...world's oldest democracies, there's little enthusiasm for the national and local elections due in early May. Polls show that neither of the two largest parties - the Labour incumbents or their Conservative challengers - is on course for an overall majority in Parliament. There's little enthusiasm, either, for their respective leaders, Prime Minister Gordon Brown and David Cameron...
Tharp confesses she's never seen either show--she hasn't got a TV set, she says, and doesn't "know squat about ballroom dancing"--but cheers the trend. "It's great. I'm all in favor of it."

There are currently about 200,000 Israeli settlers in East Jerusalem, but the government doesn't regard them as settlers, as Netanyahu emphasized in Washington this week. It is doubtful whether any Israeli government could muster either the electoral mandate, or the manpower, to remove them, because there's a broad consensus among Israelis that at least the Old City should remain in their hands.
