Both UKIP and its charismatic leader, Nigel Farage, have slipped in opinion polls and have struggled to get attention. More important, Cameron has said almost nothing about either Europe or immigration and, though Miliband s clearly stated pro EU stance has endeared his candidacy to many business leaders, he, too, has played down the issue.

They should make a strategic decision to engage Iran without any pre conditions in discussions on a broad range of issues of significance to both sides. During his candidacy, Obama said of Iran that, For us not to be in a conversation with them doesn t make sense. Now, he has the opportunity to follow through.

With the end of Ahmadinejad s second and final term fast approaching, it seems unlikely that the disgraced, unpopular president will abandon his efforts to destabilize Iran s ruling establishment.

But there s only one Trump, and his candidacy is causing conniptions on the part of Republican Party officials, particularly given his campaign s open hostility toward Latinos.

Although India s presidency is primarily a ceremonial post that carries less weight than that of prime minister (the position once held by Indira Gandhi), it is symbolically significant. Sonia Gandhi, the leader of the ruling Congress Party, who pushed hard to promote Patil s candidacy primarily on gender grounds, calls this election a special moment for women across the country.
