Venezuelan textbooks teach math, science, socialism

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) Students here study math by calculating the benefits of government land takeovers. They practice English by reciting where late President Hugo Chavez was born and learn civics by explaining why the elderly should give him thanks.

Pro-administration messages scattered through the pages of Venezuela's textbooks have become yet another point of conflict in this hyper-polarized country, where Chavez's socialist party won a bare majority in the presidential elections of 2013.

Spains ruling Peoples Party (PP) came first in an opinion poll on Sunday, one of its strongest results in recent surveys, while the Socialists and left-wing newcomer Podemos were in close second and third place respectively.

Of those surveyed, 28.6% said they would vote for the the centre-right PP, the poll showed, still a huge slip from the 44.6% absolute majority with which it won the 2011 elections.

Prime Minister Mariano Rajoys party does not have a big rival on the right of the political spectrum, and a large problem for the PP would be abstention, the poll showed.

Spain is expected to hold parliamentary elections later this year. Around a fifth of those who voted for the PP in 2011 would abstain this time round, the poll found.

Support for the Socialist Party (PSOE) has been sapped by Podemos, the poll showed. The Socialists would take 23.4% of the vote, down from the 28.8% they won in 2011. Year-old Podemos came a close third with 23.2%.

Of those who voted for the Socialists in the last general election, 18.7% would now choose Podemos, the poll showed.

The survey was carried out by pollsters NC Report, interviewing 1600 Spaniards from December 9 to December 30 2015.Reuters

Tories road to socialism

DAVID Camerons public relations nightmare continued yesterday as Labour once again hammered Tory NHS privatisation plans.

A Tory poster parodied thousands of times since it was published at the last general election came back to haunt the Prime Minister again.

The original poster bearing Mr Camerons airbrushed face read: We cant go on like this. Ill cut the deficit, not the NHS.

But the latest reworking published by Labour yesterday said: The Tories want to cut spending on public services back to the levels of the 1930s, when there was no NHS.

It was launched by Labours election strategy chief Douglas Alexander along with a dossier detailing the damage done to the NHS under the Tories.

It shows how seven out of 15 patients rights enshrined in the NHS constitution have been breached including by soaring waiting times for A&E and cancer tests.

And, in a bid to make the general election a referendum on the NHS, Mr Alexander warned that the NHS wont survive another five years of David Cameron.

There is nothing which better symbolises the difference between Labours vision for the future and that of the Tories than our NHS, he said.

Another five years of this rotten government could put us on course for a doubling of the scale of privatisation as competition is put before patient care.

British Medical Association chairman Dr Mark Porter also delivered a blow to the governments record.
