"no votes"

The European elections showed to most governments that the ruling parties have the days counted, the example WorldWatch reports
here shows just how fragile the arrogance of some governments are.
Portugal is such a case, the arrogant socialist ruling party under the leadership of Prime minister Socrates, has been given a warning in the election poles.
General elections are in three months but if this government continues to be arrogant , continues to serve the oil companies like Galp, Repsol, BP and Cepsa, allowing these companies to weekly increase final consumer prices at the pump for motorists then they will certainly loose .
Portugal faces one of the biggest unemployment in Europe, is deeply in recession, consumer confidence is at the lowest level in 30 years, has one of the worlds highest final consumer price per litre for petrol, education and health services are in ruins, corruption is strife, all this has reached the turning point.
There is a civic movement entitled "no votes" with over ten thousand followers and rising, all they want is for the oil companies to stop abusing the population with weekly increases in fuel prices..
This situation will certainly bring down any government.
