Mining tax hangs in the balance after polls Australia's proposed mining tax may be scrapped after the incumbent Labor Party failed to win a clear majority in the federal election. "If the Liberals were to form a government, there would be no mining tax," said Peter Chilton, a fund manager at Constellation Capital Management. "That's potentially positive for the mining sector.

Latest poll indicates Australian Opposition to win election Australian Opposition Leader Tony Abbott will be Australia's next prime minister if the result of the latest opinion poll is played out on election day, Labor Party said on Sunday.
A Galaxy poll found the two-party preferred vote for the coalition was 51.4 percent to Labor's 48.6 percent.
ABC election analyst Antony Green said serious errors had been committed by whoever calculated the poll's two-party preferred vote.
The government, however, was taking seriously the poll's finding.

Yes, striking is a human right | Keith Ewing A fistful of international treaties enshrine our right to strike – the real question is why people don't do it more oftenThe bitter dispute between BA and Unite has had an extraordinary impact. Together with the PCS strikes in the civil service and the rail strikes announced by RMT for the Easter weekend, it has generated questions about the nature and purpose of industrial action in modern Britain, with all its disruptive consequences.Some of these issues were considered earlier this week in an excruciating recording of the BBC's Moral Maze on whether the right to strike is a human right. It was awful, not just because it reheated myths about the 1970s, and not just because it wheeled out relics of the 1980s who yapped away about the common law and other such nonsense.What was missing from that discussion was the simple answer to the question the programme posed. So let me provide it now. The answer is yes, the right to strike is a human right. Why? Because a fistful of international treaties tell us so – international treaties that have been voluntarily accepted by successive British governments, and are binding on the UK.It begins with the International Labour Organisation's convention on the right to organise and bargain collectively of 1948, which a British Labour government was the first to ratify; followed by the Council of Europe's social charter of 1961, which a British Tory government was the first to ratify; followed, in turn, by the UN's international covenant on economic, social and cultural rights of 1966.The British government has been told by the international human rights community that it must relax the existing legal restrictions and stop treating a lawful strike as a breach (rather than a suspension) of the worker's contract of employment.

George Osborne shows once again that politics always trumps economics | Nicholas Watt Chancellor criticises British involvement in EU bailout fund he could have vetoed in MayGeorge Osborne was highly critical this morning of Alistair Darling's decision in May to sign Britain up to a €60bn EU bailout fund.This is what the chancellor told the Today programme:There is a smaller EU mechanism, what is called the European Union mechanism. I wasn't particularly happy that Britain signed up to that. That was my predecessor Alistair Darling who did that.But we are part of it and really now is not the time, when we are dealing with the very real practicalities of the Irish situation, to try and pull ourselves out of that. What I'm saying is that when we look at the permanent bailout mechanism let us make sure Britain is not part of that because we are not part of the euro, and the euro, in the end, has to work out how it is going to deal with these sort of situations in the future.What the chancellor chose not to say this morning was that he had a chance to veto Britain's involvement in the fund, which is the smallest element of a €750bn bailout mechanism agreed in May. Darling signed up to the fund at a meeting of EU finance minsters on Sunday 9 May – three days after the election.Although Labour had lost the election Darling represented Britain because a new government had not yet been formed at that stage. The meeting in Brussels took place while Osborne was sitting in the Cabinet Office negotiating a coalition with the Lib Dems.But Darling consulted Osborne and gave him a chance to veto his plans. Osborne waved him away, according to an account in Rob Wilson's book on the coalition negotiations:Osborne was called out of the talks to take a call from the chancellor, Alistair Darling, who was in Brussels with his European counterparts having talks about Greece a 首相は、EUの救済基金にイギリスの関与を、彼はMayGeorge Osborneさんで拒否権を発動したかもしれない批判€600億EUの救済fund.Thisまで英国に署名、5月に決定をアリスターダーリンの今朝の首相は今日のプログラムを言った非常に重要ですれました：あり欧州連合の機構と呼ばれるものより小さいEUの機構

Letters: Multiculturalism and national identity David Miliband is not strictly correct when he says that the third of the population who class themselves as ambivalent on the issue of multiculturalism identify with Labour (Insecurity is fuel for hate, 28 February). It would be more accurate to describe them as those who used to identify with Labour, as it was this group that deserted the party at the last election. As a Labour candidate I lost count of the number of times I heard when out canvassing that we had failed to get a grip on immigration – including from many ethnic minority voters. It is also a view reinforced by the fact that every time a Labour MP brings up these difficult issues, such as Margaret Hodge and housing allocation in 2007, or Jack Straw and sexual grooming earlier this year, they are always ostracised by liberal commentators.A key factor in making Labour electable again will be to come up with policies on immigration that reflect the economic insecurity that many communities now feel, regardless of race. Not doing this will simply leave the debate open to David Cameron, and the far right.Nicholas MiltonStratford-upon-Avon• David Miliband rightly highlights the need for people of all cultures to enjoy an authentic sense of identity, but surely that is not the point of difficulty in Britain today. The national sense of identity reveals itself through our media, our schools and many other institutions. If there are groups within society whose sense of alienation is a potential source of discontent, then we will not win them over by lectures about muscular liberalism, nor even by advocating a common identity which already exists. What is needed is to open a real social dialogue, which not only calls for those from minority cultures to recognise British identity, but also shows them that legendary デイヴィッドミリバンドは、厳密に彼は言うときに修正されていないクラス自体は、多文化主義の問題について態度を決めかねて労働と特定の人口の（不安は憎しみの燃料である2月28日）は、サードいることを確認します

Irish elections: a vote cast in anger | Editorial Enda Kenny would be wise to invite the Labour party into government rather than cobble together independentsFar, far worse than John Major's trouncing, the punishment voters have meted out on Fianna Fáil has one thing in common with it. The people have mastered the rules of the electoral game to redouble the force of their rejection. Just as Liberal Democrats and Labour people lent each other support in 1997, in line with the tactical requirements of ousting the Tories under first past the post, Ireland's voters made full use of the multiple preferences allowed under their system to shrink the representation of Micheál Martin's ruling party. Thus its losses exceed even what would have been expected after it mislaid a full two-thirds of its support.Until this weekend, Fianna Fáil was Europe's most successful electoral force – in power for three years in every four since modern politics got going, and for around 90% of the last quarter century. It reliably attracted around 40% of the poll in every national election; its fall from grace now is sudden and abject. Nowhere in the country was the party of De Valera the most popular choice, and it was left with only one seat of the 47 Dublin Dáil seats; capital punishment indeed. In the scramble to find a collapse to compare with this, analysts have been forced back two decades and across the Atlantic to Canada, where Kim Campbell's Progressive Conservatives experienced a remarkably similar loss of support to that of Fianna Fáil in the 1993 federal election, but lacking the Irish buffer of proportional representation they were reduced to just two seats as compared to Mr Martin's parliamentary rump of around 20.That example may cheer despondent Fianna Fáil hearts, particularly since the Canadian Tories have since regrouped and c エンダケニーは一緒にindependentsFar、はるかにメージャーの、懲罰の有権者はそれに一つの共通点を持ってFianna F3ailの上に割り当てアウトが敗北よりも悪い政府に労働党を招待するのではなく、礫が賢明でしょう
Irish election: Fianna Fail government routed, according to exit poll Enda Kenny, leader of Fine Gael, poised to become Ireland's prime minister if he can broker a deal with second-placed LabourIreland's largest ruling party, Fianna Fail, has suffered a huge election defeat just months after accepting a EU/IMF bailout, leaving its traditional rival Fine Gael on course to lead the country, according to an exit poll.Fine Gael's leader, Enda Kenny, is poised to become Ireland's new prime minister, but without an overall majority, the poll suggests. Kenny is most likely to look to the Labour party, which had its best-ever election results, to help form a new administration.According to RTE, Fine Gael took 36.1% of the vote, with Labour coming second with 20.5%.Fianna Fáil support is put at just 15.1%, by far its worst general election result and will mean a massive loss of seats across the country. Sinn Féin support is put at 10.1%, again a record in the Irish Republic, while the Greens are on 2.7%, which could see the party save some seats despite predictions they would be wiped out.Independents and others got 15.5% of the vote – a high figure thought to be spread quite thinly given the number of candidates. Where those votes transfer could be crucial to the final outcome of counts across 43 constituencies.The last RTE exit poll in 2007 proved to be 99% accurate when compared to the actual number of votes cast.The Independents combined have pushed Fianna Fail into fourth place – the party's worst performance since Eamon De Valera founded the party in the 1920s. In Dublin, Fianna Fail support barely hit 8%.After 15 hours of polling, it appears that far more people voted in this election than in the previous one in 2007.

