Banana Republic
The Times has learnt that the Government has, for the first time in a general election, invited international observers to monitor the last week of the campaign. The Warsaw-based Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights will decide in the next two days whether to accept the invitation. "We don't investigate and we would not micromanage the police, but postal voting will be looked at if we accept," a spokeswoman said.
So Zimbabwe had Commonwealth and EU monitors - Iraq had a Canadian based organisation and Labour invites a Warsaw based group here... funny old world eh?
