Lisbon II and NAMA: What shoud a responsible citizen do? I've rarely liked the idea of referenda, as the form of direct democracy they provide allows weak politicians escape the responsibilty of governing. The only instances I think a referendum can be justified is when we can be fairly sure...

Robin Yassin-Kassab in the Sunday Herald. I really think this guy is spot on. Two manifestations of Iranian modernity The mainstream media narrative of events unfolding in Iran has been set out for us as clear as fairytale: an evil dictatorship has rigged elections and now violently...
