BUMP
We need more votes on this proposal:
I think it would be a good idea to have a stickied thread on the front page with links to the current versions of General Discussion threads, many of them tend to be forgotten and new topics set up on small stuff. It would give more order and continuity if they were used more - also more user friendly IMO.
And hopefully a comment from the mods.
I think it's a good idea, especially because the bolded is true. As well this:
However, I'm not sure if I have enough interest in posting in the Spain thread. Actually, I'm the only one who is updating that from time to time and it's boring. It's not because of the lack of potentially interesting issues. Some examples:
- Huge corruption scandal involving PP, PSOE, IU and trade union members in the board of management of Caja Madrid, a savings bank which merged in Bankia, conglomerate which was subject of a state bailout by an amount of 20 billion euros. Among the involved: Miguel Blesa, who is a personal friend of José María Aznar and presided Caja Madrid for 13 years; and Rodrigo Rato, who presided the new conglomerate by recommendation of Mariano Rajoy, former minister of Economy with Aznar and former managing director of the IMF.
- The Catalan mess. There's already a thread for the projected referendum, now transformed into an informal "survey". Interesting and rather confusing developments in Catalan politics.
- Podemos is holding the founding convention this weekend in order to become in a political party. It's around 17% or 18% in the last polls. There are two opposing sides debating their proposals before the Podemos' Civic Assembly.
