You live in Bethnal Green & Bow, Tusko?
I'm at the other side of London, but I'm just a tourist, em, foreign student.
I read in the papers that extremists harass Oona King and George Galloway there. Do you know anything more about this?

Indonesia used to have proportional representation. It turns out to be abused by 'party elites' who got their MP seats from the hard work of local politicians.
The last election (2004) saw a change into a district system similar to the UK/US system. People seem to like it better because at least they know who they vote for.

I see that George Galloway won. How do you think this would affect the parliament?

The pro-Respect students here said that Labour would rather lose 20 seats to Tory than one to Respect. I bet they're very happy now.
