UK Elections
The SNP is the largest Party is the Scottish Parliament, 47 seats, Labour 46, Conservatives 17 and the LibDems 16. In the Welsh Assembly, Labour 26, Plaid Cymru 15, Conservatives 12 and the LibDems 6. Labour with the LibDems should run the Assembly for the next four years. The opposition parties don't have the political backbone to form a government without Labour.
Gordon Brown has done a vanishing act, and he is our next Prime Minister. The BBC could not even find him and the BBC has the Licence Fee. That's the problem when your a Scottish MP and your Country just might want a divorce from the rest of the UK.
More Debate Articles - The Republicans
Some interesting articles on the Republicans Presidential Race. VIEWS has not made up his mind on who he supports in the race, its only May 2007!!
Washington Post, on the whole the article is right in its analyses of the debate, no one became another Ronald Reagan, its only the first debate.
National Review , a look at the format and the how the Candidates matched each other, no real winner again.
Newsweek, the article is critical of the debate as there was no forward thinking in its view of the future for the Republicans.

Not a Reagan but then WHO?
The Republican field is minus one man of course that is President Ronald Reagan, Reagan was a man of his time but also a man who could see beyond, a man who said in 1976 when in discussion about the USSR, " We Win they lose " a man who could call the USSR an Evil Empire but could also stand in Red Square and state the Cold War was over in many respects, it was just a matter of working out the details. Reagan is gone but what he stood for, small government, low taxes, strong military, good relationship with allies but also take action when needed is a good road map for Republicans. The President who removed troops from Lebanon after a terrorist attack but then invaded another country that was falling to Cuban Communism, Reagan was pragmatic but also a risk taker, this is also a good road map for the Republicans. The Republican Party is looking for another Reagan, it still has time and some candidates have not entered the race so far, a week is a long time in politics.
Democrats Hole in One!!
The Democrats are playing games with the funding of American Troops, they think that 500 hundred law makers are better at strategy than the President and the Pentagon. It is a mistake on every level, military and political. The Democrats are caught in a fix, if they want to win in 2008 they have to fund the troops with no strings or President Bush will Veto any Bill. They don't have the Votes to overturn a Presidential Veto. On the other hand the Democratic Party is in hoc to the left wing and their money. Thus while good men and women die for their country the Democratic Party is more concerned with keeping the left wing happy, when did the Democratic Party lose its political ability it gained under President Bill Clinton. In pure politics Bill Clinton won in 1992 and 1996 by being in the centre, the Democratic Party is heading to the left, a pure political soul is good but winning that matters, the Democrats are reading the elections of 06 as their guide, bad political mistake, the United States is 50 states not just the Liberal States, if they are not careful the Democrats might be heading the way of the Labour Party in 1983. A pure political soul is good, but winning is all.
