Obama's biggest boost: a steep fall in US unemployment | Richard Adams Barack Obama's election hopes are boosted by an improving economy. But one month's good news is not a recoveryIt was the best possible news for Barack Obama today: a steep fall in the number of people out of work in the US economy. It was the blight of unemployment that lay behind his party's disastrous performance at the polls in 2010. And it was high and persistent joblessness that threatened his re-election in 2012.After months of bad news and weak job creation came the news that February at last saw signs of life in the labour market:Hopes were boosted on Friday that the US economy may finally be on the mend after its worst post-war recession when figures released in Washington showed a big jump in job creation last month.The Labor Department said employers in the world's biggest economy had hired an additional 192,000 jobs last month — the highest total since May 2010 when workers were being taken on to conduct the US census.With more unemployed workers able to find employment, America's jobless rate dipped from 9% to 8.9% — its lowest for almost two years.So far, so good. Just as the federal government's stimulus runs out of steam, the private sector finally steps in to take up some of the slack, which increased hiring by 222,000 after a modest rise of just 68,000 in January.But there's an old saying in financial markets: beware of reading too much into one month's figures. Just as one swallow doesn't make a summer, neither does one bumper month. Economic history is littered with dawns that proved to be false, and lights at the end of the tunnel that proved to be on-coming trains.In particular, unemployment remains high (historically, in US terms) at 8.9%. It will take several months of sustained job growth at February's level to bring that figure down to a comfor バラクオバマの選挙の希望は改善の経済に支えられている

Aung San Suu Kyi: No release yet | Editorial The world's most famous political prisoner is unlikely to buckle to the Burmese junta's demands after 15 years' house arrestThere is every indication that even after keeping her confined in her mildewing, two-storey villa for 15 years, the Burmese junta still regard Aung San Suu Kyi, the world's most famous political prisoner, as a potent threat. Her house arrest is due to expire today, and there were rumours yesterday that the order for her release had been signed.Each of her previous spells of freedom have been brief since she was first detained in 1989, as she challenged restrictions which prevented her from leaving Rangoon. And there was no sign yesterday, her lawyer U Nyan Win said, that she would accept any conditions on her release. Aung San Suu Kyi is first and foremost a politician, and one who has sacrificed the best years of her life for the cause of bringing democracy back to her country. She is hardly likely to buckle to the generals' demands now.For its part, the junta has held elections in which voters were frogmarched to the polling booths, and many others stayed away. The army's proxy party now controls 80% of the parliamentary seats, although some independents are also in. But parliament has yet to sit, a president chosen and a government formed. The transition to a nominal civilian government is incomplete. So it is an open question whether the generals would allow the daughter of Burma's independence hero to derail their best-laid plans by holding rallies. Even less would it do so for a party which is now seen to be illegal because it boycotted the election. If a cyclone which killed 138,000 people was not enough to prevent the holding of a constitutional referendum (the first stage in the process), why would one individual be allowed to disrupt t 世界で最も有名な政治犯はarrestThereも15歳の彼女に彼女のmildewingに閉じ込められ、2階建ての別荘を維持した後、ビルマ軍事政権はまだアウンサンスーチーを考えることのすべてを示しています15年の家の後にビルマ軍事政権の要求にバックルそうにない強力な脅威としてKyiは、世界で最も有名な政治犯

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

Burma is no closer to democracy | Tharaphi Than We were betrayed in 1990 and this election, too, holds slim chance of change. Burma's best hope is still Aung San Suu KyiI remember that day. It was 27 May 1990. I was too young to vote, but I spent all day in front of a primary school turned polling station just a few doors down the street. In the afternoon, my father took us to the headquarters of National League for Democracy (NLD). I made sure I wore the NLD uniform, orange pinni jacket my grandmother sewed for me. I remember the euphoria and excitement on the streets. Turn-out was high, at 73%. People were jubilant with the prospect of finally seeing a new dawn for democracy. But they were betrayed.Fast-forward 20 years. Burma held its second election on Sunday. Scenes at Rangoon answered the question of whether or not Burma is a step closer towards democracy this time. Only police and security trucks occupied the streets. A clear sign of who is likely to dominate the political landscape.To get a sense of voters turn-out, I conducted a mini poll. Out of 57 people I contacted, only 14 voted, ie 24.56%. This would not reflect the reality but could be close given the reports that many stayed at home. Why would voters stay at home at this rare chance to express their voices and opinions?One explanation seems to be that without NLD, people had little faith in this election. That highlights the belief any democratic process must involve Aung San Suu Kyi and her party. With constitutional clauses clearly stating that the president may confer the executive and judicial powers to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and, if required, may also suspend or restrict one or more fundamental rights of citizens in a state of emergency, voters clearly knew what this election had in store for them.Non-voters sent a clear signa 我々は、1990年に裏切られた今回の選挙は、あまりにも、変化の可能性は低いが保持されます
