Well the results are in Civic Platform have won 209 seats in the lower house and 60 seats in the upper house with nearly 42% of the vote. I am so happy. The minor parties that propped up the PiS, Self-Defense of the Republic of Poland and League of Polish Families, have lost all their seats in Parliament.

Japan is fully capable of building a nuclear weapon but this should not be taken to mean it will do so, the country’s foreign minister has said. Taro Aso told a parliamentary committee on Thursday: “Japan is capable of producing nuclear weapons, but we are not saying we have plans to possess nuclear weapons.” Aso said the government would stick to Japan’s decades-long policy of not possessing, developing or introducing nuclear weapons to its shores, despite neighbour North Korea’s...
The Canadian parliament has recognised Quebecers as a nation within a united Canada after backing a proposal that had already led to the resignation of one minister in the minority Conservative. The House of Commons, voted 266-16 on Monday in favour of the motion which the government sees as a way of placating French-speaking separatists.
