BBC News: Mugabe’s Zanu-PF loses majority

Hardly any politician makes my blood boil as much as Mugabe. He is the Messiah that missed his exit and totally ruined his beloved country.

Hopefully the 84 year old will finally retire peacefully?!?

How many years will it take to remove his legacy and make Zimbabwe once again a leading country in Africa? So much blood has been spilled - it will take decades to heal these wounds? And it will take also a lot of good faith and hard work to get it’s economy back on track.

Great work Robert!

Italy’s politics has always special in Europe. No other country changes it’s government than Italy. I was so happy when Romano Prodi defeat the corrupt Silvio Berlusconi in last years election.

But Prodi’s government never reached the absolute majority - thanks to the Italian voters and some nasty legislation left behind by Mr Berlusconi. Prodi has lost the last vote of confidence and new elections are ahead.

It is too bad that the voters themselves are to blame here for year of bad government in recent years and probably many years ahead under Berlusconi.

Italy has one of the worst if not currently the worst economy in Europe. Thanks to Berlusconi and bad politics.
