Ken Livingstone

When in his first 100 days in the government Brown it saw that the surveys gave two digits him of advantage on the conservatives, it played with the idea to advance the elections. In the end it did not do it because it calculated that, although could gain these it would do, it with a smaller margin of parliamentarians, when he constitutionally could govern more calmly during 34 months. Brown is the first one to premier British in many decades that never have happened through a single election to national level. To arrive showing a united party was something that he raised to be able to resist to tories and to look for to take advantage his divisions and internal quarrels. Nevertheless, that homogeneity, although initially it worked in his favor, has ended up conspiring against Brown. When the public realized that he did not want to advance the elections by a political maneuver I disillusion began to grow and this one has extended as a result of new crises and scandals. The result is that with him by first time in more than 13 years a preservative leader has exceeded to the Labour Party member in popularity, and that people just begin to know what Brown wants to do then their plans of government never were set out in debates or electoral fights.

As fruit of all this is that this one is becoming one of the administrations less popular Labour Party members and than is abriendo all a series of new fissures in the red electoral base. For May they are the municipal elections. Although in London the present mayor Ken Livingstone has many possibilities of obtaining his second re-election (thanks to its own profile and independence of the government, that in a while it expelled to him from the party), the laborismo could undergo forts reverses in the different distritales mayorships from this capital.

Government Change

Grondona exposes, that perhaps the president Cristina, it had not perceived until it listened to the cacerolazos, that one of the factors of its fast wearing down does not consist as much of the conflict which they have caused his measures of government like in its discursiva arrogance when defending them. Perhaps it began to perceive it when, speaking for the second time in the series of three speeches by national chain that it gave in the week, decided to appeal to a Congress suddenly turned into salvation table. It would be an error, it emphasizes Grondona, supposition that survey and the caceroleros are requesting a passage to the flank of Cristina. What they are asking is not to change it but it changes. Because, if already it had lost to the urban middle-class that did not vote it in October of 2007, now it is losing to rural middle-class that voted yes it.

If it does not change the sooner, only it has left the distracted support of the captive masses that travel in the trucks of the Government towards the frozen official acts. Definitively a change in the style of conduction, of negotiation of appreciation of the reach and repercussions is suggested that is generated when they are put in legal measured new practices, as the case of the taxes to the export, without anticipating the consequences. Another one is due to look for language, a more democratic approach, is necessary to surpass the present ideology, that as it exposes Grondona considering that the ideology that still interpose between the Kirchner and the reality of a country that it is well different del that conceived when young in the Seventies we could call it neomontonera. She notices herself mainly in those passages of the presidential speech in which her author tries to be amiable in front of whom they do not think like her.
