About 20 political parties in Georgia have signed an address to the UN Secretary General to hold the forthcoming elections in the country under UN aegis.
Georgian opposition seeks UN control over elections)) These guys are crazy! Since when U.N. has become fair and honest organization to watch over elections? I think Georgian opposition has no clue what so ever in what they are doing!
I hope their petition succeeds. A number of international monitors have a history of proven integrity when it comes to these sorts of things. They can shore up confidence in the system or better yet the UN could run it. Hopefully Shakashvili will lose the elections, since this would diffuse tensions between his country and Russia and allow them to move beyond the 2008 war. The US has an interest in that happening too because it would lessen a major point of tension between us and Russia.
Elections in Georgia are hoax when Shakashvili came to poewr. His foreign financiers spend their money to keep him in power, but not undesirable opposition patriot. For as long as the climet is agains Georgia's national interest the foreign financiers will keep pooring their money in just enough to feed the elites and keep the majority of the population in poverty, because they can only keep a poor and exhausted country under thier firm control to serve their intrest.
