So what do your wife and Experiment think of Marina? :0)

'Green tsunami' gathers force in South America
nzherald.co.nz

This is now the great mystery of Brazilian politics: what will Marina do?" says a journalist.

"Marina" is Marina Silva, leader of Brazil's Green Party, and the speaker, Altino Machado, is one of her oldest friends.

But Marina has already done something remarkable: she persuaded one-fifth of Brazil's voters to support the Green Party.

Twenty per cent is the second-highest share of the vote ever won by any Green Party anywhere. (The record-holder is Antanas Mockus, the Green candidate in the recent election in Colombia, who got 27 per cent of the vote.)

But Brazil, with more than 200 million people, is the country that really counts in South America and what has happened there is, in the words of the Rio de Janeiro paper O Dia, a "green tsunami".

Among other things, this remarkable result makes Marina Silva the kingmaker in the second round of the Brazilian election.
