How to Profit from Japan's August General Election / ElectionOracle / Japanese Stock Market
By: Money_Morning
Martin Hutchinson writes: Investors who pay attention to Japan’s looming election can expect to be well-rewarded for their time.
Normally, we confess, Japanese elections don’t matter much, because the same guys always win. However, this one – set for Aug. 30 – looks different: It may actually bring about the first real change in Japan’s government in 55 years. That’s important. The opposition has different ideas about what the Japanese economy looks like. That means you should be buying different Japanese stocks, not the well-known names

Engineering a Strong UK Economic Recovery into a May 2010 General Election / ElectionOracle / UK General Election
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The big news from an economic prospective was the recent ONS revision to UK 1st Quarter GDP data from a contraction of -1.9% (April 09) to now -2.4% . The response in the mainstream media was virtually unanimous, shock and horror at the degree of contraction in the 1stQ which is the worst since 1958. However what the mainstream media have failed to comprehend is that the effect of a significantly lower 1st quarter GDP sets the scene for a lower base from which the economy can recover, as the NEXT FOUR quarters will show a GREATER BOUNCE in the data released in the run up to the May 2010 GENERAL ELECTION as I elaborate upon in this article.

Iran's Election and US - Iranian Election / ElectionOracle / Iran
By: Stephen_Lendman
In the run-up to Iran's June 12 presidential election, early indications suggested the media's reaction if the wrong candidate won. On June 7, New York Times writer Robert Worth reported "a surge of energy (for) Mir Hussein Mousavi, a reformist who is the leading contender to defeat Mr. Ahmadinejad (and) a new unofficial poll (has him well ahead) with 54 percent of respondents saying they would vote for him compared with 39 percent for Mr. Ahmadinejad." No mention of who conducted the poll, how it was done, what interests they represented, or if Mousavi winning might be the wrong result. More on that below.

D-Day for Gordon Brown Following Labour European Elections Crash / ElectionOracle / European Elections
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Gordon Brown having survived Friday's reshuffle by the aid of Lord Mandelson's arm twisting persuasion of the remaining Cabinet Blairites to not bring the Prime Minister down after Mandelson himself was bribed or awarded with the new title of First Secretary of State, but revelation of the content of his emails shows Mandelson's loyalties are just skin deep.

UK Economy Set for Debt Fuelled Economic Recovery Into 2010 General Election / ElectionOracle / UK General Election
By: Nadeem_Walayat
This analysis seeks to update the UK Recession Watch (Feb 09) that forecast a recession which would see GDP peak to trough contraction of 6.3% and followed by economic recovery in the fourth quarter of 2009. In conjunction with the economic analysis, this article will also seek to forecast the date of the next general election as well as outcome of the vote in terms of MP seats per major party. The recession to date has seen GDP contraction of 4% which implies that the worst now 'should' be behind the economy, with average GDP contraction of less than 1% per quarter forecast for Q2 and Q3 thus should now start to be reflected in various economic indicators.

UK General Election Forecast 2010, Seats Per Political Party / ElectionOracle / UK General Election
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Thursdays European Elections are expected to deliver an horrendous result for the Labour government that will likely see a major restructuring of the cabinet on Friday that could even claim the Chancellor of the Exchequer as Gordon Brown seeks to put in place a team untainted by the the expenses scandal to muster at the next general election. Whilst many now openly question whether Gordon Brown himself can survive as panic spreads amongst Labour MP's that will clutch at anyone that could help prevent them from losing their seats at an general election.

Labour Governments Bankrupt Scorched Earth UK Economy for the Conservative Government / ElectionOracle / UK Debt
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The Labour government is reeling from the MP expenses scandal that looks set to see as many as half of its members of parliament disappear at the next General Election. A recent opinion poll in the Times puts Labour trailing behind the fringe Euro-skeptic UKIP party at just 16%, with the opposition Conservatives at 30% are failing to fully capitalise on Labours meltdown due to their own crooked MP's, and the Lib Dem's similarly skimming along at a low 12%. Whilst this and similar polls are dire for the Labour party which do suggest electoral wipeout in the June 4th European Elections, however they do not represent what is likely to occur at the May 2010 General Election which this article will seek to elaborate upon.

Gordon Brown Bankrupts Britain to Win Next Election / ElectionOracle / UK General Election
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The UK economy is fast falling over the edge of the cliff by registering a GDP contraction of 0.5% in the 3rd quarter with the expectations of a fall of between 0.5% and 0.7% for the fourth quarter which would put the UK officially in recession. With worse to come during 2009 and all of the governments golden rules now well and truly busted following the bank bailouts, Gordon Brown has now thrown caution to the wind so as to meet the primary goal at any cost to win the next election for which the June 2010 deadline looms.Read full article...
