The Governor of Wisconsin resisted

Those who recently protest against the policy of Governor Scott Waker voted for him in the election

The inhabitants of Wisconsin voted against the recall of the republican governor. In the United States, the past vote is called the most important in the five months that remained before the presidential election.

What is formally called the election of the governor is, in fact, an attempt from a recall from the post of Republican Scott Waker, who took office only a year and a half ago and almost immediately decisively began to fulfill what his republican colleagues in other states did not dare to. For the sake of reducing the growth of state expenditures, he pushed through the republican majority in the standard legislature the approval of the law, providing for the restriction of trade unions representing public servants. The trade unions were deprived of the right to conduct negotiations on behalf of their members on raising salaries, but, most importantly, tens of thousands of civil servants had to pay more money from their own pocket for medical and pension insurance.

An unheard of attempt by the governor to the rights of trade unions provoked noisy thousands of demonstrations, a lawsuit and collecting signatures for holding elections for the review of the governor. The court recognized the constitutionality of the new law. The election on June 5 should have an answer to the question to which they were in the fundamental ideological confrontation of the moment: for the republican thesis "there are fewer government expenses and less government invasion of market processes" or for the democratic "more expenses and a more significant role of the government."

The convincing victory of the current governor of the Republican Scott Waker over Miluoi mayor Democrat Tom Barrett left, nevertheless, a wide field for interpretations of this result. The loser of the governor of the governorship Tom Berret speaks of a purely local meaning of this vote:

- Some are trying to present this event as an election of national significance. In my opinion, these are elections that will determine the future of our families, answer the question whether there will be jobs in our state. In other words, we determine the future of our state. These elections have nothing to do with the political hopes of those who do not live in our state.

But the loser clearly remains in the minority. Many political scientists indicate that Walker’s measures led to the promised results in Wisconsin: the state lives on the means, the taxes were not increased, more than a third of the union members, according to the eccide, voted for the governor. Encouraged Republicans hope that the election of the governor in Wisconsin, where voters voted in the Barack Obama in the past presidential election, say about the fundamental change of moods in the state.
