I haven’t closed any comments. You are able to place comments on each individual blog post. If you are having problems doing so let me know. I’ve changed the settings so that anon’s can comment.

Hey Bethan, Why have you closed comments on you American Election blog? Afraid someone might talk some sense? No candidate would stand any chance of being elected as president without being a hawk on national security, pro-Israel, vowing to continue the “War on Terror”. Other candidates who say different don’t even get a look in. How many interviews have you seen with Ralph Nader or the Green Candidate? Our only hope (as Michael Moore says) is that Obama will not keep his election promises on foreign policy. Isn’t it a sad day when we are hoping that our preferred (realistic) candidate is lying.

The problem is that weather you like it or not we live in a global economy. If we are to regulate it has to be global. If we do not investors will simply go to more deregulated countries.

That’s why your comment about not wanting to her global excuses is so silly.

We have come to an impasse which presents us with an opportunity to reform global economic institutions. I would like to see greater controls exercised over the banking sector as well as hopefully an end to the global race to the bottom where we are all forced to implement the lowest standard and jobs go to countries that are willing to pay the least.

Just because you and Mr Salmond do not see this does not make it untrue. Salmond has made a career of appealing to populist base instinct so I not surprised he struggles with serious issues.

anon- I am not trying to score points, merely highlight Labour’s role in this situation. As Alex Salmond rightly says, Brown is the architect of this current economic situation in the UK, and must be accountable for his actions.

Once again I have to ask myself are you serious.

Can you not see that people are not interested in your silly point scoring when it comes to the economy?

Instead they are worried about mortgage repayments and food costs, two real world concerns you have never really had to deal with.

Like you Nationalist colleagues in Scotland, Plaid will struggle to take on a serious party such as Labour in such a period. Why you ask, because when genuine concerns take over people lose interest in issues such as which flag can I have on my number plate.

Bai’r Llywodraeth Ganolig yn rhannol yw’r mes yma a tra bod y werin yn gorfod byw gyda diffyg arian a safonnau byw sy’n lleihau, mae Brown, Arglwydd Madelson, Cameron a’i fflyncis yn joio fel bod dim yn bod! Hen bryd iddyn nhw agor eu llygaid i weld y broblem! Go Plaid! Gyda llaw, dw i’n 15 ac ar fin sefydlu cangen CymruX yn yr ysgol. Hwyl!
