"Ucrania has the most advanced democracy on earth. There is no need for special interests and lobbying in the ucranian parlamentary system. It's so advanced that the deputies are the special interests and lobby for themselves (and their mafias)..." It seems that the USA has, finaly, achieved such a state of grace. (don't worry.. Portugal is no better.. As a recent democracy, a non-presidential, parlamentary system also has been able to party-wize every part of the society and economy...) Now for the real matter at hand... "Indeed, Hagel did exceptionally well in his Senate race -- far better than anyone had anticipated, especially his opponent." A problem in democracy, is that when you tamper with things, and got with it, it will probably be verrrryyyy dificult to prove you did it. Think: It's evolution!!! There is a wit war between any forces in a democracy to get away with it. Anyone outsmarting everybody, will just get better.... So don't complain with conspiracy theory... it's the natural conclusion to any democracy. The weapon of the powerless literat... Cheers, Aife