Website blocking will not solve copyright concerns | Jim Killock Heavy-handed enforcement of copyright is not the answer when your real goal is to persuade people to pay for online servicesWebsite blocking is on the agenda again, this time in relation to copyright infringement. As reported in the Guardian last week, a government-led working group – including ministers and parties such as the BPI and Google – is to be formed to try to find a way of blocking websites that allegedly help people download songs or films without permission, avoiding potential litigation.While that might instantly conjure up Pirate Bay or Limewire in your mind, it could also include any site that hosts user-generated content, including services such as Rapidshare or Vimeo.Accurately distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate content generally needs to be done by a court. After all, no web service can police all of its users all of the time, and complaints from copyright holders are not enough to establish that a service is really trying to encourage infringement.Nevertheless, during the dying days of the Labour government, provisions in the Digital Economy Act to create powers to block websites suspected of copyright infringement were rushed through, throwing up fears of widespread and unfair website blocking. Even Yahoo, Google and Facebook were concerned. Now that the act's measures are under threat from legal action and long delays, rights holders are back lobbying for more government action.These groups capture headlines with claims of the massive costs of peer-to-peer file sharing. It has been reported that $1.5bn is lost to illicit downloads. However, academic studies almost universally contest these figures, such as the latest analysis by LSE, which argues that the recession and the decline of CDs as a format are the key factors troubling the あなたの本当の目的は、オンラインservicesWebsiteは、ブロッキングためにお金を払う人々を説得しているときに、再度議題に著作権侵害との関係で、今回されている著作権の重利き執行が答えではありません
Election 2010: Debt - A conspiracy of silence In the past week our politicians have put on their most serious faces and addressed the economy. They have got into a wrangle about National Insurance contributions. Labour wants to increase them; the Tories don't. A lot of heat has been generated, much ink spilt. What it suits none of them to tell you, though, is that such talk is tinkering at the margins. The debt that Britain faces is monstrous, and neither Tories nor Labour will admit it. They prefer to quibble about the small change than admit that they are taking part in, in effect, a conspiracy on the British people. To make it worse, much of the media is allowing them to get away with it, presumably because they think – as the politicians seem to believe – that the public doesn't want to hear the bad news. In short, we are complicit in a con. 政治家たちは、彼らの最も深刻な顔に入れている過去1週間と経済を解決

Letters: The right to protest and police tactics I commend Victoria Borwick for her comments about the Metropolitan police, although it is far too late (Video shows 'ghastly' kettling of students, 23 December). Having been caught in the kettle myself, I urge Commissioner Paul Stephenson to review the methods used. We simply cannot allow this situation to continue; police actions, such as hitting members of the public with shields and batons, were uncalled for. Protesters found out that the vote had passed in parliament and were entirely dispirited. People just wanted to go home and instead were crushed, left screaming and, in some cases, gasping for breath. The police force needs serious restructuring.Siraj DatooEditor, The Student Journals• I have just viewed the homemade video of police kettling tactics against student demonstrators. I fear that Britain is becoming a very frightening place if you happen to disagree with the ruling party line. It is now virtually impossible to sue a policeman for wrongful behaviour, as very few complaints are upheld by the Independent Police Complaints Commission, and of this few the Police Federation has a tendency to counterattack by suing people for defamation who dare to criticise the police. Under the last Labour government, a great deal of new legislation was passed to restrict lawful protest against unfair laws.When I first moved to France, over 20 years ago, I found the presence of the Compagnies 。épublicaines de Sécurité (riot police) at demonstrations disquieting. But I am certain that if the CRS had ever behaved as the British police did in this incident, there would have been a major public outcry. In 2005, when French policemen chased two youths into an electricity substation, resulting in their deaths, the row went on for months. Perhaps it is time someone reminded the それはあまりにも遅れているが、私は、首都圏警察についての彼女のコメントビクトリアボーウィックを称賛する（ビデオは12月23日、学生のkettling。。u0026#39;恐ろしい。。u0026#39;表示されます）

Letters: Opposition to Osborne's budget moves Labour should oppose any government plan to merge tax and national insurance (Warning over Osborne's plan to merge NI and income tax, 21 March). Such a move would close for ever the development of an alternative to the means-tested welfare which took such a huge leap under Gordon Brown's tax credit proposals to reach its apotheosis with Iain Duncan Smith's universal benefit.What research there is shows that the electorate do not regard national insurance as a tax, despite a bombardment by successive governments to undermine the insurance principle. Labour should resist the temptation to allow an easy passage for any such government plans, even with the potential big hit the government would take as voters saw the standard rate of tax increase from 20% to 32%.Labour instead needs to begin work on how the insurance system can be reformed so the strains which the global economy increasingly places on individuals and working families can be spread more equitably. Such an approach would draw on the ethical traditions of the party that have been allowed to lie dormant for too long. Such a major initiative by Ed Miliband will not only raise the spirits of party activists but will, I believe, begin to engage seriously with those 5 million voters Labour has lost since 1997.Frank Field MPLabour, Birkenhead• Mr Osborne wants to help holidaymakers who choose to contribute to foreign economies and not their own when on vacation (Air duty freeze in budget for 'squeezed middle', 21 March).

Women in management: Calculated risk | Editorial Quotas are not the whole answer to the problem of low female representation in the boardroom – but they're a startThe spotlight of public attention is on one of its regular sweeps over women in management. This week a City figure comes out against quotas as a way of increasing the proportion of women in the boardroom. Lord Davies of Abersoch, commissioned by the government to recommend action to raise the number of female directors in top companies, wants monitoring and transparency. A second report will probably show that women just aren't trying to get the top jobs. For another of the week's headlines is that women are self-limiting. Lack of confidence and ambition, not a lack of opportunity, the Institute for Leadership and Management says, explains why barely one in eight directors of FTSE 100 companies are women. But here is the odd one out. An LSE report earlier this month found that nearly three-quarters of women under 24 anticipate starting their own business. Put the three reports together, and maybe a truer picture of what is going on will emerge.First, quotas are not the whole answer: in pioneering Norway, the number of women directors has fallen back from nearly half to less than 40% amid reports that quotas have led to personally damaging appointments. Some women Labour MPs might sympathise with the nightmarish consequences of being propelled into high-visibility, high-risk roles with inadequate preparation and a noisy mob willing you to fail. But they should be consoled by the evidence that quotas have also been transformative. They have broken a vicious circle. Theresa May and Yvette Cooper can take each other on across the dispatch box without anyone discussing their appearance.

Small firms and the housing market to benefit in austerity Budget Small businesses and the housing market are expected to receive help in this week's Budget, but the Chancellor is concentrating on measures that involve little cash outlay. Although pledging to ease planning restrictions and promote growth industries, George Osborne is determined not to be swayed from his objective of bringing down Britain's deficit. He will maintain his policy of austerity, knowing that this may be the last time he can blame the Labour government for his tough stance. 中小企業や住宅市場は、今週の予算で支援を受けると予想される首相は、ほとんど現金支出を伴う対策に専念している
Party politics, Australian rules | Martin Kettle The Labor party was ruthless in replacing Kevin Rudd. If only British Labour had such moxy and had dumped Gordon BrownTwenty seven years ago, the Australian Labor party acted with a ruthlessness that was remembered around the world for a generation to come, when it removed the lacklustre Bill Hayden as its leader and instated the more popular Bob Hawke on the very eve of a general election. Hawke won by a landslide and Labor became the dominant force in Australian politics for the next decade and more.The Hawke scenario was not lost on those in the British Labour party, which spent much of the years from 2008-10 hoping to remove Gordon Brown and install a more voter-friendly leader before the 2010 election in Britain. There was plenty of talk. And there was some action, too – the David Milliband semi-challenge of 2008, the James Purnell resignation in 2009 and the abortive Patricia Hewitt-Geoff Hoon call to arms at the start of this year.How long ago it all seems. Needless to say, the British Labour party preferred inaction to action. The least ruthless political party in Britain plodded doggedly to its inevitable defeat under its bad and unpopular leader.Now, the Australians have done it again. And with a cold-eyed, self-interested ruthlessness that puts the British Labour party utterly to shame. Kevin Rudd was many things that Gordon Brown was not. He was a big election winner, leading Labor to a landslide win in 2007 after the John Howard years. He was more popular with the voters than his party was – even at the start of this year, Rudd's ratings outdistanced Labor's.In the last six months, though, Labor has been on the wrong end of a political convulsion over carbon emissions trading. Both party and leader have slumped, leaving Rudd an unpopular leader liable to dr 労働党は、冷酷なケビンラッドを交換していた

The government must maintain the UK's leadership on aid | Harriet Harman The decision to freeze aid will mean £2.2bn less for schools, malaria and vaccines that save livesThe UK government publishes the results of its reviews into the UK's aid programme today. As things change around the world of course it is right to review our aid priorities and how that money is spent. But what must not change is the government's commitment to spend 0.7% of our gross national income (GNI) on aid by 2013. That was promised in both the Conservative and Liberal Democrat manifestos and in the coalition agreement. The secretary of state for international development, Andrew Mitchell, must confirm that the 0.7%/2013 commitment will not be the government's next broken promise. He must resist those who urge the government to abandon this pledge and must campaign vigorously to show that aid matters, it saves lives and it works. The girls and boys sitting at school desks in Bangladesh, the women who no longer have to walk for miles to fetch water in Nigeria and the millions of children who no longer die from preventable diseases are the proof of that.The government has already decided to freeze aid as a percentage of GNI for the next two years. That freeze will mean £2.2bn less for people in the poorest countries of the world. That money could have been used to build schools, for malaria nets and life-saving vaccinations for millions of children. After 13 years in which the Labour government tripled the aid budget, reversing the cuts of the previous Tory government, and led the world in giving greater priority to tackling global poverty, that decision to freeze aid risks undermining the UK's leadership.As well as keeping to the 0.7%/2013 aid promise the government must keep the spirit of that promise.Andrew Mitchell must protect the Department for International Dev 援助を凍結するという決定は£ 22。学校、マラリアワクチンlivesThe英国政府は、今日、英国の援助プログラムに、そのレビューの結果を発表保存以下を意味します

