Elections in Moldova.

Apparently the Communists are in charge -
I have read that Moldova was the first country to
democratically put the communists back in power.

Times and the Communists have changed though judging by the poster...



not everyone likes communism...



This lot (below) are the Social Democrats - but there are questions
over their attitude to corruption. I heard that the communists just sacked
the most corrupt 50% of the national police force -
a positive and brave move indeed unless you are a supporter of the
West Midlands Serious Crime Squad,
a British police department that, it is reported, took their name entirely too literally.

So things are getting better in Moldova. The Tiraspol Times ("Moldovan Police Most Corrupt") begs to differ but then I suspect that this Transnistrian newspaper has an agenda that is not based on fairness towards their geographically close but politically estranged Moldovan neighbours.

Never heard of Transnistria?

Then perhaps you know it as the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR)
a.ka. Trans-Dniester, Transdniestria, Pridnestrovie and Transnistria



Now these people make their views absolutely clear
(I assume that 'fara' means without - a quick scan of some restaurant
menus tends to back this up)



and finally those nice communists again...



Keep up-to-date with it all at Politics of Moldova - I think my vote would go to the
Peasants' Christian Democratic Party of Moldova, they only have 2% of the seats but the best name.
