I love a bit of grass roots politics. Recently the incumbent Estonian president was beaten in a vote for the presidency by a younger, more 'western' candidate. The three gentlemen on the banner on top of the car are from the left of Estonian politics, and basically the occupants of this car were protesting that if the incumbent won then it would be a massive backwards step for Estonia, hence "stop communism". To cut a very long story short, the left used some pretty dodgy methods to get there man across the line, but because 70% of Estonians hated him he lost anyway. George W Bush and Queen Elizabeth are due here soon, and now they will get to meet a president who speaks English, though I'm still unsure if Dubya actually speaks English!!!
