{{Politics of Bolivia}}

The '''Plurinational Legislative Assembly''' ({{lang-es|Asamblea Legislativa Plurinacional}}) is the national [[legislature]] of [[Bolivia]], placed in [[La Paz]], the country's seat of government.

The assembly is [[Bicameralism|bicameral]], consisting of a [[lower house]] (the [[Chamber of Deputies (Bolivia)|Chamber of Deputies]] or {{Lang|es|Cámara de Diputados}}) and an [[upper house]] (the [[Chamber of Senators (Bolivia)|Chamber of Senators]], or ''Cámara de Senadores)''. The Vice President of Bolivia also serves as the ''ex officio'' President of the Plurinational Legislative Assembly. Each house elects its own directorate: a President, first and second Vice Presidents, and three or four Secretaries (for the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, respectively). Each party is said to have a [[Legislature|seat]] ({{lang-es|bancada}}) consisting of its legislators. The representatives of each [[Departments of Bolivia|department]] comprise a brigade (''brigada''). Each house considers legislation in standing [[committee]]s.

The Chamber of Senators has 36 seats. Each of the country's nine [[Departments of Bolivia|departments]] returns four [[Senate of Bolivia|senator]]s elected by [[proportional representation]] (using the [[D'Hondt method]]).<ref name=RegimenElectoral>{{cite web|title=Bolivia: Ley del Régimen Electoral, 30 de junio de 2010|url=http://www.lexivox.org/norms/BO-L-N26.xhtml|website=Lexivox|access-date=10 February 2015}}</ref> (From 1985 to 2009, the Senate had 27 seats: three seats per department: two from the party or formula that receives the most votes, with the third senator representing the second-placed party.) Senators are elected from party lists to serve five-year terms, and the minimum age to hold a Senate seat is 35 years.

The Chamber of Deputies comprises 130 seats, elected using the [[Additional Member System|additional member system]]: 70 deputies are elected to represent single-member [[electoral district]]s, 7 of which are Indigenous or Campesino seats elected by the [[usos y costumbres]] of minority groups, 60 are elected by proportional representation from party lists on a departmental basis.<ref name=RegimenElectoral /> Deputies also serve five-year terms, and must be aged at least 25 on the day of the election. Party lists are required to alternate between men and women, and in the single-member districts, men are required to run with a female alternate, and vice versa. At least 50% of the deputies from single-member districts are required to be women.

Both the Chamber of Senators, and the proportional part of the Chamber of Deputies is elected based on the vote for the presidential candidates, while the deputies from the single-member districts are elected separately.<ref name=RegimenElectoral />

The legislative body was formerly known as the ''National Congress'' ({{lang-es|Congreso Nacional}}).

The next election was scheduled to take place in June 2007, but was brought forward to December 2005 on a decision from interim President [[Eduardo Rodríguez (politician)|Eduardo Rodríguez]].

==Buildings==
[[Image:Palace of gov, la paz.jpg|thumb|250px| Government Palace of Bolivia in downtown La Paz.]]
The two chambers of Congress meet in the legislative palace located on [[Plaza Murillo]], La Paz's main city-centre square. Plaza Murillo is also flanked by the presidential palace (informally known as the [[Palacio Quemado]] – the "Burnt Palace" – on account of repeated attempts to raze it to the ground in the 19th century) and the cathedral of Nuestra Señora de La Paz. Prior to becoming the seat of the legislature in 1904, the congress building had, at different times, housed a [[convent]] and a [[university]].

The Vice-President, in his capacity as President of Congress, has an imposing suite of offices on Calle Mercado in central La Paz. The building, designed by [[Emilio Villanueva]], was erected during the 1920s and was originally intended to serve as the headquarters of Bolivia's [[central bank]] (''Banco de la Nación Boliviana''). Under [[Jaime Paz Zamora]]'s 1989–1993 [[President of Bolivia|presidency]], the building was reassigned to the vice-presidency, but the vice-presidential staff did not relocate entirely until major reconstruction and renovation work, starting in 1997, had been carried out. The Library of Congress and the National Congressional Archive are also located on the premises.

