Wow Moiraine, I am impressed with your knowledge and understanding of politics, but especially how you manged to explain it clearly in a foreign language! Truly amazing. The political situation in the UK is far more straight forward, as there are only 2 main parties with any serious chance and coalitions very rare. Here the left has moved towards the centre as has the right and frequently have similar goals, but usually prefer to have petty squabbles instead. Our election is probably going to be in May, when Labour, the supposedly Left party, seem certain to win again. The only interesting thing will be by what margin, as it is generally felt it will be reduced since last time. Frankly I am not political, as they all promise much and fulfill little. I suppose I favour the left, but I don't vote the same way every time, but try to vote for the party I believe will be the best for the country, but frequently people here vote for the one that will give them a few pounds more to spend on cigs and booze in the short-turn, rather than considering the long term picture. If we paid politicians on results not promises, I think the world would be a better place and there would be far more money to spend on the rest!
