The Left Wing Resurgence

The Left Wing Resurgence

 

The left has seen quite a large resurgence over the weekend. Not only has Cuba successfully held elections, positioning Raul Castro as President, but the Mediterranean island of Cyprus has voted, with a 70% majority, for Demetris Christofias’s Communist Party.

The Cypriot nation has voted in favour of the left wing party which seeks to reunite the island and move away from the current Greek/Turkish divide. This is surely a favourable conclusion to the strife that Cyprus has faced over the past few decades.

The picture for Cuba can only get brighter as the rolls onward. The US must face the fact that sanctions, terrorism and propaganda have had little effect on the resolve of the Cuban people. If anything, the US has only strengthened the unity and comradery alive on the little isle of Cuba. Castro’s legacy may be fading, Che may be gone, but the revolution still lives.

Viva la Revolucion!

“It’s now five years since Tony Blair took us into an illegal and immoral war. A million innocents have been killed in Iraq. We haven’t heard a lot about weapons of mass destruction since Tony Blair was caught out on that one. We got rid of him but what makes me angry is that Gordon Brown has made no changes and no apologies. Just like Blair, he has refused even to meet the families who have lost loved ones in his war. We must keep marching to let Brown know we are on his case too”
