Editorial: First Minister, Why Not Use the Powers that You Have to Fix the Welsh Economy?
Wales First Minister Carwyn Jones (Labour) was in London on Monday lobbying for greater powers to manage the country’s energy resources. His claim is that Wales loses up to £300 million pounds annually without them. Just three months after the devolution referendum for extra powers, the Welsh Government’s noses are back in the trough for [...]
Another UK Election Where Nobody Really Wins? Welsh Labour 30 Seats; Everybody Else 30 Seats
Let the bargaining begin. And blame the tiny constituency of Aberconwy for keeping Labour from a 31-seat majority. On 30 seats, one short, the question now is how will this play itself out next week?

In Arizona’s desert, accidental Governor Jan Brewer refused to answer reporters’ [...]
Pouty Progressives? Stop Partying Like It’s 2000!
By Denis Campbell Hey! UK (and US) Progressives, get fully in the fight while there is still something left to fight for! In 2008 in the USA you won historic majorities and were told to fix things. Instead you acted like cats trying to be herded out on the prairie’s big round-up. With everything else [...]
Dutch Election Decided by Whisker, Avoids Chaos of a Draw!
By Denis Campbell So much for Dutch tolerance! For much of the night the Liberal (VVD) and Labour (PvdA) parties stood deadlocked at 31 seats each. Now with 99.6% of the vote counted, Labour has lost one more seat and Mark Rutte looks to be successor to the Christian Democrats (CDA) Minister-President Jan Peter Balkenende [...]
