“Flurry” is a good word to describe the process of the election results. Most of last night was spent waiting for projections, then when they eventually came, they came bundled together. Well there have been a flurry of motions in the Scottish Parliament offering congratulations to Obama today, and similar from world leaders and politicians, with Gordon Brown and David Cameron ‘fighting’ over how much they congratulate him.
The President of Kenya has even declared tomorrow a national holiday, and Russia has…
Ok, perhaps Russia is the exception. It’s moved Iskander missiles to Kaliningrad, to ‘counter the threat’ from the US missiles that will be stationed across eastern Europe. It would be interesting to see if Obama carries on with the defence shield.