Letters: Last call for Labour leader support My friends at Operation Black Vote and previously the Labour party black sections have worked their butts off to help increase the number of African Caribbean and Asian members of parliament. As a result the figure has risen from 15 at the last election to 27 in May. After Diane Abbott announced that – in the interest of racial and gender diversity – she would stand in the all-male, pale and stale leadership contest, I expected most of our MPs to back her (Editorial, 8 June). That was what black Congress people in the US did when Barack Obama threw his hat into the ring.But no. Diane has been able to muster just three nominations from her sisters and brothers; those of black sections stalwart Keith Vaz, David Lammy, a neighbouring MP, and just one of the newcomers, Chinyelu Onwurah. Diane's four other nominations come from white MPs. Acting leader Harriet Harman said she would stay neutral in the vote, but bravely urged her comrades in parliament to follow her example and nominate Diane to ensure there is at least one woman candidate. Hot favourites, the Miliband brothers have already passed the 33 nominations threshold. Of the black MPs, David Miliband has garnered the support of former minister Virendra Sharma, and newbies Anas Sarwar, Valerie Vaz and Yasmin Qureshi. And his mildly more leftwing brother Ed has won over Chuka Umunna, Lisa Nandy and Sadiq Khan. Ed Balls is backed by Marsha Singh and Khalid Mahmood.Three black MPs remain undecided: Mark Hendrick, Rushanara Ali and Shabana Mahmood. I hope, if only in the name of sisterly solidarity, that Rushanara and Shabana side with Diane, as nominations end today. The black MPs have got to learn how to play big people's politics. You get no respect from white folk by being disunited. If the black MPs had all nominated 動作ブラック投票での私の友人や、以前は。労働党黒セクションでは、アフリカカリブ海、議会のアジアのメンバーの数を増やすためにその尻をオフにしてきました

Greece is the first domino to fall, but are others far behind? At the mercy of the speculators, Greece had two choices: go the IMF now or go laterAnd so to the final act of the Greek tragedy. Stricken by recession and at the mercy of the speculators, Athens has decided enough is enough and decided to seek help from the International Monetary Fund. That's not the way the Greek government would have it, of course. It said that it simply wanted to clarify what was on offer, ironing out the technical details and so forth. But make no mistake, this is a pivotal moment.Having set the IMF hare running, Greece will have to get assistance from the hit squad that will be sent in from 19th Street in Washington DC or face retribution from the bond markets. In the end, the only choice is between having the IMF now or having the IMF later, when the situation will be worse.Yet, it is not hard to see why the Greeks are so reluctant to call in the European Union, the European Central Bank and the IMF. History suggests there will be a heavy price to pay; not just in terms of draconian cuts in public spending, not just in a sharp increase in unemployment, but in the political humiliation associated with an IMF package.In Britain, the memories of the 1976 spending cuts imposed by the IMF in response to a sterling crisis traumatised the Labour party for decades afterwards. Only Black Wednesday in September 1992, when the pound was swept out of the exchange rate mechanism by George Soros, bears comparison in the pantheon of postwar economic disasters.The nations of south-east Asia felt much the same way when a crisis was visited upon them in 1997. Thailand, South Korea and Indonesia went cap in hand to the IMF and were forced to accept draconian spending cuts. Scarred by the experience, they drew up plans for an Asian Monetary Fund, only to see them st 投機筋の慈悲では、ギリシャが2つの選択肢：今すぐIMFに行くので、ギリシャ悲劇の最終的な行為にlaterAnd行きました

Ireland's Fine Gael and Labour set to enter coalition Agreement reached after talks between the parties went on into the early hoursFine Gael and Labour are inching closer to an agreement on forming the next government in Dublin.Labour delegates are meeting in the city this afternoon to endorse a plan to enter into coalition with Enda Kenny's party.The special delegate conference is taking place at University College Dublin, while Fine Gael will hold a meeting of its members at the Shelbourne hotel.Talks between Kenny and Labour leader Eamon Gilmore went on to 1am on Sunday and afterwards both parties said they had concluded an agreement.Gilmore said he intends to recommend the package to the Labour delegate conference. He stressed that final drafting work on the proposed programme for government was continuing.Gilmore said how many ministers each party would have would be decided before Wednesday.Neither leader would say what timetable had been agreed to reduce the budget deficit to 3% of GDP, which was a key area of difference in the parties' approach to economic recovery during the election campaign.Fine Gael believes Ireland should adhere to the conditions set down by the International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank, which want to see Ireland drive down its national debt by 2014. During the election campaign, however, Labour said it would prefer a target of 2016 to give the economy more time to recover from the recession and the impact of severe cuts in public spending.If both parties back the agreement, Kenny will be elected taoiseach on Wednesday and Gilmore will become tánaiste (deputy prime minister).

Support dwindles for Fianna Fáil in runup to Ireland's general election Hours before voting begins in Irish Republic, the outgoing ruling party drops to a historically low 14% in opinion pollsIreland's outgoing ruling party Fianna Fáil has slipped further in the latest opinion poll, with only 48 hours to go before the Irish Republic's most crucial general election for decades.Fianna Fáil's support has dropped two percentage points to a historically low 14%, according to the Millward Brown Landsdowne poll in the Irish Independent.The main opposition party, Fine Gael is up one point to 38%, while the Irish Labour party is unchanged at 20%. Sinn Féin, however, has slipped a point to 11% after a week of negative publicity aimed principally at party president, Gerry Adams and his alleged IRA past.Fine Gael's Enda Kenny is still set to become the country's prime minister after the weekend, but it remains unclear if his party will govern solely with the support of a number of independents elected to the Dáil on Friday or will instead enter a coalition with Labour.Former taoiseach and ex-Fine Gael leader, Dr Garret Fitzgerald has told Kenny that the best option for the country was a stable coalition with the Labour party that could last five years.Dr Fitzgerald's intervention was seen as significant as he is a revered figure within Fine Gael and a respected political commentator. Some in Fine Gael have been tempted to govern without Labour but their former leader warned against instability caused by too much reliance on independents who put local issues before the national interest.On Tuesday, the leaders of the three main parties held their last live television debate on RTE, which saw the politicians clashing over the economy and the debt-ridden Irish banking system.During the debate there was less of the rancour between Kenny and Labour leader E 投票数時間前には、発信与党はアイルランド共和国の最も重要な総選挙の前に行くための唯一の48時間と、最新の世論調査でさらに滑っている意見pollsIrelandの発信与党フィアナFailに歴史的に低い14％に低下するアイルランド共和国で始まるFáilの支持をdecades.FiannaアイルランドのIndependent.The野党第一党のMillward Brown社ランズダウンの世論調査によると、歴史的に低い14％に2％ポイント減少している、Fine Gaelさんは、1つ上のポイント38％がアイルランド労働党中20％は変更されません

Australia: Disaster zone | Editorial The line between natural and man-made disasters has been blurred, so we search for causes and culpritsFloods, fires and even earthquakes and volcanoes have become political events all over the world, polarising public opinion and sometimes contributing to the fall of governments. Now that the line between natural and man-made disasters has been blurred by a changed understanding of our impact on the planet, every disaster sets off a search for causes and culprits. This is made more contentious by arguments over the degree of human responsibility that have increased the tension between right and left in many countries. The inevitable result seems to be that political leaders are finding themselves more and more in the firing line when nature springs its nasty surprises.The war over the causes of climate change, in particular, has been waged nowhere more fiercely than in Australia, a country whose knife-edge ecology makes it especially vulnerable. Floods in Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales, Cyclone Yasi, and now a dismal coda with bushfires around Perth in Western Australia, have made disaster control and prevention the issues of the day in what is normally Australia's switched-off summer holiday period. Even so, it is surprising that support for the Australian government has tumbled so precipitately. If an election was held today, prime minister Julia Gillard and the Labor party would be swept from office, according to a poll published in the Australian.From afar the prime minister has looked to be making not too bad a fist of it. She organised federal resources reasonably effectively, and has come up with a reconstruction tax on wealthier households that has won the approval of the majority of Australians. But they seem to feel that she has not sufficiently felt と人工の自然災害の間の線は、世論を偏光時の政府の崩壊に貢献し、世界中の政治的なイベントとなっている原因とculpritsFloods、火災も、地震や火山私たち索ので、ぼやけている

