 The True Democracy - Member of Parliament
On the one hand the TD MPs can't make any promises because they can't deliver anything, on the other hand, they can't represent their constituents as they wish because all their fellow TD MPs are trying to do the same.
Altogether, the qualifications of a TD MP are twofold - in the public he or she must be skilled in dealing with people, learn their concerns and problems, thus enabling them to represent the interests of their constituents in the deliberating and consensus seeking process in the TD e-parliament.
When seeking office as a TD MP, all an assistant or a citizen has to do is go out and collect signatures of citizens who are willing to elect him or her.

But at the April 9 meeting of the parliament's cooperation committee in Strasbourg, which was due to discuss the political situation in Kazakstan, Astana was represented by a group including the first deputy foreign minister Kairat Abuseitov and a presidential adviser.
According to Glyn Ford, a British member of the European parliament, it was Kazakstan's highest-ranking official delegation ever to attend a committee session.
Analysts believe this move was part of a foreign ministry campaign to respond directly to criticisms made in a European parliament resolution published on February 13, which condemned human rights violations in the country.

 Socialism Today - Trotsky's relevance today
The main tasks of this revolution were the elimination of feudal and semi-feudal relations in the land, unification of the country, and the solution of the national question.
It also involved the introduction of democracy, the right to vote, the election of a democratic parliament, a free press, and trade union rights for the working class.
While others are, in reality, abandoning Trotsky as no longer relevant to 'the modern world', we perceive that his ideas and methods are as vital, indeed more vital, to the struggles that are opening up.
