International Pollin' Roundup

Hey, did you know there are other countries? I didn't. I mean, I'd heard about Iraq and Canada and maybe Mexico once, from like this dude on TV.

Wait, no I didn't.

But there has been a dearth of polling news lately. So now we play the "lets look up some international polling news game". This is a fun game because after this game you know that I will play the "lets do a 'best of' post" game. And everyone loves 'best of' posts!!!

First up, the Lebonese opposition has some serious issues with Syria, according to this article from the Arab News. They accuse Syria of fixin' the polls to keep the Pro-Syria ruling party in power.

Next, all the way in Eastern Europe, we've got the last in the latest line of a string of leftist, western-leaning opposition parties nearing power. This time it is in Slovakia, where a liberal opposition group is performing strongly in pre-election polls.

Finally, out of Africa, we have a very different, very unhappy opposition party. In Zimbabwe the opposition party accuses President Robert Mugabe's government of fixing the recent elections.