Why shouldn't children skip lessons to protest? | Simone Webb A teacher accused of letting pupils out to protest has been suspended – but such engagement in politics is educationalPolitical apathy among young people is a problem frequently commented on by politicians and journalists. I am constantly told how disconnected my generation is with the political system and how we need to get more involved.At Harlow college, where I'm a student, there were several events last year to motivate us politically, including a citizenship conference and a hustings with the constituency's parliamentary candidates. It was hard, therefore, not to be slightly frustrated to read about the teacher Sue Caldwell, of Friern Barnet school, who was suspended for allegedly encouraging students to skip school so they could participate in the recent protests against education cuts and fees – an allegation she denies.Obviously, skipping school is never something to make a habit of. Teachers should be wary of urging students outright to take time off – but the reasons for doing so have to be taken into account, and in this case the suggestion is that the teacher was doing so to get her pupils politically involved. To suspend a teacher seems an extreme reaction – wouldn't a reprimand be enough? – and completely misses the point that education is not just confined to the classroom.One or two days missed school rarely harmed anyone; if someone is ill for a couple of days, it's usually fairly easy to catch up. My college will also allow students days off for educational purposes: I legitimately took a day off in September to attend the Labour party conference, which was extremely beneficial to my studies of government and politics. School trips often involve missing certain lessons (although they don't usually involve police charges).Political participation from t 抗議して生徒を出しての訴え先生が中断されている - しかし、政治のような係は若者の間でeducationalPolitical無関心されている問題が頻繁に政治家やジャーナリストのコメントアウトされています

Voting the Australian way shows AV would make little difference in Britain The system in the only established democracy to use AV offers a guide to the UK – but there are differencesWhat might the alternative vote mean in practice? Australia is the best guide. The country has used the system since 1918 – introduced by two divided centre-right parties desperate to stop Labor squeezing between them to win under first past the post.As a result, election day in Australia is all about colourful pieces of card. Party supporters stand outside polling stations handing out instructions on how to vote. If you are a Labor supporter, you take the Labor card and use it to rank candidates from all parties in the order the local Labor party thinks best. You don't have to follow the cards, but most people do.Something similar could happen in Britain soon. Australia is the only established democracy to use AV and one whose politics and parliament are superficially similar to ours.Unfortunately, campaigners here overlook the differences. Most importantly, voting is compulsory in Australia – and so, in federal elections, is ranking every candidate on the ballot paper. That means that even if you like Labor, you have to put the Liberal-National coalition somewhere on your list for your vote to count. Neither of these will be the case here. Evidence from Australian state elections, where ranking candidates is not compulsory, suggests many people will continue to vote for only one party, leaving other votes blank. If that happens in Britain, AV may make very little difference.Historically Australia has had a two-party system, with Labor facing the right-of-centre Liberal-National coalition. AV did not allow small parties to break through. Labor won re-election in 1990 thanks to Green and Australian Democrat AV preferences – first past the post would have seen a Lib のAVを使用するのみ確立民主主義のシステムは、英国へのガイドを提供しています - しかし、differencesWhatは、代替の投票が実際に意味するかもしれないがありますか？オーストラリアは最高のガイドです

Letters: Frail economy needs another stimulus The Conservative party's calls for immediate cuts to the economy have been met by a growing chorus of criticism, warning that this risks sending the economy back into recession (Report, 8 March). The government was right to stimulate the economy with a variety of measures last year and so offset some of the worst effects of the recession. Yet, as some of the world's leading economists have pointed out, the fragile nature of the recovery means that fiscal stimulus is still required. However, according to the IMF, Britain is one of only two G20 countries not currently planning any such fiscal stimulus in 2010.A programme of government investment would not only stimulate the wider economy in the short term, but would increase long-term growth, thereby lowering the debt levels through a higher tax take. To this end, we encourage the chancellor to use the forthcoming budget to announce a second fiscal stimulus – especially in housing and transport, where investment has fallen most, and with a focus on developing a low-carbon economy – which would both help to secure economic recovery and create much needed jobs.Colin Burgon MPAlex Smith, Editor, LabourlistAustin Mitchell MPAnne Cryer MPAlexandra Kemp, Chief Executive, West Norfolk Women and Carers' Pensions Network (personal capacity)Bellavia Ribeiro-Addy, NUS National OfficerBilly Hayes, General Secretary, CWUByron Taylor, National Trade Union Liaison Officer, Trade Union & Labour Party Liaison Organisation (TULO)Cat Smith, Vice Chair, London Young LabourChris Edwards, Senior Research Fellow, UEA,Chris McCafferty MPChris McLaughlin, Editor, TribuneChristopher Cramer, Professor of Political Economy of Development, SOASClifford Singer, Director, The Other TaxPayers' AllianceColin Challen MPCompass Youth ExecutiveDave Anderson 経済への即時削減を保守党の呼び出しの批判が高まっコーラスでは、このリスクが再び不景気に（レポート3月8日）は、経済を送信する警告が満たされている
Ireland crisis: nine out of 10 want Brian Cowen out Taioseach's government is one of the most unpopular ever with 90% expressing dissatisfaction according to a new pollIt just confirms what the country already knew. Brian Cowen is leading possibly the most unpopular government since the foundation of the state barely 100 years ago. An overwhelming 90% – almost unheard of in political polls – have expressed dissatisfaction with the government in the latest Irish Times/Ipsos MRBI poll. Cowen's personal rating is almost on the floor – at just 14%, down five points on the previous poll conducted by the paper in September. If there were an election tomorrow, Fianna Fail would be voted out of office – the party would get just 17% of seats while their Green Party coalition partners would get just 2%. The findings are a record low for a government. They also show a surge in support for Sinn Fein which is up seven points at 15%, if an election were held tomorrow.The poll, which puts support for any Irish government at the lowest since the Irish Times starting polling in 1982, show just how out of step Cowen is with the mood of the nation. Last week he vowed to lead the party into the general election with what Fianna Fail TDs considered a barn-storming performance in the Dail and later on RTE radio.Critics said backbenchers and Fianna Fail ministers had a rude awakening on the way if they thought this flash of brilliance would be the party's salvation. Voters believe Cowen has failed abysmally as a leader through the financial crash which ended with an IMF bail out earlier this month. Fine Gael is back on course to be the biggest parliamentary party after the election with 30% saying they would vote for them but Labour is not far behind with 25%.

Guardian Election Daily: In David Cameron country David Cameron's journey began with an idyllic upbringing in Oxfordshire moving through an expensive education at Eton and Oxford followed by election to represent the safe Conservative seat of Witney. He is the bookies' favourite to be Britain's next prime minister. With this in mind we travelled to Oxfordshire to hear from some of the people who will help elect him, and some of those standing on the ballot against him. Meanwhile in Dunfermline, Fife, our Scotland correspondent Severin Carrell has been hearing from neighbours of Gordon Brown. He's standing in the nearby Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath constituency – a seat he has held through various boundary changes since 1983.Brown's close allies in the Labour party have been all but advocating tactical voting to keep the Conservatives out today – a move criticised by former Speaker Betty Boothroyd.And in south London, with just one full day of campaigning to go, Jon Dennis has been hearing from voters who have still not made up their minds.Leave your thoughts below – our final pre-election podcast will be available tomorrow afternoon.Michael WhitePhil MaynardSeverin CarrellJon DennisTim Maby

Letters: Labour lines up for leadership and London mayor Regardless of party politics, we welcome Diane Abbott's decision to enter the Labour leadership contest (Editorial, 24 May). This is important for the Labour party, but also for an inclusive modern democratic process. That's why we think it important that she gains the required nominations from her fellow MPs. Diane brings much more than race and gender to the leadership debate. She also brings vast political experience and political views that will not be there if she is not nominated. Debate on issues such as the economy, Iraq, Afghanistan, civil liberties, union rights, immigration, social justice, gender and broader equality issues will all benefit from her intervention. Now more than ever this new political landscape needs bold and courageous women to be at the heart of political debate. We strongly urge Labour MPs to use their crucial role to ensure that Diane secures sufficient nominations to remain in the contest.

