... after an "embarrassing" World Cup ? Just asking ...
Sky News reports on India's reaction to hunger-striking anti-corruption campaigner Anna Hazare:
"His message has struck a chord with millions of ordinary voters. Indians - especially the growing and increasingly assertive middle class - are sick and tired of the endless cycle of corruption scandals. The disastrous start to the Commonwealth Games is now a symbol of the harm caused to the country by corruption.
Unfinished construction work and a dirty athlete's village is a consequence, it is claimed, of having a political class which allegedly pockets billions of pounds from the public purse. Analyst Raja Mohan told Sky News the government is facing a major crisis to its authority."
Update: And this just in ! The question is whether all these ministerial resignations in Brazil are bad news or good - the latter because maybe the country is now beginning to deal with it's corruption problem rather than sweeping it under the carpet ? No doubt I'm being overly optimistic.
