had an election. Nastase versus Basescu
didn't qualify as a free open democratic accountable election like the ones you get for school class rep.
Neither candidate has been photographed in an orange scarf or jumper. There is also a third candidate the ultra-nationalist Vadim Tudor.
Mr Tudor thinks Rumania's past when it was a fascist dictatorship and fought on the eastern front is not properly remembered. He was in favour.
Both Mr Nastase and Mr Basescu think Rumania's past when it was a Soviet satelite with friendly eat-your-young dicator Ceacescu has not been fully changed.

It is quite probable that we shall not see free open democratic accountable election like the ones you get for school class rep. Especially not in Ireland where a young Iraqi girl who will soon have her leaving certificate from a south Dublin well resourced and non-demoninational school worthy of a visit from our first citizen the non-elected Mary Mc Aleese gets suspended for five days for asking to be photographed and not taking no for an answer is photographed with our First Citizen of Eire the ex lawyer belfast born feminist but not married to a protestant non elected Her Excellency an Uachtaran of Europe's fifth Neutral State Ireland Mary Mc Aleese by the 2nd in command of the school not really the headmaster at all at all.