Left must call for sanity on spending cuts | Adam Lent Progressive political forces in Europe need to act in concert to battle the austerity measures threatening economic nightmaresIt is undoubtedly right that the Labour party goes through a period of self-analysis and debate before electing its new leader but the timing could not be worse. Just as the British left retreats into months of introspection, a mammoth crisis emerges across Europe which screams out for protest and mobilisation.The £6.25bn of savings for the UK announced today are potentially damaging enough but when set in a wider context of the cuts-mania gripping the European Union they become positively terrifying. £6.25bn may not look like a vast amount in the context of overall spending but as a recent analysis revealed, cutting that amount will lead to thousands of job losses and damage growth. And this is, of course, just the beginning, with a full comprehensive spending review planned for the autumn.Alongside cuts to local services, today's announcement also included cuts in areas specifically designed to help the economy: such as employment programmes for young people and regional development. And there are rumours of cuts to be announced in industrial investment. It is looking as though a big proportion of these measures that Labour put in place to support the economy through uncertain times is facing the chop.These plans alongside similar announcements being made across Europe put the future of the UK and the continent at risk. This is not just an economic concern, unpalatable political forces could well flourish in the resulting downturn. Angela Merkel may be under enormous political pressure at home but by leading the calls for eye-watering cuts, the German chancellor is at great risk of repeating historical mistakes that damaged the advanced economi ヨーロッパではプログレッシブ政治勢力は、コンサートで緊縮を戦うために行動する必要がある経済nightmaresItを脅かす措置は、間違いなく正しいこと労働党は、自己分析や議論の期間を経ても、その新たな指導者を選出するタイミングが悪いことができませんでした前に行く
Is science teaching undermined by religious instruction in some state-funded faith schools? | Dr Evan Harris The evolution-creationism debate in schools must be about religious education lessons not just science lessons. This is my blueprint for better REFrom time to time there are concerns raised that some state-funded religious schools teach creationism, or intelligent design, in their science lessons.The last Labour government and the Conservatives in opposition have always denied this is a problem and have always said that they will not stand for the teaching of creationism in science lessons. Ministers always say that creationism can't be taught in science lessons Whenever this issue cropped up in parliament I was always concerned that the debate was missing the point. It is no good teaching about evolution (which is a scientific fact) in a science lesson at 9am then at 10am, in a religious education lesson, instructing pupils not to believe it. The whole problem with RE lessons is not that they exist but that they amount to religious instruction. There is no basis for allowing state-funded schools to indoctrinate their pupils, even if that is what their parents want. They can provide this in optional after-school (or lunchtime) classes or clubs. They could even have something on a Sunday where children are taught to be believers. They could call it Sunday School! The recognition that RE lessons are proselytising is reflected in the right that parents have to withdraw their children from these lessons. In contrast, they can't withdraw their children from biology lessons even if they have profound religious objections to their being taught about sexual reproduction or evolution – these subjects are recognised as non-proselytising. Secularists like me believe that RE is a valid subject for study in the curriculum but should be about what different religions (and other worl 学校でのevolution -創造の議論は、宗教教育の授業だけでなく、理科の授業でなければなりません

Women in politics: Progress and the unreasonable man | Editorial There are just 4% more women in the 2010 UK parliament than in the one of 1997By tonight another frontier in the slow march of global democratic equity may have been reached. In Australia, Julia Gillard, Labor leader and prime minister since she ousted Kevin Rudd in June, is locked in a photo-finish with the Liberal Tony Abbott: if she wins, she will become the first woman to be elected Australian prime minister and she will have overcome every cliched attempt to exploit her sex and to define and limit her ambition. But before every Australian who cares for fairness celebrates, it might be salutary to look at other democracies where seemingly irreversible progress has been made. At around the time when the Australian results will become clear, in Edinburgh the Hansard Society will be considering the fragility of the advances made by women in the parliaments of the UK since the election of our own first woman prime minister.After a campaign remarkable only for being entirely unremarkable in its gender balance, the results of the UK general election offered a little reassurance. There are more women MPs than ever before: just under 22%. That is 142, of whom an unprecedented 48 are Conservative. Another first: Labour lost seats, but its proportion of women MPs rose. Only the Lib Dems, resistant still to imposing quotas or all-women shortlists, selected fewer women candidates and elected fewer women MPs. So change is happening, and it brings other change in its wake. An early indication of the outlook of the new generation of Tory women was the revolt that halted plans to end anonymity for defendants on rape charges. David Cameron's A-list approach to candidates not normally drawn to political activism has attracted women who reflect 21st-century attitudes, including an int がわずか4％が1つの1997By今夜グローバル民主主義の資本の遅い3月に別のフロンティアのに比べて2010年の英国議会で多くの女性が達している場合があります
Australia: Rudderless | Editorial Australian politicians have never been afraid of slaughtering leaders who look like losersAustralians were informed by politicians in Canberra yesterday of a change of prime minister. The coup was quick, unexpected and effective. A nation whose political life seems to run at double the speed of everyone else's – federal elections every three and a bit years, five leaders of two main parties in this parliament alone – has upped the pace.For outsiders, Kevin Rudd's fall may seem inexplicable. An internationally minded Mandarin-speaking former diplomat whose country has sailed through the recession and financial crisis unscathed, and who is still, just, ahead in the polls, did not seem an obvious candidate for defenestration. In late 2007 he won by a landslide, offering grand plans to construct a tolerant and environmentally aware nation. Last year he was still the most popular prime minister in Australian history. Early this year he was on course for re-election. Yesterday he was kicked out by his fellow Labor MPs in a plot that caught alight faster than a bushfire. Within hours his successor, Julia Gillard was answering questions in parliament as Mr Rudd blinked away tears.If it was cruel, it was also necessary. The trigger was an impending federal election against a Liberal opposition that has been taken to the right under its new leader, Tony Abbott. Ms Gillard - Australia's first female prime minister and the first prime minister anywhere to have been born in Wales since Lloyd George – appears electable as Mr Rudd did not.Australian politicians have never been afraid of slaughtering leaders who look like losers. The suburbs of Sydney and Melbourne are full of bitter men with bruised egos, ejected before they believed their time was up.

Why can't we protest against cuts like the French? Many thousands have protested in France against cuts; we have a proud history of dissent in Britain, so why aren't we on the streets?A few years ago, the French president Nicolas Sarkozy told an interviewer that he knew the French better than most. Today they were admiring the good looks of his wife; tomorrow they would cut his throat. It hasn't quite come to that just yet, but the French – students and workers, men and women, citizens all – are out on the streets again. A rise in the pension age? Impossible. The barricades are up, oil supplies running out, trains and planes on a skeleton schedule and the protests are still escalating. More than three million people a week ago. Hundreds of thousands out this week and more expected this weekend. And what a joyous sight: school students marching in defence of old people's rights. Were there a Michelin Great Protest guide, France would still be top with three stars, with Greece a close second with two stars.What a contrast with the miserable, measly actions being planned by the lily-livered English trade unions. There is growing anger and bitterness here too, but it is being recuperated by a petrified bureaucracy. A ritual protest has been planned, largely to demonstrate that they are doing something. But is this something better than nothing?Perhaps. I'm not totally sure. But even these mild attempts to rally support against the austerity measures are too much for dear leader Ed Miliband. He won't be seen at them. The rot of Blairism goes deep in the Labour party. A crushing defeat last year might have produced something a bit better than the shower that constitutes the front bench. Balls the bulldog might have gone for the jugular but he has been neutered. Instead, the new front bench is desperate to prove that it could 多くの数千人が削減に対するフランスで抗議して行きたいのですが、英国では反対の輝かしい歴史を持っているので、我々は路上でされていないが、数年前、フランスのニコラサルコジ大統領は、彼はほとんどよりフランスの方が知って面接に言ったか？

Non-EU immigration to the UK: the statistics visualised The government is proposing to cap non-EU immigration into the UK. So, what are the facts?• Get the dataA cap on immigration to Britain from outside the European Union will be imposed from next month, with Theresa May, the home secretary, expected to announce that a maximum of 24,100 workers will be allowed into Britain from outside the EU before April. Nicholas Watt reports that May will make the announcement as she launches a consultation process to decide the level of a permanent cap to be enforced from next April.During the general election 2010 campaign, immigration from Eastern Europe became an issue - although the government (as a member of the EU) is powerless to stop European citizens coming to the UK. Non-European migration is another matter however.Which made us wonder, exactly how many people come here from outside the EU anyway?The spreadsheet below contains the key information on migration - and the Eastern European migrants.Here's what we have:Total numbers of people coming into the UK and leavingSince the year 2000. It shows that 503,000。。 People came into the UK in the year to end June 2009 - down from 530,000 on the previous year. 361,000 people left the UK in the same year.

Letters: Women need a voice more than ever Given that the research by the Commons library (Cuts to hit women twice as hard as men, 23 October) has found that the comprehensive spending review will hit women twice as hard as men, this is the worst time to axe the Women's National Commission, the forum that gives women the opportunity to have their voices heard at the highest levels of government. A quango it may be, but its function, roles and creative energy in representing women across race, class, age, religion and sexual orientation, not only in the UK, but also, through its partners, internationally, can never be replicated by the gender equality office, for this a government department.We have been the envy of our overseas sisters at international meetings such as the UN commission on the status of women, because, through the WNC, our voices are heard in policy negotiations at the top tables and via shadow reports compiled in consultation with all the partner women's organisations. WNC partners have worked with both Conservative and Labour governments. The chancellor should also note that the WNC was set up in direct response to the call from the UN that all member states should establish machineries to represent women and promote their status. The WNC is a model for the rest of the world, an organisation that the present government should be proud to have had as its adviser on gender issues.

