Conservatives struck back saying voters reject the Labor Party because of his performance during his 13 years in government. “He (Brown) asked Britain to give a second glance to Labor when the public has been watching for 13 years and know they have failed,” said George Osborne, who is expected to become finance minister if the Conservatives win. Labor has won three elections since 1997 under the leadership of Brown”s predecessor Tony Blair. Brown took over as premier when Blair left office in the middle of his term in 2007. But the fate of the Labor Party has waned since the financial crisis swept Britain into recession.

In a televised speech on Saturday, her birthday number 59, Brown said his key campaign promises were to ensure economic recovery, support new industries and new jobs, protect essential public services and fight for the majority, not by a few. “I”m not perfect” Focus on the economy is a risky strategy for Brown, who was finance minister for 101000years before taking over as prime minister, and is therefore considered by many responsible voters in part by the crisis which has cost hundreds of thousands of jobs. » More: Brown seeks to reclaim the lead in British election campaign

Such questions would have been unthinkable during the era of pro-American governments of the post-war. And come at a bad time for America, whose military budget is suffocated by the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. Many Japanese believe that the country does not have to pay for the U.S. presence and some argue that there is much waste. The terms of the alliance between Tokyo and Washington is being reconsidered since Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama took office last September. Hatoyama said that the alliance remains a key aspect of Japanese foreign policy, but wants reassessed. The focus of the debate is the island of Okinawa, home to most of the hundred U.S. bases. Futenma air base, where several thousand Marines, had to be moved from Ginowan to Nago, a less populous island. But the plan was to see the election of a mayor who opposes the arrival of the base last month. In parallel, the U.S. is moving to Guam from Okinawa and 8,000 soldiers expected Japan”s contribution of $ 6,000 million this displacement of personnel costs. The malaise is evident in Ginowan, where the press often publishes pictures of golf Kadena Air Base and strongly criticizes the Americans whenever they are involved in an incident. “When people living in small house in crowded places, sees the conditions of the bases, they feel angry, “said Hideki Toma, an official who deals with the bases in Okinawa. ” This goes beyond the golf courses and copper are not toll roads, Toma said. “Okinawa was occupied after the Second World War and many wonder why it has to have bases here.” That”s a fairly widespread impression. » More: Generate discontent U.S. bases in Japan
