongly Taiwanese context such as having it sung by a choir of Taiwanese aboriginals or in Taiwanese or Hakka. |
