Libya sacks its new Prime Minister

Yeah, things are great over there. http://www.ajc.com/ap/ap/international/libyan-pm-risks-losing-post-if-cabinet-rejected/nSW8K/ By ESAM MOHAMED The Associated Press TRIPOLI, Libya — Libya's parliament ousted the country's new prime minister in a no-confidence vote on Sunday, the latest blow to hopes that political factions could agree on a government charged with restoring stability after last year's civil war. Mustafa Abushagur was the first prime minister to be elected after the 2011 overthrow of dictator Moammar Gadhafi. He represented an offshoot of the country's oldest anti-Gadhafi opposition movement, and was considered a compromise candidate acceptable to both liberals and Islamists.

  1. P.S. I dont even know why DrudgeReport mentioned Chavez losing in the exit polls. Chavez controls all the votes, all the machines. Of course he is going to "win"

    1. Chevez controls the state run media so all of his campaign was covered in detail while his opponent's was largely ignored. He didn't have to control the voting machines to win.

  2. Venezuela has just about redistributed all of the wealth left to redistribute. Now their infrastructure will collapse. Who is going to start a new business or grow an existing one when the Government comes in and takes it?
