this one should work:

Either the current one or the last (i was browsing), it was about the so-called Movement for Democratic change, which the UK govt has been giving rather a lot of support. YZ happens to chance upon a fact that the MDC is actually negotiating with the IMF and World Bank , and exposing the MDC as a Blair type party, a 3rd Way in Zimbabwe.
I am angry that the political situation is being exploited by the UK govt in this way, and that exiles are being put in danger, whatever their opinions.

me again. i thought this might be a place to continue the matter of the true nature of the so-called MDC. you say you would rather live under the MDC than under RM. but do you actually live in zim ? i guess not (if im wrong, apologies).

a friend of mine , a white rhodesian now in britian, has been very candid with me about the situation there. he was the son of a farmer, and for years he was pleading with his family to start institituing some reforms on the farm, (pensions, land returns, better wages, etc). in his own words, his father was a 'racialist', and so, no dice.
whatever the problems facing modern zimbabwe, he concluded, 'things had to change', referring to when ian smith had to concede power to RM in 1980. i think he got it about right, and i commend his honesty for accepting the unavoidable setbacks the white settlers have had to face if africans are to even begin building their freedom.
zimbabwe must be allowed to make its own mistakes in peace, free form outside interference. its easy for post-imperial british citizens to lapse into the mentality of 'putting the world to rights', but zim is not my direct concern, therefore i have no right to condemn RM. neither has has Mr Blair.

No I don't live in Zimbabwe; but I know trade unionists and socialists who do, and who are currently part of the MDC.

They're not fools, they know perfectly well of the Blairite/neo-liberal elements in the MDC. But the main battle in Zimbabwe right now is for the right to organise and protest, which is increasingly denied by Mugabe's Zanu-PF regime (in the name of the war on terrorism!).

But don't take my word for it. Below is a link to three (brief!) articles from Socialist Worker from just after last year's elections in Zimbabwe. The second is an interview with Munyaradzi Gwisai, a Zimbabwean socialist who explains very clearly the contradictions in the MDC.

forgot the link, here it is:
