well, this party is certainly a blast. i mean, hey! talk about communism and support the patent bill. patent bill and the WTO regime and the effect it will have on pharma prices will certainly help in "removing" poverty. and i'm surprised, they dont have a single woman in their politburo, perhaps they don't want any distractions. and so many bengalis and keraliites, that says a lot about a party with a "national" character!!
