Zimbabwe's Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has said that his Movement for Democratic Change party will accept nothing short of a powerful prime minister position.

Nothing less than executive power to whoever the MDC chooses to become the PM!
No reverence to the lunatic who has not only destroyed the socioeconimic fabrics of the society; he has established a rotten banana republic with the collusion of the corrupt Army and Police.
The Mugabe bunch of criminals must prepare to face trial for treason for having facilitated the usurpation of power through their massive anticonstitutional participation in this exercise. Another room in jail should be earmarked for the equally criminal Commissioner of the Electoral Commission.
Excellent, President Tsvangirai, keep it up. Do not waver on that stand. Mugabe can not be your senior. You beat him on March 29 and you were going to beat him again on June 27 if he had not violated the principles governing a fair fight. On that principle (of refusing to be used by Mugabe by becoming his junior), you can as well say 'if Zimbabweans are to suffer because I refuse to be Mugabe's surbodinate, then let them suffer'. Zimbabweans should understand that that's the sacrifice they have to pay for the struggle. In as much as Mugabe and Nkomo could not sell out by joining Ian Smith in the Internal Settlement of 1978 to end the war, Tsvangirai should not join Mugabe, the Smith of today. Let the Muzorewa of today (Mutambara) play his historical role. Let's see where that will get Mutambara and his tiny party.
