Heart On Snow

Bé, han passat molts de dies des de les eleccions i tinc el bloc mig parat, no per falta de ganes sino per falta de temps i energia. En fi, ja s’ha dit tot i no tinc gaire cosa a afegir.
No sé on han anat a parar les persones que van manifestar-se el 10 de juliol.
No m’agrada veure com els partits que em cauen bé (de vegades) lluiten pel mateix troç de pastis, mentres els de dretes i nacionals espanyols escombren allà on van.
No m’ha agradat, i em fa temor, la pujada dels racistes.

Només ho puc compensar amb un canvi d’aires. Ja que anem a l’hivern i nadal, aqui tenim a Marc Almond cantant Heart On Snow amb Maizaka.

Sorry for not offering an immediate update on the Catalan election results but I have my excuses ... anyway, here it is, the right-wing Catalan party CiU obtained 62 seats (48 in 2006). The PSC socialists dropped from 37 to 28. Left-wing Catalan republicans, ERC, fell from 21 to 10.Left-wing Greens, ICV, fell from 12 to 10. Spanish conservative party PP rose from 14 to 18 seats. Ciutadans, right-wing undefinable “Catalans” held on to their 3 seats. And SI, the new party, proposing an immediate declaration of independence gained 4 seats – a success given the fact that they were allowed very little, or no, media coverage prior to the election.

So the left-ish coalition of PSC, ERC, and ICV cannot reach a majority of 68 this time, which leaves CiU as the governing party, and their leader Artur Mas as the new President of Catalunya, to be sworn in some time next week. The good note of the results is that, luckily, a racist anti-immigrant party, PxC, did not obtain parliamentary representation although they got about 3% of the vote.

Changing the mood, let’s look forward to winter and Christmas. Here’s Marc Almond singing Heart on Snow with Maizaka.
