Beelzebub is starting to complain that his commute to the upper world is being blocked by a surfeit of countries in handbaskets.
Pakistan was clearly already balancing on the edge of its basket and waiting for a push; I'm a bit surprised that Kenya has fallen in so firmly so fast. Not a vintage year for democracy in the former Soviet Union - Georgia backsliding after a very promising start, and Russia itself displaying the tact and subtlety that has so often characterised the KGB. Ukraine muddling through.
Thailand seems to be getting out of its basket a little, though I don't know if we've seen all of the generals' response to the election results.
And most of the countries of the rich West have managed to wedge themselves sideways in handbaskets made out of inadequately-decorrelated securitised debts.
Could someone please follow up with a succession of glorious successes?