== Education ==
Price was born in [[Swanley]], [[Kent]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/browns-reign-of-terror-at-downing-street-1895807.html|title=Brown's 'reign of terror' at Downing Street|website=The Independent}}</ref> and educated at Blackwell Primary School and [[Sackville School, East Grinstead|Sackville Comprehensive School]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.lanceprice.co.uk/biography.htm|title=Biography - LancePrice.co.uk|website=www.lanceprice.co.uk|access-date=2016-05-12}}</ref> He received a [[First Class Honours|First Class degree]] in [[Philosophy, Politics and Economics]] at [[Hertford College]], [[University of Oxford|Oxford]]: here, his early interest for media and journalism was evident in his involvement with the student newspaper, ''[[Cherwell (newspaper)|Cherwell]]''. Whilst studying, Price became involved with the ''[[Birmingham Evening Mail]]'' and maintained an active membership of the Oxford Labour Club.

==BBC journalist==
Price's involvement with the media continued after university, when he joined the [[BBC]] as a News Trainee, working there continuously from 1980 to 1998, taking a minor gap to travel from 1992 to 1993.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lanceprice.co.uk/biography.htm|title=Biography - LancePrice.co.uk|work=lanceprice.co.uk|accessdate=22 February 2015}}</ref> His career at the BBC touched on many topical issues of the time, covering the [[Northern Ireland Troubles]] for three years, then becoming a national radio and television reporter, Defence Correspondent, and finally a Political Correspondent based at Westminster. As political correspondent and beyond, he interviewed every serving prime minister from [[James Callaghan]] to [[Tony Blair]], and was the only journalist in [[Downing Street]] when the resignation of [[Margaret Thatcher]] was announced.

Whilst he was a Defence Correspondent, Price travelled on the first ever non-stop RAF flight from the UK to the Falkland Islands. His other work with the BBC involved presenting programmes on [[BBC Radio Five Live]], the [[BBC News Channel]] and fronting [[BBC Breakfast News]] after the [[1997 Welsh devolution referendum|Welsh devolution referendum]].

==Labour Party==
After seventeen years as a [[BBC]] journalist, he joined [[Tony Blair]]'s staff at [[10 Downing Street]] in 1998, where he was deputy to the Communications Director, [[Alastair Campbell]]. He was promoted to the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]]'s Director of Communications from 2000 until the [[2001 United Kingdom general election|general election of 2001]], playing a significant role in overseeing the party's victorious campaign.

Price was the first person to coin the phrase 'the nasty party' to describe the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] during his time with Labour. He came up with the phrase while ghost-writing a statement by Tory defector, [[Ivan Massow]], who was joining the party.

==Author==
Price was the co-author and principal photographer for the ''Berlitz Guide to Iceland'', published in 2003, and he maintains an active interest in travel and photography.

Upon leaving the Labour Party, Price published the first insider account of [[Tony Blair]]'s first term as Prime Minister, from 1997 to 2001. ''The Spin Doctor's Diary'' was published in September 2005 by [[Hodder & Stoughton]]. Price appeared before the [[Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Select Committee|House of Commons Public Administration Committee]] to answer questions on the reasons for publishing the book; the Committee went on to recommend a new system of oversight for political diaries.

Price's second book was the satirical novel ''Time and Fate'', published in October 2005. This was a "take on what life was like for a family at the top of British politics".<ref name="polperropress.co.uk">{{cite web|url=http://www.polperropress.co.uk/page/book/time_and_fate/|title=time and fate - Polperro Heritage Press, Publisher, Worcestershire|work=polperropress.co.uk|accessdate=22 February 2015}}</ref>

In 2010, he published ''Where the Power Lies'', analysing the relationship between past governments and the media. The book was published before the [[News International phone hacking scandal|phone-hacking scandal of 2010]], and argued that successive British governments had been too close to powerful media interests, including [[Rupert Murdoch]]'s [[News Corporation (1980–2013)|News Corporation]]. Price called for greater transparency about relationships between journalists and politicians.

On 15 January 2015, Hodder & Stoughton announced Price's fourth book, ''[[The Modi Effect]]'', an account of [[Prime Minister of India|Indian Prime Minister]] [[Narendra Modi]]'s successful [[Bharatiya Janata Party campaign for the 2014 Indian general election|election campaign in 2014]]. It was described as the "story of Modi's rise to power", which argued that "message-management and IT wizardry combined to create an election winning machine of fascinating power".<ref>{{cite book|url=http://www.booktopia.com.au/the-modi-effect-lance-price/prod9781473610903.html;jsessionid=28E0DB765FAD2597C4BBDFBF5158AB3C |title=Booktopia - The Modi Effect, Inside Narendra Modi's Campaign to Transform India by Lance Price, 9781473610903.

