power hungry party leaders

like ms merkel who has got the chancellorship of germany, whilst at the same time whose right wing parties (who won the election just about) 'compromised' and have none of their planned tax cuts going through, and theyre having a rise in VAT


how lovely, her desperation for power has meant shes given up all hope of actually carrying out her manifesto...... (even if i thought she was barmy bringing in a flat tax or general income tax cut) - the new coalitoin government, won't even contemplate reducing the power of their trade union

and the VAT increases will apparantly help their economy :s it only screws over the low income people


effectively, we're got the same social democrat government with a different leader

It's amazing how european politics works

Congrats to the social democrats for winning an election without winning

    Its a fine example of the problem with PR, when you vote you're never quite sure what you're going to get.
