The scientific case for action is urgent. The sooner the West decarbonises its economy the better, for our security and for our fragile economies - balanced precipitously as they are... more

- Morgan Tsvangirai put his supporters before himself when he pulled out of the Zimbabwean elections. He won the first round but that did not agree with the ruling regime. Somthing similar happened recently in Ireland, where the Irish people rejected the Lisbon Treaty. This result too did not agree with the ruling regime. They will have to vote... more

"I will not be voting," Terrence Mukumba, a Harare-based bank employee, told Reuters. "I think it does not make sense to vote when one of the candidates has... more

- It’s become increasingly obvious recently that the journey towards the gilded throne of the American Presidency involves the shredding of whatever principles a candidate might possess. True to form, Barack Obama has been busily putting any vestigial conscience through the mangle of the US party political machine, emerging the monster that the... more

- London’s election results don’t inspire a great deal of hope for the future of democracy. Along with an unapologetic casual racist for mayor, we now have a fascist on the Assembly.