==Reception==
Lance Price was called to give evidence to a Select Committee of the [[British House of Commons|House of Commons]] in January 2006, in response to his first publication of ''The Spin Doctor's Diary''.<ref>[http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2005/s1482916.htm Political diary gets mixed reaction in the UK], [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]], 14 October 2005.</ref> The book caused considerable controversy when the British government tried to block its publication.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2005/jul/19/uk.politicalbooks|title=Ex spin doctor's book faces ban|author=Julian Glover|work=The Guardian|accessdate=22 February 2015}}</ref> He also stated that [[Rupert Murdoch]] was the 24th member of Tony Blair's cabinet.

Despite the initial and ongoing controversy, ''The Spin Doctor's Diary'' was shortlisted for Political Book of the Year in the Channel 4 News Awards of 2006. In 2008, it was named by ''[[GQ Magazine]]'' as one of the top 50 political books of all time. [[Matthew Parris]] of ''[[The Times]]'' called the book "sensational".<ref>{{cite book|title=Spin Doctor's Diary: Amazon.co.uk: Lance Price: 9780340898222: Books|id={{ASIN|0340898224|country=uk}}}}</ref> It was criticised by [[Rafael Behr]] in ''[[The Observer]]'' for not taking us "close enough to the personalities or even the underlying motives of Campbell or Blair". However, [[Sir Stephen Wall]], a former advisor to Blair, said that "Lance Price was right to publish, and should not be damnned".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lanceprice.co.uk/books.htm|title=Books - LancePrice.co.uk|work=lanceprice.co.uk|accessdate=22 February 2015}}</ref> [[Boris Johnson]], the then [[Mayor of London]], reacted in his diary in the ''[[New Statesman]]'': "Lance Price is a turd".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newstatesman.com/node/151636/|title=Diary - Boris Johnson|work=newstatesman.com|accessdate=22 February 2015}}</ref>

Price's second book, ''Time and Fate'' received generally favourable reviews: with ''Progress Magazine'' emphasising "The strong characterisation and compelling plotline [which] make ''Time and Fate'' a welcome, gripping page-turner…. a refreshingly engaging [[political fiction|political novel]] in its own right." ''[[The Sunday Times]]'' said it was "the corking political novel that Blair's Britain so badly needs".<ref name="polperropress.co.uk"/>

Price's third book, ''Where Power Lies'', received positive reviews by critics. ''[[The Guardian]]'' described it as "witty, well informed and extremely readable".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2010/feb/27/where-power-lies-lance-price|title=Where Power Lies: Prime Ministers v The Media by Lance Price|work=The Guardian|accessdate=22 February 2015}}</ref> [[Progress (organisation)|Progress]], a [[Blairism|Blairite]] think-tank, described it as a "thoughtful reflection on the balance of roles between the Prime Ministers and the Media,"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.progressonline.org.uk/2010/03/04/where-the-power-lies/|title=Where the power lies | work=progressonline.org.uk | accessdate=22 February 2015}}</ref> regarding its focus on Blair's relationship with the media, and how and why future Labour leaders could draw inspiration from it. [[Rod Liddle]] argued it was "required reading for those on both sides" in the ''[[Sunday Times]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/culture/books/non_fiction/article196796.ece|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150222043250/http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/culture/books/non_fiction/article196796.ece|url-status=dead|archive-date=22 February 2015|title=Where Power Lies: Prime Ministers v the Media by Lance Price - The Sunday Times|work=thesundaytimes.co.uk|accessdate=22 February 2015}}</ref> [[Total Politics]] reviewer Peter Riddle surmises that Price places the media question "firmly in its historical context".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.totalpolitics.com/print/4108/book-reviews-spinning-around-for-a-long-time.thtml|title=Book Reviews: Spinning around for a long time|work=totalpolitics.com|accessdate=22 February 2015|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150222054100/http://www.totalpolitics.com/print/4108/book-reviews-spinning-around-for-a-long-time.thtml|archivedate=22 February 2015}}</ref> ''[[The Financial Times]]'''s [[John Lloyd (journalist)|John Lloyd]] described the book as an "elegant and well grounded survey of relations between premieres and the press in the UK over the past century".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/1c8e6940-1ce5-11df-aef7-00144feab49a.html|title=Power and the press|work=Financial Times|accessdate=22 February 2015}}</ref>