Labour's wrong to get rid of Brown | Irwin Stelzer A new leader will carry the burden of the party's mistakes but won't have Brown's expertise in protecting Britain's economyIt is a mistake for Labour to purge itself of Gordon Brown. It matters little whether Labour decides to join the execrable Lib Dems in some sort of coalition to the joy of euro-loving Peter Mandelson, or moves somewhat more elegantly into opposition. In either case, the party will be preparing for a general election in a relatively few months.The new man or woman at the helm will carry the burden of the party's record but be unable to offer the expertise to cope with the future. Yes, Brown failed to understand the social consequences of excessive immigration in his quest to keep UK labour costs competitive. Yes, he failed to support the military with the kit it needed. Yes, he allowed Ed Balls to so centralise control of the education system that teachers have become mere puppets dancing on Whitehall strings. There is more, but you get the idea. But Brown did not act alone. He had accomplices in the party: every member now being considered a possible successor supported these failed policies. The voters know that, and will remember.But they also know that the immediate problems are the appalling fiscal situation, the lingering threat of contagion from euroland, and the need to reform the global financial system in co-operation with the US. Other policies need to be put in place, but none has the urgency of these three.In my view, Labour's continuing expansion of the role of the state is a serious mistake, and not only because it is fiscally unsustainable and the nation would be better served by a reforming Conservative government.But if Labour wants another chance to persuade voters it has the right answers to the nation's woes, many of which it cre 新しい指導者は党のミスの負担を運ぶ英国のeconomyItを守るブラウンの専門知識を持っていないが間違い労働党はゴードンブラウン自体を削除することです
Flello is right to tackle soya cultivation | Graham Harvey The Labour MP's private member's bill promoting planet-friendly farming could be a major step towards sustainable agricultureMP Robert Flello's choice of planet-friendly livestock farming as the subject of his private member's bill must have come as something of a surprise to his constituents.The Labour man represents Stoke-on-Trent South, not known for its high population of farmers. Yet his bill – if it makes it to the statute book – will chiefly benefit farmers both in South America and in the UK.Flello, whose name came out second in the parliamentary private members draw, has taken up a Friends of the Earth campaign to reduce the volume of soya meal imported to the UK as animal feed. It's certainly a worthwhile cause. In a new report, Pastures New, Friends of the Earth highlights the damage caused to wildlife and the rainforest in Brazil and Argentina by the growing of soya for western livestock farmers.The UK currently imports around a million tonnes of the soya meal each year for livestock feed. New research commissioned by the environmental group shows that at least half these imports could be easily replaced with home-grown protein crops such as peas, beans and sunflower and by better use of clover-rich pasture.The research – carried out at the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester – was presented at a Commons meeting in support of the Bill. What the people of Stoke-on-Trent would have made of detailed cost comparisons between different feedstuffs in the diets of pigs and cattle is hard to say. But their MP seemed to follow all this Farmers Weekly stuff without problem.Flello's aim is to get broad support from both farmers and environmental groups for the measure that will mark a major step towards a sustainable agriculture in Britain.

We can do business with Benedict | Catherine Pepinster The Pope was invited on a state visit because the Labour government discovered that the Holy See is a major agent of developmentBit by bit, week by week, the focus of attacks on the forthcoming papal visit to Britain have sharpened so that now they boil down to one thing: why should this be a state visit? The vitriol first expressed by critics of Roman Catholicism was so vicious that one sensed that it backfired: people in this country who always like fair play started to feel that the condemnation of the most fervent opponents of Pope Benedict XVI and of his Church were getting too personal. So there's been a noticeable change in gear: now the critique is you Catholics should be able to see your pope, but don't bother the rest of it with us. And it's worked: a poll for the Theos think tank this week shows that people don't approve of this being a state visit, with 76 per cent objecting to taxpayers part-funding it, while a survey for my own publication, The Tablet, by Ipsos MORI, shows that most people neither support nor oppose the actual visit. So it's the trip's status that sticks in the craw.But people need to get a few things straight. Firstly, this isn't quite a state visit. This is an official visit, with the status of a state visit. So the pope won't be the guest of honour at a vast banquet at Buckingham Palace, nor will there be a ride down the Mall with the Queen with all the attendant pomp, nor will the pope stay at Buckingham Palace and be waited on there by flunkeys. That wasn't desired by the pope, nor was it entirely possible , given the Queen is currently resident at Balmoral for her annual holiday there, and the absence of these events will make the visit vastly cheaper for the taxpayer.Secondly, the protests about the papal state visit are much noisie 労働党政権は、ローマ法王庁は週ビット、週developmentBitの主要なエージェントであることを発見したので、教皇は国賓訪問に招待され、英国に迫ったローマ法王の訪問への攻撃の焦点はその削ったていることを、今で煮詰めると一つのこと：なぜこれが国賓訪問すべきか？最初のローマカトリックの批判で表される硫酸塩は、1つは、それが裏目に出たことを察知していたので、悪質されました：常にフェアプレーは、ローマ法王ベネディクト16世と彼の教会の最も熱心な反対者の非難にもなっていたことを感じ始めたように、この国の人々個人

Conservatives and gay people – is the Tories' change of heart real? Perhaps it is safe for gay people to come out as Tories at lastSexuality is not a political virtue: it should be possible to be gay and a Tory and for no one to see a contradiction. Yet for the last 30 years the Conservative party has made it very difficult.Margaret Thatcher was one of the few Tory MPs to vote for the decriminalisation of homosexuality, in the 1960s. But in the 1980s her government introduced section 28, an overtly discriminatory piece of legislation with no practical purpose other than to make a show of prejudice. Labour took on the cause of gay rights reform after that and delivered what it promised. David Cameron is trying to catch up. Without section 28, he would not have to work so hard.The Conservative party has always had gay members and MPs. But it lagged way behind Labour in becoming openly proud of the fact.Is the Tory change of heart real? The shift began earlier than most people realise: John Major reduced the gay age of consent from 21 to 18. Michael Howard, the man who introduced section 28, went on to lead his party in favour of civil partnerships. But Cameron is the first Tory leader to make a show of his belief in equality, attending last year's gay pride, apologising for section 28 and holding a LGBT reception in Downing Street on becoming prime minister.There are advantages for him in this: it reinforces the idea that the Tories have changed. And counting against Cameron are his questionable alliances in the European parliament and a less than fluent interview with Gay Times just before the election – though it is telling that he gave one at all. But as the police minister Nick Herbert – who is in a civil partnership – argued in a speech earlier this year, many gay people are instinctively right of centre. Perhaps it is safe for them おそらくそれは、ゲイの人の安全lastSexuality保守党としてで出てくる政治的美徳ではない：それは可能とトーリーゲイ。矛盾を表示するためにする必要があります

England World Cup bid in danger over FA chairman's claims England's hopes of hosting their first World Cup finals since 1966 in 2018 received a hammerblow on Sunday with revelations that the chairman of the Football Association (FA) claimed that Spain and Russia were planning to bribe referees at June's World Cup finals.Both Spain - who are bidding jointly with Portugal - and Russia are bidding to host the 2018 edition and Lord Triesman - a key member of the England bid and a former Labour government minister - told his former mistress Melissa Jacobs that he feared they would collude to stop England winning the right to host the event. 最初のW杯をホストするイングランドの期待は、1966年2018年以来、日曜日に啓示では、サッカー協会の会長は選手（FA）は、スペインとロシアが6月のW杯スペインfinals.Bothで審判を買収する計画していた - と主張hammerblowを受けた人共同ポルトガルと入札している - ロシアと旧労働党政権の首相2018版を、主Triesman - イングランド入札の主要メンバーホストするために入札している - は、彼は彼らが勝利イングランドを停止する共謀を恐れた彼の元愛人メリッサジェイコブスを語った右のイベントを開催する
Guardian Daily podcast: Darling on debt; plus disparities in NHS death rates Alistair Darling speaks exclusively to Michael White after the release of growth and debt figures from the new Office for Budget Responsibility. Britain's annual borrowing will be more than £20bn lower than predicted, but growth forecasts have also been slashed. Darling claims it is premature to begin making big cuts to public spending and predicts that the Conservatives will raise the VAT rate in next week's budget.Sticking with the economy, the deputy prime minister, Nick Clegg, said in a speech in London this afternoon that it was not progressive to wait before tackling the deficit and risk paying higher interest rates.Meanwhile, as David Cameron announces a review of health and safety legislation, we hear opposing views from Labour's Gerry Sutcliffe and Conservative Bernard Jenkin on whether Britain is developing a compensation culture.Patients are more likely to die during vascular surgery in smaller hospitals, a Guardian investigation revealed today.

