The EU has agreed to suspend all sanctions against Myanmar following last month's free elections. The European Nations agreed to lift all trade sanctions for a year, with the exception of an arms embargo that would remain. One diplomat said that lifting the sanctions for the 12-month period would give the EU time to assess the sustainability of the reforms. A formal announcement will take place i...

I've knocked down the UK's ruling coalition often regarding the austerity programs launched by it. Hav'nt really written much on the "Big Society. Polly Toynbee has written today in the Guardian, exploring whether the "Big Society" is merely a drape over brutal cuts. This seems increasingly to be the consensus. Strange though it may sound, and cynical though I am - this is not entirely true. It m...

The Daily Mail has published an article noting that the Lib Dems are unlikely to split from the ruling coalition in the UK. The arguments are certainly persuasive. In fact, in my post on UK politics just 4 days ago, I'd advocated that Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, capitalize on David Cameron's obsession about not letting the Lib Dems split and join Labour. Thinking about it from the economic pe...

A UK by-election taking place in the constituency of Oldham East and Saddleworth, on January 13, appears to have become a platform for some very interesting national trends. A large number of factors seem to be at play here. The most critical one is whether the UK has a hope, once the Tory-Lib Dem ruling coalition is out of power. Ordinarily, with general elections set for 2015, a by-election in...

The Telegraph reported on October 25 that David Cameron, the UK's Tory Prime Minister, has hinted while at a meeting with business leaders, that his Government might consider relaxing the current cap on non EU immigration into the UK .

Just got done listening on the BBC World Service to David Cameron speak at the House of Commons, about the Defense Review. This Defense Review has been overcast by austerity. Originally, about 10% of the Ministry of Defense's budget was to be cut, now, estimates put the cuts closer to 8%. He says that Britain has to continue punch above its weight in the world, on account of its economy, its alli...

David Cameron has been reading too many American opinion polls. He has reacted to Hillary Clinton's call to not cut the military budget, for fear of harming the 'special relationship' between the US & the UK and has reduced the extent of proposed military budget cuts. America's assessment of real and present danger of terrorism itself needs to be revaluated , but that is beyond the fact. David Ca...

One could understand it when David Cameron casting himself increasingly as "Blair's Heir" in 2007. Tony Blair was Prime Minister then, though a Labour Prime Minister, and David Cameron was attempting to entrench himself as Tory leader. One could even understand Gordon Brown invoking Margaret Thatcher in 2007, after becoming Prime Minister. He wanted to portray himself as a tough man, in nobody's...