Price's fourth book, ''[[The Modi Effect]]'', was a critical assessment of the first election campaign of the Indian Prime minister, although Price made clear he would not have voted for Modi if he had been able to vote himself. The ''[[Times of India]]'' wrote that Price had "written the definitive account of the campaign that got Modi to where he is now. He tells a good story".<ref>{{cite book|url=https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/lance-price-3/the-modi-effect/9781473610910/|title=The Modi Effect by Lance Price - Reviews|work=www.hachette.co.uk|isbn=9781473610910|accessdate=1 September 2021|last1=Price|first1=Lance}}</ref>

Price's fifth book, ''Petrified'', was a children's story; he donated the proceeds to the Jo Cox Foundation.

==Broadcaster, lecturer and political commentator==
Since leaving the employment of the Labour Party, Price has become an observer of [[British politics]] and world affairs, retaining his membership of the party, as he confirmed during an interview on [[BBC Radio 5 Live|BBC Radio 5]] with [[Richard Bacon (broadcaster)|Richard Bacon]] on 11 February 2010.

Price is a regular commentator on British and world politics on the [[BBC News (TV channel)|BBC News Channel]], [[Sky News]], [[BBC Radio]] and other outlets. Since leaving politics, he has appeared as a panellist on the BBC's ''[[Question Time (TV programme)|Question Time]]'', and been interviewed on all leading news and current affairs programmes, including ''[[Panorama (British TV programme)|Panorama]]'', ''[[Newsnight]]'', ''[[Channel Four News]]'' and ''[[Dispatches (TV programme)|Dispatches]]'', ''[[The Today Programme]]'', ''[[The World at One]]'', ''[[PM (BBC Radio 4)|PM]]'' and ''[[The World Tonight]]''.

Price was a panellist during the [[2010 United Kingdom general election|2010 general election]] campaign for the BBC News Channel and ''The World Tonight'' on [[BBC Radio 4]]. He has taken an increasingly independent line on political affairs, and was one of the first to call for [[Gordon Brown]] to step down as Prime Minister after Labour's election defeat in May 2010.

In September 2014, he published an article in the ''Independent'' criticising the then Labour leader [[Ed Miliband]]'s perceived paranoia of [[Tony Blair]], and attacking his often "too late" communication style.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/ed-miliband-is-so-scared-of-becoming-tony-blair-he-has-forgotten-how-to-communicate-9748613.html|title=Ed Miliband is so scared of becoming Tony Blair he has forgotten how to communicate|work=The Independent|accessdate=22 February 2015}}</ref>

==The Kaleidoscope Trust==
In September 2011, Price launched [[The Kaleidoscope Trust]], a UK-based organisation that aims to improve [[LGBT]] rights overseas. The Trust aims to work with existing LGBT rights groups in order to advance their respective campaigns.<ref>Saeed Kamali Dehghan, [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/sep/12/kaleidoscope-tackles-homophobic-violence 'Africa and Middle East in spotlight as group launched to tackle homophobia'], ''[[The Guardian]]'', 12 September 2011</ref> The launch was hosted by [[Speaker of the House of Commons (United Kingdom)|Speaker of the House of Commons]] [[John Bercow]] MP, who acknowledged the "global challenge" with regard to advancing LGBT rights outside of the UK.

[[David Cameron]], the then [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Prime Minister]], endorsed the project: "In some countries, it's simply appalling how people can be treated – how their rights are trampled on and the prejudices, and even violence, they suffer. So I want Britain to be a global beacon for reform. That's why I am delighted to send my best wishes to Kaleidoscope, and wish them well in their work".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2011/09/12/new-charity-kaleidoscope-to-support-gays-and-lesbians-abroad/|title=David Cameron backs new international gay rights charity|work=PinkNews|accessdate=22 February 2015}}</ref>

Labour's [[Leader of the Opposition (United Kingdom)|Leader of the Opposition]], [[Ed Miliband]], described the Trust as "an incredibly important initiative".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kaleidoscopetrust.com/Press/Kaleidoscope-press-release-14-9-11.pdf|title=News Release: Commons Speaker Launches Kaleidoscope|accessdate=14 September 2011|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120402120818/http://www.kaleidoscopetrust.com/Press/Kaleidoscope-press-release-14-9-11.pdf|archivedate=2 April 2012}}</ref>
