    The problem that the Iranians have is that they have given their people an education. They have also allowed their people a smidgeon of democracy to vent their feelings. This has created splits in the establishment and may well turn into serious civil unrest.

    if you are going to exert control over the people it has to be total control.

    Yup, it's the lowest common denominator that wins, just as Labour do in the UK. There really is no hope until the education system improves.

    It looks as though the Iranians are stuck with a PM they didn't vote for, they have my empathy.

    That stumpy ferret-faced weasel will win sadly.

    Didn't he look ridiculous trying to Lord it up over our Navy personnel that time. If I had half and hour on my own with him I reckon I could persuade him that the Holocaust really happened.

    I did think about it but he's not on the polling card, treat option 1 as AndyW.

    From the news reports I've seen it's all been quite civilised so far, come polling day things could be different though.
