Surprising Alaskan preliminary race. by Milota Sidorova

The U.S. regional elections taking place in November have entered its initial round – these days both parties decide on nominations. The steps have to be approven by region and county preferences where this first “tough” fight begins. Some observers year 2010 is exceptional if seen from public political moods that are switching unpredictably – for instance there was significant failure of Washinghton tied even Senior politicians – seen as a result of general public disappointment with Congressional work. The same ruled for long term party leaders. That way the field victory may twist and turn in exceptional directions. Jeopardized may be Alaska! Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski that lost her fight against political newcomer Joe Miller. Murkowski had to be re-elected for the second time, but primary race didn't got well for her – loosing 49 percento to 51 percent. Now she may be seventh “incumbent” and fourth Republican tasting public punishment this year. She may be left behind and not just because of relative preference of new, but disputed faces. Joe Miller with an image of Gulf veteran and conservative may catch up to the latest mood of “taking back what is ours”. War has been long disputed issue and the promise for “change” may threaten old ones and favorize newcomers.But there is also more behind the duel Murkowski-Miller called factor Sarah Pallin. Former Republican vice-presidential nominee lended her image and name to fight against Murkowski. In 2006 Pallin scored over Murkowski's father, Frank Murkowski in a GOP gubernatorial primary that led to presidential campaig! n in 2008. One of two Republicans will have to face Democratic! nominee Sitka Mayor, Scott McAdams in November.

British government after 100 days. by Milota Sidorova

2010. The year of many European elections. Whether it is a consequence of a crisis, but in many countries, political opinions have been split. In many countries it was a victory for right wing parties – but in many countries it was more than one party to rule. That projected a lot of troubles and delays in political actions – that way three-party coalition was established in Czech Republic, that way four-party coalition was created in Slovakia.But almost contradictive coalition was generated late spring in Britain. Elections brought a victory for Conservatives led by Cameron, but not the power. To beat their rivals, Labour party represented by Gordon Brown, Cons! ervatives united with Liberals led by Nick Clegg. That was the first time two opposite sides entered the government side by side.So far, they haven't show many, since real governancy will start in September, after the Parliament gets back on track. But so far, they haven't produced significant up or down – according recent ICM polls more than 43 percent of respondents were satisfied with them, while 36 percent weren't.However, this preparatory time has already taken 100 days – the first time evaluation period.Although without significant scandals, there were major discussions in the government. It seems Britons are not pleased with their finance minister George Osborne who prepared the most crucial cutting package in near past. Osborne suggested public spending should be trimmed between 25 up to 40 percent to tackle huge budget deficit. That decision creates different reactions in Britain – some media call it necessary action, while some are blaming him fo! r destruction of expensive wellfare system and education ̵! 1; basic social and civil needs under an excuse of inappropriate deficit killing. His ambitons exceed Margaret Thatcher's policies back in 1980's. So if it seems coalition gets along quite well, finances may turn out to be their breaking point.

100 dní britskej koalície. by Milota Sidorova

Rok 2010 sa stal volebným rokom pre viacero európskych krajín. Výsledky dá sa sumarizovať niesli v sebe istý vzorec, ktorý sa vo väčšej, či menšej miere opakoval – všeobecná výhra konzervatívnych, či pravicovo orientovaných strán a značná politická roztrieštenosť voličov. V mnohých krajinách nevyhrala jedna strana, ktorá by mohla bezproblémovo vytvoriť vládu. V mnohých krajinách bolo na vytvorenie koalície potrebných oveľa viac strán – týmto spôsobom môže! me pozorovať napríklad troj, či až štvorkoalíciu v Českej alebo Slovenskej republike.Kuriózne a bezprecedentne dopadli tohoročné voľby vo Veľkej Británii, kde sa vlády ujala nepravdepodobná koalícia konzervatívcov a liberálov.Konzervatívna strana vedená Davidom Cameronom mohla vládu zostaviť jedine v prípade spojenia sa s Liberálnou stranou, vedenou Nickom Cleggom. Avšak zdá sa, že aj po prvých sto dňoch vládnutia sa toto partnerstvo nejaví až tak nereálne. Podľa nedávneho prieskumu agentúry ICM bolo 43 percent opýtaných s vládou spokojných, zatiaľ čo proti bolo 36 percent. Britská vláda nespôsobila väčšie škandály, ani rozruchy, avšak zdá sa, že k naozajstným manévrom príde ža v septembri, po ! prvom jedennom stretnutí parlamentu. Hoci sa nová vl! áda drží relatívne decentne, rozruch sa už niekoľko mesiacov sústreďuje na ministra financií Georga Osborna, ktorý prišiel s doteraz najtvrdším balíčkom úsporných opatrení v modernej britskej histórii. Osborn plánuje znížiť výdaje na verejný sektor v rozmedzí 25-40 percent primárne v oblasti zdravotníctva, sociálneho systému a školstva. A hoci sú reformy v spomínaných sektoroch prioritou oboch koaličných strán, je otázne, z ktorej strany k nim budú pristupovať. Politická mienka je momentálne rozdelená do viacerých táborov. Niektorí úsporné opatrenia považujú za nutnosť výjsť z krízy, niektorí zasa krízu označujú za zámienku ako zničiť doteraz etablované systémy a občia! nske istoty.
