I hope Latvians take ownership of the system by using whatever legal means available but it is a deeply flawed system at present.TRexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018204726663523430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9034006406987868261.post-21549152063131791762010-04-18T13:59:20.997-07:002010-04-18T13:59:20.997-07:00I agree with you!

Effectiveness of Mr Maizitis tenure was very much prevented by the questionable quality of the lawmaking branch....and probably precautionary nature of Mr Maizitis himself.
