Freedom of the news media must be subordinated to the overriding needs of Singapore, and to the primacy of purpose of an elected government.
Although my seat is a contest between Labour and the Lib Dems, it could well make the difference between a Labour and a Tory government at the next election. In terms of international development, this choice is a very clear one.
I often traveled to Nicaragua to speak against repressive policies by the Sandinista government.
The misappropriation of resources provided by the government for weapons means the Nigerian military is unable to beat Boko Haram.
As far as the constitution allows me, I will try to ensure that there is responsible and accountable governance at all levels of government in the country. For I will not have kept my own trust with the Nigerian people if I allow others abuse theirs under my watch.
The thing that the Nigerian government will do is to secure the environment. If the environment is not secured, then unfortunately, the investments wouldn't be coming in.

The nominal budget is a poor indicator of the impact of government outlays and revenues.
There was in Italy a hidden demand for a boring government which would try to tell the truth in non-political jargon.

So if North Korea continues present isolation, then with such economic difficulties the North Korean government must meet a very serious situation in the future.
I'm a very brave person. I can go to North Vietnam, I can challenge my government, but I can't challenge the man I'm with if means I'm going to end up alone.
No Facebook status is as worrying as a vote and no tweet is as noticeable as an angry cry from a crowd outside a government building.
