Today’s news is occupied by the report of
Wikileaks.
Mr. Julian Assange, the founder of
Wikileaks has launched a new political party entitled “Wikileaks Party”. He also
prepares to be a candidate of Senator in Australia.
Wikileaks Party has transparency as an
ideology. Mr. Assange is also concerned about the issue of refuge. They are quite
suitable to his position and biography. On the other hand, it is interesting
that he is trying to enter the political world with the means of general
election. I considered that he was an anarchist. Indeed, the USA deems him as a
high-tech terrorist.
He stays at the Ecuadorian embassy in
London. Of course he has to move to Australia to take his own seat of the Senate.
However, The British government seems to arrest him for the allegation against
him of rape in Sweden, if he leaves the Ecuadorean Embassy. So his political
activity cannot be realistic.
Wikileaks is fielding 6 candidates other than Mr. Assange to get the
seats in the next election in Sep. 2013. If Mr. Assange cannot go back to Australia,
Other candidates will have to play a more important role. But they are not well
known compared to Mr. Assange. Furthermore, Mr. Assange is hard to get along
with. They were quarreling among themselves in the past. I think the way to the
seats for Wikileaks is quite severe.
