I have been following Anwar for years. When is the election? Do you think he will win?
Right now we have an election in Australia too. People say it will be very close but I think the Labor party will win. We have a female prime minister now. Her name is Julia Gillard.
I like the Green party and its leader, Bob Brown. He is trying to convince the major parties to deal with climate change and environmental issues more effectively.
