[lbo-talk] Socialists Take Control in Portugal

[mike larkin]

"LISBON (Reuters) - Portugal's opposition Socialists
won clear control of parliament in Sunday elections,
ousting the prime minister after only seven months in
power, according to exit polls.

The Socialists led by former environment minister Jose
Socrates polled 46.9 percent to 50.7 percent of the
vote, according to a poll for SIC television.

The results give them the absolute majority needed to
implement their platform to boost the lagging economy
in western Europe's poorest country."