Key figures in the Binyam Mohamed case The foreign office barrister, the judge and the public law barristerJonathan SumptionThe famously expensive £2m-a-year commercial lawyer was accused by critics of abusing the legal process by demanding that the court change its draft judgment to be less critical of his clients in MI5. Sumption won that skirmish, but lost the war when the contents of his letter were publicly revealed. David Miliband pointedly said the manoeuvre had been Sumption's idea. Sumption has Tory links that date back to the 1970s. As speechwriter for Sir Keith Joseph, he served on a secret group chaired by Lord Carrington called the authority of government committee, which drew up plans to defeat trade unions. He also co-wrote a book with Joseph attacking the idea of equality as a desirable political aim. Sumption went to Eton and Magdalen college, Oxford, where he became a history fellow. His father was a tax barrister who twice stood unsuccessfully as a Conservative candidate. He has written a three-volume history of the hundred years war.Despite his Tory links and his huge fees, Sumption was hired at taxpayers' expense by the Labour government over the disposal of Railtrack, the extradition problem of General Pinochet, the close-down of the criminal investigation into BAE, and the Hutton inquiry.Lord NeubergerOne of the country's most respected judges, he is popular among lawyers and civil liberties campaigners for his approachable manner and robust judgments. Educated at Westminster school and Oxford, he went into investment banking at NM Rothschild & Sons before being called to the bar. He has had one of the swiftest careers in the judiciary, after being appointed a law lord in his 50s, and stepping down last year aged 61 to become the head of the civil justice system as master of the rolls. 外国のオフィスの弁護士は、裁判官と公法barristerJonathan SumptionThe有名な高価な£ 2メートルは年間商業弁護士は、裁判所は以下の彼のクライアントのMI5はで重要なことに、その案の判断の変更を要求して、法的手続きを乱用して批評家から非難された
Train policy goes off the rails | Christian Wolmar Some cutbacks in this economic climate are understandable. But the coalition's pursuit of a high-speed line is more bafflingThe kernel of a Con-Dem policy on railways is beginning to emerge with various announcements by the transport secretary Philip Hammond, who shows every sign of being a roads man, and it's not looking good for rail passengers. In headline terms, it's higher fares, more overcrowding, fewer new coaches, cutbacks to projected schemes but let's press on with the new high-speed line.This does not add up. The National Audit Office report on rolling stock focused on the fact that Labour's promises to introduce new trains in order to reduce peak time overcrowding have not been fulfilled. While in the short term this may make sense, as the recession has reduced demand, the Tories will now use this as an excuse to rein back the programme for new trains dramatically, and passengers will be strap-hanging again on the peak services as soon as the economy starts to grow. This is especially true of some lines in London where the population is expected to increase by up to one million by 2026.There is little doubt that fares are going to go up in an effort to reduce the huge £5bn subsidy to the rail industry and this may relieve part of the overcrowding at peak times as some people opt for driving or taking the bus instead of the train. Currently, regulated fares – which cover season tickets and off peak services – are only allowed to go up by 1% above inflation, but the new government could change this and grab some of the extra revenue themselves. However, the Lib Dems had promised the opposite, saying in their manifesto that regulated fares would be reduced in real terms by 1% each year, so any change is likely to lead to a row within the coalition.There is, too このような経済環境のいくつかの削減は理解できる
Guardian Daily: David Laws defends coalition cuts Lib Dem chief secretary to the Treasury's first test at the despatch box; John McDonnell tells us why he should be Labour's leader; and Thirsk and Malton prepares to voteIn Westminster Michael White begins the day with an urgent question from Alistair Darling on the proposed cuts. Darling was annoyed that the government didn't announce the measures in the chamber and it was up to the new chief secretary of the Treasury David Laws to defend the coalition.We speak to some of the MPs in attendance including Jo Swinson, Richard Harrington, Natascha Engel and Toby Perkins. Also in Westminster, the Labour leadership candidates are trying to gain the support of as many of their colleagues as possible. John McDonnell is still well short of the 33 names required: he tells us that all six candidates should be allowed to stand.Back at London HQ the Guardian's Alexandra Topping tells Jon Dennis about her scoop this afternoon on the band replacing U2 in the headline slot at Glastonbury.And the first test of the new coalition comes tomorrow as constituents in Thirsk and Malton cast their ballots for the 650th MP to join the Commons. The Conservative candidate Anne McIntosh is hot favourite to win the seat, but Harriet Harman has been out rallying the Labour vote, as Martin Wainwright reports.Michael WhiteJon DennisPhil Maynard

Politics Weekly podcast: Clegg’s great reforms and the Labour leadership battle This week Nick Clegg gave a speech in which he likened his programme to the Great Reform Act of the 19th century. Tim Montgomerie of ConservativeHome thinks that was over-egging the pudding, and Jackie Ashley reckons that Clegg is still struggling to find a distinctive tone in which he can both defend his role within the government and also explain why people should go for the Liberal Democrats over the Conservatives. Top US pollster Stan Greenberg tells us why British progressive values didn't translate into progressive votes, and insists that Labour would probably still be in charge if it had had a different leader. Our panel also pick over the Labour leadership candidates. Tim thinks that Labour should take their time in picking their leader and do a little soul-searching.

Greens could make lasting impact on Leeds | Peter Lazenby It's a tall order, but the two Green councillors enabling Labour to retake Leeds have a chance to revolutionise its public transportWith a veritable forest of newsprint spent analysing the national Lib-Con coalition at Westminster, another Lib-Con coalition met its demise on 6 May after surviving for no less than six years.It happened in Leeds, where the ruling coalition of Conservative and Liberal Democrat councillors lost the handful of seats that had given them a combined total big enough to outvote the council's largest party, Labour.Labour took control in 1980 and remained in charge for the next 24 years. But from the turn of the millennium Labour's enormous majority on the council was steadily eroded as the Labour government pursued the Iraq war, privatisation of public services, continuation of the private finance initiative, and the rest. It's tough on councillors who are punished at local elections for their party's behaviour in government, but it was ever thus – Margaret Thatcher's poll tax, for example, led to devastating results for the Tories in local council elections in 1990.In 2004 Labour's steady losses in Leeds left the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats holding 50 of the council's 99 seats. Labour was still the biggest party with 40 councillors, so the Liberal Democrats and Conservatives formed a coalition. (The other nine seats were held by independents and Greens, and later by one BNP councillor who thankfully is now a councillor no more).The Lib-Con coalition rubbed along without too many difficulties until last year when it decided that government policy on equal pay would be best implemented by the imposition of swingeing pay cuts on the council's refuse workers. The refuse workers went on strike. And there were some nasty verbal attacks on them これは、難しい注文だが、2つのグリーン議員は、労働党がリーズを取り戻すに有効にチャンスを新聞紙面の真の森林をその公開transportWithに革命を起こす必要があるウェストミンスター、別のリブ- Conの連立政権で国家リブ- Conの連立を分析過ごした5月6日、その崩壊を満たしてないより6 years.Itリーズ、保守党と自由民主党の議員の与党はそれらを合計十分な協議の最大のパーティーをより多数の票を得て勝つに大きなを与えていた座席の握りを失ったで起こったの存続後、Labour.Labourコントロールをした1980年の電荷次の24年間であった
Guardian Election Daily: A week is a long time in coalition politics Michael White rounds off an extraordinary week in Westminster that has seen the first coalition government formed since the second world war.James Forsyth, political editor of the Spectator magazine says that the pragmatic streak that runs through the Conservative party has won out and so far members are biting their tongues about the agreement with the Liberal Democrats. But for how long?Peter Riddell, Times columnist and senior fellow at the Institute of Government, says that the most cheering news of the week has been the easy changeover in Whitehall. Governments departments have so far not been restructured at great expense - one of the worst traits of the outgoing government, he says.But not everyone is happy. Charles Walker a Conservative backbencher tells us he will be voting against his party's plans to implement a rule allowing MPs to cause the dissolution of parliament if 55% vote for it (rather than a simple majority). He's joined by the equally independent-minded Tory MP Mark Field who vows to stand up for his constituents in the City of London. And making up the trio is philosophical former Labour MP Judy Mallaber who was in the Commons to clear her desk after losing her seat.Plus, as William Hague jets off to Washington to discuss Britain's interests in Afghanistan, we hear from a new MP entering parliament for the first time at the age of 60 from the armed forces. Bob Stewart says he intends to fight for more equipment and a better understanding of the military in Westminster.Finally, Martin Wainwright hears from the constituents of Thirsk and Malton who go to the polls on May 27 in what is being seen as the first test of the new coalition: both the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats will field rival candidates.Michael WhiteMartin Wainwright

Drugs for blindness and a development-free election Interesting moves are going on to explore the use of cheap, but unlicensed treatments to prevent blindness in the UK - while barely a word is said by campaigning politicians about international development.Interesting moves are going on in the UK to explore the possibillity of bringing in to the NHS a cheap drug to treat the most common form of blindness - which is licensed for bowel cancer but not for wet age-related macular degeneration.Ophthalmologists all over the world are following the example of the US, where vials of the bowel cancer drug Avastin are being split into hundreds of tiny doses and injected into the eye. But the manufacturer, Genentech, has developed and trialled and licensed a version of Avastin, in the right-sized shots, which it calls Lucentis. And Lucentis costs - in the UK - over £700 an injection (a course is something like 14). Avastin is a fraction of the price.With 26,000 new cases of wet AMD in the UK every year, the bills are starting to look prohibitive. The UK government is taking unprecedented steps which could allow the use of cheap Avastin instead. See my piece here.Meanwhile we are in the last throes of the election campaign and barely a mention of international development - let alone global health. Yet the dire state of the economy surely means at least a risk of cuts in what have been generous and useful programmes under the Labour government.

