It's hard to imagine there's a major government in worse shape than California's, but the one in London looks that way of late. The scandal which took down the Speaker (a new one will be elected in about 3 weeks) continues to claim prominent heads, and more and more members of parliament are announcing they will not be candidates for reelection. It's expected that Prime Minister Brown will carry out a major reshuffle after the European elections in a last ditch effort to save his premiership. Of course the most interesting possibility toward that end would be major electoral reforms, but it remains to be seen how far he will go with such a proposal.
