Reformist party's revival

I'm seeing positive signs of the reform movement's revival, particularly in Jebhe-ye Mosharekat party.

In an American-style move, and for the first time in Iran, they've introduced a candidate for the vice-presidency, a spokeswoman, and have asked for people's contributions for their campaign in an ad in Shargh Newspaper. They've also launched a new daily newspaper, called Eqbal with a very small editorial staff, and have re-launched the Emrooz website too.

Their gathering in Tehran has apparently been successful too. Here are some pictures, including the blue-dressed Elaheh Koulai who was the only MP who refused to wear Chador in the parliament.

Hey Hoder, I read that cool cartoon-biography about you in the Toronto section of today's G&M. It was pretty cool, but I didn't think it really looked anything like you! Smiles! :-D
