	ViewsWire
		The SPO did manage to improve on its 32.8% in the last state election, but the provincial party leader, Peter Ambrozy, was unable to profit enough from the collapse in support for the OVP, which saw its share of the vote fall to just 11.6%, from 20.7% in 1999.
		In general, the election results were more favourable for the opposition parties--particularly the SPO, but also to a lesser extent the Greens (which won their first-ever seat in the provincial government in Carinthia).
		But the local election result must be viewed in context--Mr Haider’s victory is unlikely to be repeated by the FPO in other parts of Austria, or lead to a surge in support for the far-right party during upcoming elections to the European Parliament.

	Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives - Nova Scotia's finances do not justify Bill 68
		The 2000-01 budget underestimated revenues by at least $250 million, according to the most recent budget documents, and this was used to justify the cuts to social programs contained in that budget.
		The financial difficulties are the cumulative effect of past federal and provincial cuts and the fact that the province does not bring in sufficient revenue proportional to the economy.
		The Nova Scotia provincial and municipal governments receive less revenue (own-source) as a percent of the provincial GDP than all other provinces except Alberta and Ontario.

		In a post-mortem on the polls that is the closing piece for i Report series on the May 2007 elections, Manuel L. Quezon III argues that the results show a return to “tried-and-tested themes in our political history.” As expected, the administration maintained its grip on the House of Representatives.
		IN many ways, the recently held midterm elections were a more-of-the-same affair, with the usual reports of disenfranchised voters on election day; the massive vote-buying and patented cheating operations to manipulate the results perpetrated during the voting, counting and canvassing of votes; and the high casualty count from poll-related violence.
		This perennial “wastefulness” of the May elections has so exasperated a coalition of environmental advocacy groups that it has called on the Comelec to adopt “green electoral reforms” that would dramatically alter the way election campaigns are conducted in the country.
