Roseanne Barr seeks Green Party presidential nomination

 (AP)  

WASHINGTON - Roseanne Barr said Thursday she's running for the Green Party's presidential nomination — and it's no joke.

The actress-comedian said in a statement that she's a longtime supporter of the party and looks forward to working with people who share her values. She said the two major parties aren't serving the American people.

"The Democrats and Republicans have proven that they are servants — bought and paid for by the 1% — who are not doing what's in the best interest of the American people," Barr said.

Roseanne Barr serious about running for president

Occupy Wall Street protesters popularized the "We are the 99 percent" slogan in their fight against economic disparity and perceived corporate greed.

Barr has submitted paperwork to the Green Party for her candidacy. The party's presidential nominee will be selected at a convention in Baltimore in July.

Barr said she has been fighting for working-class families and women for decades.

"I will barnstorm American living rooms," she said in a candidate questionnaire submitted to the Green Party. "Mainstream media will be unable to ignore me, but more importantly they will be unable to overlook the needs of average Americans in the run-up to the 2012 election."

Mexican Green Party in strong position for 2012 elections

 A Scholarly Review of Mexico and U.S.-Mexico Relations in 2012

A Scholarly Review of Mexico and U.S.-Mexico Relations in 2012

By Andrew Selee [1]

Five Questions:

1. What Will Happen in Mexico's 2012 Elections?

2. Will Organized Crime-Related Violence Increase in 2012?

3. How Will Mexico's Economy Perform in 2012?

4. Will Migration from Mexico Continue to Decrease in 2012?

5. What Issues will be on the U.S.-Mexico Policy Agenda in 2012?

1. What Will Happen in Mexico's 2012 Elections?

Mexicans go to the polls on July 1 to select a new president, congress, mayor of Mexico City, and five governors.  Elections in democratic societies have a way of confounding even the most seasoned political analysts, so there is no way of knowing how this one will turn out.  The most recent polls suggest that the PRI is far ahead in the presidential and congressional race.  However, the incumbent National Action Party (PAN) won't select its presidential candidate until February and the general election campaign won't really start until then, according to Mexico's electoral rules, so anything can happen.

The PRI has some clear advantages.  Enrique Peña Nieto is ahead by 20 points or more in most current polls,[2] and it remains the largest party in Mexico, with more than half the governorships, effective control of the lower house, and by far the largest public campaign financing (in coalition with the Green Party, PVEM, and New Alliance Party, PANAL).  However, the PAN's likely candidate, Josefina Vázquez Mota, is a highly popular former cabinet secretary and congresswoman known for her charisma and public appeal, and the PAN has the advantage (and disadvantage) of being the party in power.  Meanwhile, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the candidate of the left-of-center Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD) and two smaller parties (Workers' Party, PT, and Citizens' Movement, PMC), is a talented and popular politician who nearly won the 2006 election and has spent the past five years building a support base in each one of Mexico's municipalities, a base that has yet to be tested but could prove formidable if effective.  It would be unwise to discount any of the three parties, although the early advantage is clearly with the PRI.

Finnish Green Party Presidential Candidate moves to 2nd round!

Finnish voters snub anti-euro far-right

HELSINKI — Finland's nationalist anti-immigration Finns Party suffered a heavy setback in this weekend's presidential election, as many of its anti-euro voters fled to the equally eurosceptic Centre Party, observers said Monday.

The Finns Party soared in popularity in last April's legislative elections, becoming the third-biggest political formation with 19 percent of votes as its vehemently anti-EU rhetoric drew voters away from the Centre Party, which struggled to convey its euro opposition.

But in Sunday's first round of presidential voting, the Finns Party candidate and leader, the charismatic and popular Timo Soini, managed to scrape up just 9.4 percent despite a campaign that focused heavily on Finland's role in the eurozone.

The Centre Party's candidate Paavo Vaeyrynen, representing the clean-cut, urban image of euroscepticism, meanwhile won 17.5 percent of the vote.

"Traditional supporters of the Centre Party defected to Soini during the parliamentary elections, but not permanently," Helsinki university political science professor Tuomo Martikainen told AFP.

The two big winners on Sunday, who will meet in a run-off on February 5, were in fact both pro-Europeans: Sauli Niinistoe, the conservative National Coalition favourite going into the poll, took 37 percent of votes.

The Green Party's Pekka Haavisto won 18.8 percent.
