This is worth keeping an eye on: Russian MPs go on hunger strike<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There were a veritable shed-load of interesting EU-related links over at the always superb Political Theory Daily Review<\/a> yesterday, which I’m going to lift wholesale as I’ve got loads of stuff to do today:
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

Focus on Europe:<\/b> From Croatia, President Stipe Mesic<\/a> wins reelection. From Poland, the fraught left will have to tread very delicately<\/a> around teaching gay sex. From Italy, it’s time for the real Naples<\/a> to stand up. From Great Britain, Blair and Brown are two rivals united by faith<\/a>, not philosophy. From The New Yorker<\/i>, how foxhunting became the most divisive issue<\/a> in England. A review<\/a> of Britain’s Gulag<\/i> (and more<\/a>). From New Statesman, how 1 in 5 Britons<\/a> could vote for the far right, and on how the west followed Bin Laden’s script<\/a>. From Newropeans<\/i>, an essay on Transatlantic relations between the United States and the EU in 2020 <\/a>: Anticipation and the new world order a scenario approach (and part 2<\/a> and part 3<\/a>). From The Globalist<\/i>, on the prospects for future transatlantic harmony<\/a>, and can Europe build a NATO<\/a> for Africa? A different perspective: Why pro-Europeans should oppose<\/a> the EU Constitution. The EU Parliament strongly endorses<\/a> Constitution. Founding Chairman of the European Central Bank Wim Duisenberg<\/a> on how the euro has grown up. The most fundamental problem facing Europe is the governments of its member states<\/a> and the lack of transparency in theCouncil. A leading European political scientist is calling for an immediate end<\/a> to the copyright system. And why Europeans hate American Express and Wal-Mart<\/a>, but like MasterCard and Colgate<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Also, I reccomend checking out Cernig’s Newshog<\/a> – lots of nice links to interesting articles from around the blogosphere and beyond.<\/p>\n

And while we’re at it, why not help out with Manic’s latest Googlebomb<\/a>? It’s simply empty rhetoric<\/a>…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
