Despite the bold prediction Denzil Douglas led the ruling
Labour Party to a 4th successive term in office in January this year.
He may have to get in touch with Gordon Brown to give him a few tips before our election on May 6th!
What else can one do on election night, but grab a twelve pack and listen to the wind howl while a slow fire keeps the workshop comfortable.
B.C. ELECTION 2020
• While the Liberals and the NDP beat up on each others’ leaders, the Greens are taking a slightly different approach to this campaign, according to a Postmedia analysis of the major parties’ social media feeds.
• John Horgan promised a re-elected NDP government would commit to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, a promise that builds on the existing CleanBC plan developed in partnership with the Green caucus. But Green Leader Sonia Furstenau said the net-zero emission promise is meaningless without a plan for how to get there.
• The NDP took a risk calling an election, but recent polls seem to indicate it was a risk worth taking. In a survey by Ipsos, released Tuesday, voters were asked point blank whether they approved of the early election and 46 per cent said they did not. But only a small fraction of those polled said the concern was enough to give them pause in considering whether to vote NDP.

This is the first time in many of our lives that we're actually voting FOR a candidate we believe in, rather than AGAINST the shittier of two shitty options.

During the campaign, President Obama argued that his election would help restore the image the rest of the world has of United States.
In the six months since his election, his approval ratings at home have slipped, though they remain high. Around the rest of the world, opinion is mixed. A recent study by WorldPublicOpinion.org asked people in 21 countries whether they had confidence that Obama would “do the right thing” when it came to world affairs. Our latest Transparency is a look at their responses.

I guess I should add a proper description. Canada had an election yesterday, after the govt. fell 8 weeks ago, for contempt of Parliament. The Prime Minister was reelected with a majority, but with a huge shift in the opposition. Our NDP, New Democratic Party, swept the Liberals into oblivion, to become the new opposition. Things should be very interesting going forward.
So happy! My friends from Fame cards printed my elections serie in 3 beautifully executed 105/155 mm free cards, distributed in their network. There is one month until the elections, i hope they will get good public attention. Thank you Fame:)

The heat of the election day is in the air. Everyone been fighting by putting up their party's flag.
Paris's Art Nouveau ironwork always delights me. I've been trying to get a shot of one of these wonderfully decorated Metro stops for a while. This photo also captures the fact that I was in Paris during the recent elections. I like the combination of words on the signs in the background.

We'll have an election tomorrow (29 July 2007). It's for the House of Councillors. At elections, all the posters should be put on this official board, according to the election laws.
[UPDATE: 30 July 2007]
The results came over night. Of the twenty candidates in Tokyo (some of them don't have their posters on this board), five are elected, whom I've marked as "notes" on the picture. The largest opposition, the Liberal Party (LJP), took two out of five. One seat went to an incubent member from the Komei Party, which is no surprise. An independent candidate, Mr Kawada, took one seat. And surprisingly, the LDP failed to get their incubent member through but the newbie-cutie Ms Marukawa did win a seat.
Overall, the election's result is a sweet victory for the Liberal Party of Japan. At the same time, it is a nightmare for the the governing Liberal Democrat Party, who are not liberal or democratic in my view. They have lost the control of the Upper House for the first time in fifteen years or so. This must be hard, even if not unbearable, for the prime minister Shinzo Abe, who is a grandson of Nobusuke Kishi (a war criminal) and Kan Abe (a pre-war era pacifist), and a son of a former foreign minister.
The Financial Times has published a good article, "Japan’s voters give Abe a thrashing":
www.ft.com/cms/s/620ca81e-3dfa-11dc-8f6a-0000779fd2ac.html
According to the reports, the turnout was 58.64 per cent, which is relatively high -- you may have read how Japanese voters are lazy, and it is sadly true. Shinzo Abe's arrogant government has "reformed" educational principles, and wants to "reform" our constitution, which will change Japan for ever, but less than 60 per cent of voters had their say. Don't say it's "because the Japanese are shy" or "they can't say no". 40 per cent are not interested. 40 per cent do not think their votes would change anything. I think this is what is called "apathy".
The left-wingers, the Social Democrats and the Communist Party, are now totally marginalised. Their decline bagan years ago, but this time, it's ultimate. I think they should have joined together if they were to defend the Article Nine. Both the LDP and the LJP are willing to get rid of the Article Nine, while the majority of the Japanese people want to keep it (according to a recent poll).

Students showed their patriotic spirit while watching the live presidential election results at the election night party.
The guy in the suit came up to me and the people I was with (also foreigners) and said in English "I am comedian!" So...he was a comedian. But it's election season, so it had something to do with that too...
Last sunday was our election day. We voted our new parliament. I hoped for a change but sadly the party of Chancellor Merkel won again. Good was that her current coalition partner, the liberals, aren't represented in the new parliament again and so Merkel has no majority in the new plenum.
There would be the possibility that Merkel has to go in the opposition, but this only happens when the social democrats, the greens and the left party make a coalition. Sadly the social democrats and the greens don't want to work together with the left party and so it seems that Merkel will stay our Chancellor for the next four years... fucking hell!
