Sad to see Congress win over BJP.  Bunch of socialists.

AND? India is still a VERY poor country. The BJP ignored the poor and the poor kicked them out of office.

Anyways... it's better to be a Socialist than a Sectarian Bigot...

I think that Australia is just about the only western country that doesn't have the offpring of a former PM, President, etc in parliament/congress/etc.

Although IIRC Kim Beazley's dad was a cabinet minister?
