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.

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:)

It's Election Day in Utah. Utah is the last state in the nation to hold it's primary election. Keven Stratton's old London Transport bus used in the Orem Summerfest parade has been running around town today getting in a last minute bit of electioneering. Makes a great driving billboard. Opponent Taz Murray's approach seems more conventional.
The heat of the election day is in the air. Everyone been fighting by putting up their party's flag.
See notes for more details.
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).

We are in the midst of a General Election. It is no secret that we have had a dreadful few years with more to come.
Ireland requires a leader with the wisdom of Solomon, the oratory skills of President Kennedy, Martin Luther King, John Kavanagh and Richard Burton combined, the fortitude of Mandela, the strength of character of Anne Delvin, the conviction of Parnell, the business acumen of Michael O' Leary, the foresight of Lemass, the negotiation skills of Ahern, the balls of Haughey, and a love of Ireland shown by those that rose up and fought for her independence.
The Second Coming
W. B. Yeats
"Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all convictions, whilst the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some relevation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in the sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?"
As a non-native Chicagoan, I am still very much encouraged that democracy can take place in a multicultural context, because sadly there are definitely places where a poster like this would be greeted with protest.
The elections here in the Philippines.... it's more like the circus actually... politicians bickering... protestors everywhere... cheating... its the same scenario everytime.
This stencil is painted on the fence in Ann Arbor where Kingsley turns the corner onto First street. Longtime townies will smile at the the reference: For many decades there was a hand-lettered sign on this same wall, reading "McGovern for Truth."
For you youngsters out there, George McGovern was the Democratic presidential candidate in 1972, attempting to defeat incumbent Richard Nixon on an anti-Vietnam-war platform. For many idealistic young people of the time, it was a rare moment when a national political figure seemed sympathetic to their views.
McGovern was trounced in the election. Yet in later years, each time this fence was repainted some unknown, sentimental townie would sneak over and refresh the McGovern sign too. Eventually, the sign disappeared for good.
It's great to see hope come back.
