    Georgia's main opposition bloc has said it will boycott the country's new parliament, protesting against what it says was a rigged election.

    "The opposition coalition refuses to work in the new parliament and will stay with its own people," opposition leader Levan Gachechiladze said.

    President Mikhail Saakashvili's ruling party has won Wednesday's poll with nearly 60% of the vote, officials say.

    Foreign monitors said the poll had not fully met international standards.

    Mr Saakashvili, seeking to avoid a repeat of the street battles that preceded those elections, has pledged to work with his opponents.

    Protest rally

    Mr Gachechiladze, who leads the United Opposition bloc, said at a news conference in Tbilisi that the opposition would not enter the parliament building in the capital.

    Mikhail Saakashvili now has the power to shape Georgia's future

    He also urged Georgians to join an opposition-led protest rally on 26 May - the country's Independence day.

    With all the votes counted, Mr Saakashvili's United National Movement secured about 120 of parliament's 150 seats - a constitutional majority, electoral officials said.

    The United Opposition bloc was in second place with 16 seats, and the Christian Democrats and the Labour Party also won enough votes to be represented in the new parliament.

    The size of Mr Saakashvili's victory will give him great power to shape Georgia's future, says the BBC's Matthew Collin in Tbilisi.

    He will now feel he can press ahead with his radical reformist agenda, with guaranteed support from a parliament dominated by his party.

    The president is also hoping to take Georgia closer to the West, and to join Nato.

    The point of this thread is to let other forum members know about this situation, as it hasn't been posted up yet.

    I really think your teachers need shooting...

    Well done young man, have a gold sticker, you have just contradicted yourself....

    Quote from your post...

    "Fulham have released eight players from the club including United States international captain Carlos Bocanegra, it announced on Friday"

    Seems thats been confirmed too, so how's that a rumour then young Yoda?

    And yes to me Bocanegra is a stupid suggestion, US captain... Sure he'll come and play for 8k a week :rolleyes:

    EDIT

    Christ your communication skills are bad. Please at least try and quote the thread you're talking about. I think I'd have more success communicating with a Chinese power station worker under rubble in Burma.

    IT ISN'T A TRANSFER AS YOU SAID.

    Therefore surely if you want to argue where it should be posted, it should be in GENERAL FOOTBALL.... As it doesn't concern Watford

    :whoosh::whoosh::whoosh::whoosh::whoosh:

    "Straight back at ya!" :rolleyes:

    Also please see thread above that, i miss read part of your original thread.

    ;D

    Like the title change.

    Anyway Yoda, that means we could post anything in this section, for example rumours that Drogba is moving.... 1,000,000 to 1 he'd come here, but there is still a chance of it...

    Tough call...all the best Euro Georgians already emigrated to the USA, and all the non-inbred American Georgians left the state....I'll have to go with us because it's part of the USA! USA! USA!

    What about Atlanta Vs the lost kingdom of Atlantis (before it was lost)?

    I'll go with Atlantis...Atlanta couldn't even keep the Union Army out.

    Yeah, but if those toothless hillbillies learn to instigate some rising damp, they will have the ancients fleeing for their lives.

    Come to think of it, the legend of Atlantis may actually be about Atlanta:
    A diverse modern metropolis lost, swallowed up by an ocean filled with brutish mindless bottomfeeders.
