Hi Daphne,
I’m surprised you missed out on the other bit from South Africa. Not only did they have “A New Beginning”, but they also used the term “Good Governance” as a political slogan. Last time I saw it as in their recent media conference to announce that they had won a majority in their parliament.
Did you notice anything else? Well, they got their long-awaited 50.3% majority – something Jason must have been dreaming about when he announced at the counting halls that there was evidence to show that one party had got an absolute majority.
So many similarities. Our rugby team will win the world cup, next. :)

While the slogan may have been South African, his tactics are certainly Harvard-grown - check this article by a Sunday Times of London columnist who talks about what Harvard University teaches. Fat lot of good it did the MLP ... Antoine

This is completely off-topic, but very interesting. A long essay by leftist Micheal Briguglio on Labour between 96 and 2003:
