Mugabe Wins

Hello all,

In a surprise result, our dear Robert Gabriel Mugabe has won with landslide margin! Mind you - not particularly hard to win a landslide when you are the only candidate.

I notice that George Bush has declared the government and presidency of Mugabe illegal and is drawing up a list of sanctions. Well - that will convince him for sure! Especially seeing as they couldn't even get the UN to condemn the election as illegal "the face of South Africa"!

I imagine we shall see real pressure being brought to bear on South Africa (NOT!). Like the withdrawal of the 2010 world cup - and other measures to show displeasure with Mbeki's outright support of his despotic neighbour. Despite everything that has been said and done and "huge amount of international pressure" - Mbeki and Mugabe continue without check. They will just ignore what has been said, Mugabe will attend the Au summit, get them all back on sides and the situation will continue to deteriorate in Zimbabwe over the five years.

And really, no one will do anything even mildly effective and nothing will change. If anything, by the next "election" the opposition will cease to exist.

The MDC need to change their game drastically. They should, by now, be arranging to form a government in exile and start doing everything they can to fight the Mugabe regime. I have to say that I have, on several occasions written to the MDC and have not, as yet had even the courtesy of a reply! I wonder if that is the level of their game? As such, they will now seriously begin to decline unless they do something about it. And pronto!
