Tonga Contemplates a Constitutional Monarchy

Wednesday 11 November, Juche 98, the Kingdom of the Tonga islands is thinking of adopting a constitutional monarchy. This would reduce the powers of the current absolutist monarch, King George Tupou V. I oppose this move. There isn't a need to have a constitutional monarchy. The two major political parties, the People's Democratic Movement and the Human Rights and Democracy Movement, have the same ideas. In fact the two political parties, four years ago were the exact same party! The People's Democratic Movement broke away from the HRDM in 2005. Tonga faced a crisis a year later, when the Tongans rioted during pro-democracy demonstrations. The question remains, what's the point? George Tupou V will still be in power and the political parties will remain the same. Nothing will change.

Endorsement for the Glasgow-North East By-Election

On Thursday 12 November, Juche 98, the Scottish parliamentary district will hold a by-election to determine who will take the place of former Speaker Michael Martin. Martin stepped down earlier this year following the disastrous expense scandal, which has greatly shattered the support of current Labour led government. My endorsement goes to Charlie Baillie, who is supported by the British National Party. I am supporting the BNP because I do not necessarily support Scottish independence, and I certainly do want the United Kingdom to leave the European Union. I would very much like to see a seat go to the BNP in a parliamentary election. I will be following British elections, because there is a chance that the governing Labour party will take 3rd place. This is the first chance of that happening since the 1920s.

Reflections on the 2009 Vote

Today 3 November Juche 98, my local community and varies other communities held elections. For the first time in my life, I voted for only one party. With the exception of 2 candidates, I voted across the line for the Conservative Party of New York. I was disappointed that I was unable to vote for myself for Suffolk County Legislature and I believe my insignificant rights were in fact violated, but I supported the Conservative Party candidate instead. In a last minute decision, I had decided to vote for all judges on the Libertarian Party ticket, however, I was sad to discover the Libertarian Party didn't field any candidates in this election. So once again, I opted for the Conservative Party. It seems interesting that this year, the most significant third party was the Conservative Party, which is certainly a first. I would like to send out my congratulations to new governors Christie of New Jersey and McDonnell. I also would love to wake up tomorrow morning and see Congressman Hoff win.

Opposition to Hamid Karzai

Today 2 November Juche 98, the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan declared incumbent president, Hamid Karzai the winner of August's controversial election following the withdrawl of foreign minister Dr. Abdullah Abdullah. I had recently endorsed Hamid Karzai in the second round of the elections, simply and ONLY because Abdullah threatened to withdraw from the second round of the elections. Now that Karzai is the president, I vehemently oppose his rule and I hope soon, Islamic Revolutionaries will overthrow the corrupt western puppet regime.

Endorsement for the Quebecois Local Elections

Today 1 November, Juche 98, the French-speaking Canadian Province of Quebec will be holding local elections. These elections are for the municipal governments across the province. I will support the Bloc Quebecois, a left-wing Quebecois nationalist party. After visiting the province several times, I believe Quebec has a unique heritage and that the Quebecois culture should be preserved. The best way for the culture, language and history to be preserved is through independence.

Endorsement for the Second Round Afghan Presidential Election

On Saturday 7 November, Juche 98, the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan will hold its second round presidential election. The first round, was held in August. The first round, was marred with revolutionary acts, which the Taliban claimed responsibility, and vote fraud. Incumbent president Hamid Karzai won the first round with 48% of the vote. Karzai originally had 54%, however several false ballots were discovered. Main challenger, Abdullah Abdullah, also had some false votes. Since the official results have determined that no candidate received more than 50% of the votes, a second round must be held. In these elections I am supporting current President Hamid Karzai. I'm supporting Karzai because Abdullah, has recently announced he may withdraw. Abdullah bitched the most about vote fraud, and now he is threatening to withdraw. This strategy never works, nor will it ever. By backing out of the election or boycotting it, you loose all credibility. If you don't back out of the election, you have the chance to win, and if vote fraud occurs you can truely revolutionise the nation. I considered supporting Abdullah, until he threatened to back out of the election. I do not support either candidate. In the first round of the elections I endorsed Member of the Loya Jirgah, Shalha Atta, who wanted to re-indtroduce former policies of President Lt.-Gen. Sardar Dost Mohammed Khan (Pr. 1972-1978). Under Khan's policies, Afghanistan flourished.

Endorsement for the New York City Mayoral Election

On Tuesday 3 November, Juche 98, New York City will hold its mayoral election. In this election, for the first time since 2003, I will support a Green Party Candidate. I am supporting Reverend Billy Talen, an anti-corporation activist. I support many of the protests he has lead, such as in Disneyland, against Banks and Walmart. I do not, nor have I ever liked current incumbent Mike Bloomberg. I have nothing against him personally, however I feel many of his ideas are utterly stupid. The two which come to mind are putting toll booths in downtown Manhattan and also putting windmills on top of the New York City buildings. If the windmill motion was approved, I believe that is the worst crime upon humanity since the construction of the Aswan dam, which destroyed the ruins of Abu Simbel. I would have been sympathetic to Bill Thompson, because he has done some good things for New York City and was promoted by former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, however Obama's recent endorsement has caused me to withdraw all support. If Obama supports the candidate, it is obviously the worst possible candidate. Obama's an idiot, and has no business medeling in either U.S., International or New York's affairs. Fuck Obama. The other third party candidates are weak, and would not be able to control the city.
