\u00a0Or is it just too obscure?<\/li>\n<li>Very disappointed in the Swaziland result, but my guess is that it&#8217;s the fact that there&#8217;s so little media attention paid (outside of southern Africa), so people don&#8217;t know where this is. \u00a0Of course the same may be said of Georgia, but many Europeans will at least have a vague sense of where Georgia is.<\/li>\n<li>The Bahrain campaign is the next one we&#8217;ll shut down in another 11 days, and it&#8217;s unlikely (unfortunately) that it will be one of the special ones that clears the 5,000 mark. \u00a0Too bad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, what do others think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bahrain &#8211; 4,671 (after 79 days) +5 Georgia &#8211; 3,412 (after 7 days) +60 Iraq &#8211; 3,391 (after 37 days) +5 Botswana &#8211; 3,343 (after 31 days) +3 Colombia &#8211; 2,773 (after 17 days) +6 Swaziland &#8211; 2,338 (after 77 days) +2 Russia &#8211; 1,663 (after 28 days) +7 (Updated after 3 days &#8211; the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.labourstart.org\/blogs\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1750"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.labourstart.org\/blogs\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.labourstart.org\/blogs\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.labourstart.org\/blogs\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.labourstart.org\/blogs\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1750"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.labourstart.org\/blogs\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1750\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1755,"href":"https:\/\/www.labourstart.org\/blogs\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1750\/revisions\/1755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.labourstart.org\/blogs\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.labourstart.org\/blogs\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.labourstart.org\/blogs\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
