In who's name? Not in my name

I went to conversation and reading English literature today.


Today's topic is 'English Politics'





We talked about 'Labour party', 'Lory (conservative party)', 'Liberal democrat'


MP: Member of parliament


How they elect their MP in each constituancies.





The Prime minister: Mr. Tony Blair's constituancy is in County Durham.


Isn't it fantastic?





Northern England and Scotland tranditionally support the Labour party, still now.


Southern England where 'money' is, they tranditionally vote to 'the Lary'. However, Labour party still in power, I am afraid.





I asked about the Politics in Northern Ireland. Louise answered, well...


Unionists support untied with GB, however, there are some poeple vote to 'the Sinnfein', they are the IRA in politic form. She mentioned that until last year, the Sinnfien were not allowed enter the Parliament in England.





Next, we read a abstract of a novel 'Sataurday' by Ian MaKwan', the day of the anti-war protests in London. The novel for me is a little bit difficult when I first read them. Unlike my classmates, they can read very quickly. I guess because they are PhD students or visiting doctoral.





I like this class very much. I am lucky to have a such good English teacher when I am in Durham.
