GUARDIAN/ Rory Carroll /
CARROLL: "When ambitious siblings vie for political power there are two extremes. There is the Roman way: Romulus kills Remus for control of the city. There is the Labour way: David and Ed Miliband wish each other luck in the party leadership race.
Somewhere in between – call it the third way – is Ecuador, where President Rafael Correa and his brother Fabricio battle for influence through public insults and metaphorical daggers. Fabricio has just launched a political party to try to wrest control of the South American country from his younger brother and apparent nemesis, turning a family feud into a political soap opera."