Who is winning the gay vote? | Simon Jeffery A survey by the social networking site Gaydar puts the Tories ahead of LabourIf there's one demographic that Labour should hope to count on even when others are deserting in droves, it's the gay vote. From the equalisation of the age of consent, to workplace equality legislation and the rules preventing discrimination by adoption agencies, Labour's record on gay issues is impeccable. But an interesting survey out today suggests that David Cameron's attempts to shake off the demons of Section 28 appear to have paid off.It's particularly interesting as the end of the survey period, 18-24 March, coincided with the screening of Cameron's awkward Gay Times interview, where he was asked why his MEPs refused to support a motion condemning a homophobic law in Lithuania. The survey was carried out among 1,500 users of the gay social networking site Gaydar, which means it's self-selecting and we must inject lots of caveats. But helpfully it asked how Gaydar users had voted in 2005, and how they planned to vote in 2010, which gives us a useful comparison.This is how members of the Gaydar survey panel said they had voted in 2005:Labour: 39.9%Conservative: 22.1%Liberal Democrat: 19.8%Did not vote: 6%Other: 4.1%Green: 3.7%Scottish National party: 3.5%Plaid Cymru: 0.9%Unsurprisingly, a big lead for Labour. Compare that with the voting intentions for 2010:Conservative: 28.9%Labour: 27.5%Liberal Democrat: 27%Green: 4.5%Other: 4.3%Don't know: 3.7%Scottish National party: 3.4%Plaid Cymru: 0.7%Is that good for the Tories? Well, this swing is pretty much in line with opinion polls generally. But given that the Tories' gay rights conversion is unproven, and Labour's record is solid, at first glance this appears to be quite an achievement for Cameron.While all polls should be taken with a pi ソーシャルネットワーキングサイトGaydarの調査によって、今後LabourIfの1つは、労働。場合でも、他の群れを成して離脱しているに頼ることを期待する層は、それは、同性愛者投票の保守党を置きます
Poland's tragedy, in which we all share | Denis MacShane The death of President Lech Kaczynski and the cream of Polish political leadership is a desperate loss. Let us honour his legacyThe word decimate does not begin to do justice to the tragedy that has befallen the Polish nation. Over the forests of Katyn, again, the national leadership of Poland has been wiped out. It is not just President Lech Kaczynski, but among the dead are Poland's finest military commanders, who had restored Poland's reputation as a great soldiering nation. There were also the governor of the central bank and other senior ministers. There was Jerzy Szmajdzinski, the presidential candidate for the social democratic SLD party; Andrezj Kremer, the rising young foreign minister, seen as a future EU foreign policy star; the delightful Jolanta Szymanek-Deresz, whom I knew as a fellow-member of the praesidium of the party of European Socialists, and who came to the Labour party conference last year. Leading Poles based in London, like the former president of the exiled Polish government in London, Dr Ryszard Kaczorowski, also died.Never before in modern or even recent European history has a national leadership been so abruptly removed. Every Pole will think of the abrupt and still mysterious death in a plane crash in 1943 of the Polish president general Wladyslaw Sikorski, who died when his plane nosedived into the sea off Gibraltar as he was returning from inspecting Polish troops serving under Field Marshal Montgomery.To be sure, Lech Kaczynski, who died together with his wife, Maria, was not, politically, everyone's cup of lemon tea. But he was a true son of Poland who sought always to uphold the honour and stature of the Polish nation and people as he saw them. He was a stalwart of the independent Solidarnosc trade union movement and fought to restore 大統領レフカチンスキの死とポーランドの政治的リーダーシップのクリームは絶望的な損失です

Ashok Kumar obituary Teesside Labour MP with an unrivalled constituency recordAshok Kumar, who has died suddenly aged 53, was a diligent and committed constituency MP who had a reputation in the Labour party for achieving a record level of contact with the voters in his Middlesbrough South and Cleveland East constituency. It was a measure of his anxiety about the danger of losing his seat in the House of Commons, having first been elected at a byelection for a seat he then lost at the subsequent general election.It proved a catalyst for his political career. Every weekend he returned to Teesside from Westminster and worked on his local campaigns to promote his own political causes and those of the party. In consequence, he achieved a phenomenal 80% contact rate with his constituents, which was regarded with awe by his colleagues at Westminster and with quiet satisfaction by the residents of the seat he first won (before boundary changes) in 1991. He was modest about this achievement. He was a quiet man who was regarded as a loner in the House of Commons, which can, in any case, be a very lonely place, even for the most convivial.Kumar was born in Hardwar, India, the son of Jagat Ram Saini and Santosh Kumari, who brought him to live in Derby at the age of two. He went to Rykneld Boys' secondary modern and left with only two O-levels at the age of 15. He then found himself unable to get a job, but was rescued through an introduction to socialism from a friend, which then led to him being persuaded to return to full-time education. The story was told that he went to a local library and requested to borrow the works of Lenin, but was gently directed towards the Tribune newspaper. He became an enthusiastic leftwing socialist, whose heroes were Aneurin Bevan and Michael Foot, and when he arrived Teesside労働党無類の選挙recordAshokクマール氏は突然、53歳で死去したと、勤勉と約束選挙mpは彼のミドルスブラ韓国とクリーブランド東部の選挙区の有権者との接触の最高レベルを達成するため、労働党内で評判だった

Iceland is still reeling | Eirikur Bergmann One day Iceland will have to repay its debt – but first the country needs time to recover from its devastating financial crisisThe seemingly endless saga of Icesave took a dramatic turn today when the president of Iceland, Olafur Grimsson, refused to sign an agreement to repay £3.4bn to Britain and the Netherlands. Their governments paid out the sum to Icesave account holders after the online bank collapsed in late 2008, and now want Iceland to repay it.Our elected president has a similar function as the Queen in the UK – a symbolic figure rather than one with any real powers. Usually it is simply a mere formality for the president to sign bills from the parliament. Only once before has the president rejected one. The constitution says that when the president refuses a bill it should be put to a national referendum. Last time this happened, though, the legislation was simply withdrawn by the government – but now it seems that the Icesave bill will be the first to be put to the public.We therefore find ourselves in unknown waters. A quarter of the electorate in the country signed a petition to the president to veto the bill. And according to opinion polls, a majority will reject it in a referendum.What people in the UK might not understand is that Icelanders feel betrayed by the UK government. When the Icelandic banks ran into trouble in late 2008 the Labour government added insult to injury by invoking the UK anti-terrorist act, freezing all Icelandic assets in the UK – which ultimately drove the banks into the ground. Icelanders therefore find the idea that they should foot the whole bill alone difficult to swallow.There is also a legal twist. The EU directive upon which the UK and the Dutch base their claim is rather unclear. It stipulates only that states are obliged 一日のアイスランドは、借金を返済しなければならない-しかし、最初の国Icesaveの果てしなく広がるサガは壊滅的な金融crisisTheから回復する時間が必要だ、今日では、アイスランド、オラファーGrimssonの社長は、合意£返済のための署名を拒否一変した3.4bn、英国とオランダに

Geert Wilders's election success could be a mini-earthquake The Freedom party has seats in just two of the 393 Dutch local authorities, but June's general election may bring more winsOf the 393 local authorities in he Netherlands, the far-right Freedom party of Geert Wilders will be sitting in only two. Of the thousands of local councillors, a mere 17 followers of Wilders have just been elected.It seems slight. But Wednesday's ballot across Holland represents a mini-earthquake nonetheless. The tall, bleached-blond iconoclast with his noisy anti-immigrant tub-thumping has notched up another victory.Only a few years ago the anti-establishment maverick cut a lonely figure, sitting alone in the second chamber of the Dutch parliament. These days he and his lieutenants occupy nine of the 150 seats. Come the general election on 9 June, according to the pollsters, he could muster thee times that, making him either a potential prime minister or kingmaker in the Dutch coalition system.Last year his Freedom Party also came second in The Netherlands in the European elections, trouncing the social democrats of the Dutch Labour party. He did particularly well then in The Hague, the seat of government, and the central town of Almere, which explains why, with meagre resources and staff, he targeted the same two places on Wednesday.The strategy paid off. In Almere Wilders took nine seats to be the strongest single party, in The Hague he took eight, two seats behind Labour.The two big parties, the Christian Democrats and the Social Democrats (CDA and PvdA) in coalition government until their collapse 10 days ago, fared badly in the local elections, haemorrhaging support to liberals, the Greens, and Wilders.While Wilders lacks the personnel to run nationally for the local authorities, he insists he has enough candidates lined up to contend nationa 自由のパーティが、わずか2 393オランダ語、地方自治体の議席は6月の総選挙よりwinsOf彼はオランダでは、2つだけに座ってされるGeertワイルダーの一番右の自由の当事者は、393の自治体をもたらす可能性があります
Guardian Daily podcast: Public sector strikes threatened during election; plus the Oscars' short list The public sector workers' union, the PCS, is balloting its members for strike action over the government's plan to cut redundancy pay. By cutting lump sums paid to staff made redundant to a maximum of two years' pay, it's hoped to save £500 million. But our Whitehall correspondent Polly Curtis says that the union plans a series of strikes to have the maximum impact during the election campaign.The former cabinet minister Clare Short gave evidence to the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq war yesterday. Sketch writer Simon Hoggart says that she was the most entertaining yet and startled the panel with her frankness about what she considered Tony Blair's dysfunctional government.The Oscars shortlist was published yesterday. Film critic Xan Brooks believes that though there are ten names, the contest is between two very different films: the Hollywood 3D blockbuster Avatar and the low-budget documentary story The Hurt Locker about a bomb disposal team in Baghdad.With only months to go before the general election Gordon Brown announced a referendum on changing the voting system. Julian Glover says it is unlikely to be passed through parliament as the Labour party might lose the election and the Conservatives are against changing to an alternative vote method of picking MPs.Psychologists at Birmingham University have found an answer to an age-old question for viewers of cowboy films: why does the good guy always win in a gun fight.
