The rise of the Left

In what may be a trend, or perhaps just a reaction to the global economic and political atmospheric pressure, India's deomocracy has moved itself to the left of the polarizing political line. Economist article.

Next.

Don't get too excited about these moves in foreign countries. The right has a strangle hold here. Even if we were to have a major change of parties in our system come November, we don't have any leader(s) poised to take charge who actually are left of the line.

But go give it a try anyway. Maybe we can inch our way back toward the center at the very least.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
