I have started this so people can have a quick links guide to political news and party sites in Asia and the Pacific.

If you would like to add more especcialy of many of the other nations (which you may be native of) in Asia-Pacific to the list, by all means send me a PM. More links means more information.. which is never a bad thing :) I will constantly edit this first post with more links.

Governments on the Web
Asia - http://www.gksoft.com/govt/en/asia.html
Oceania - http://www.gksoft.com/govt/en/oceania.html

The two sites above cover quite a bit of information - more than this thread ever will be able to. However, this thread is not concerned with EVERY link we could possibly get - rather - the better links. If there are any problems, send me a PM (sites are down - sites are wrong etc)
Thanks,
Drummond

What we have so far in order..
Australia
New Zealand
Singapore
Indonesia
Japan
Philippines
