Thread of Griping and Such Things

Election is still in two years, no ? Well, I know Gillard has only a two seat majority, but I've not heard about the possibility of a dissolution so far.

I hope we'll be spared from crazy Abbott.

Cameron, Key, Harper and Abbott would be like an Anglosphere of Doom.

Seriously? John Key has been a wonderful Prime Minister in New Zealand.

France is almost certain to go socialist next year and Ireland has swung strongly to the left. Germany is swinging left as well these days.

France actually seems to be swinging towards the far right with the success Marine LePen is having. The Socialists are probably going to blow another presidential election seeing as they have already lost their strongest candidate in a sex scandal. Whether or not LePen is elected president is another story, but who would have thought five years ago that the Front National, True Finns, Danish People's Party, and PVV would actually be having a decent shot at government.

Anybody who thinks Marine will become President is a retard.

No one is suggesting that, but I'm saying she is a legitimate contender for the second round of voting. A Socialist could win, but the left has a bad habit of shooting themselves in the foot with presidential elections.
