		<description><![CDATA[This picture of the G8 Leaders sitting around a table together, is very symbolic because whilst they can arrange a meeting and deliver a conference, the one thing that they can&#8217;t do is deliver their electorates. Solving the Euro crisis would be simple if either the Eurozone countries opted for a “United States of Europe” [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The French have that lovely expression: “Plus ça change plus c&#8217;est la même chose”- The more things change, the more they stay the same and I suspect that that is the case with the election of Francois Hollande as the new French President. The truth is that for all the noises and echoes of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a rather clear sign of what the public think about Local Elections generally, a turnout of under 30% on Thursday rather paints the picture all too well. The truth of course tells us absolutely nothing of any value because only those with some kind of commitment and/or anger, will bother to turn out. In [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[However, I don't think that these commercial operations are totally wrong in their complaint that the BBC enjoys an “unfair advantage” because in one sense, it does. Whereas commercial operators profits will rise and fall with their output, the BBC is like a Premier Football Club that can never be relegated to a lower division.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unless and until, the glaring democratic deficit of us living in an "elected dictatorship" run by whoever has a majority between elections is addressed and a fresh view taken of the Separation of Powers, there can hardly be any justification for doing anything to the Lords. Anything you can imagine is just an exercise in rearranging deckchairs and at that a dangerous thing to do.]]></description>

For the British, the sovereignty of the islands is non-negotiable until/unless the Falkland Islanders want to look at the possibility. It is for the Argentinians [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rather like militant atheists, Scottish Nationalists lack any sense of humour. Also, the tactic of Alec Salmond is always to suppress any debate within Scotland and to totally exclude the rest of the UK from having any say. His tactic seems to be to seize on any comments made by any Westminster politician as “foreign interference” and totally ignore any sensible discussion of the key issues, it is a dangerous tactic for both Scotland and perhaps, the First Minister himself.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to the economy, Governments can make things worse with bad decisions and thereby increasing the tax burden but they don't have the ability to makes things better, unless it is by slashing public spending and therefore reducing taxes. And like it or not, wealth creation is down to the private sector through ingenuity or Acts of God that give a nation natural resources.]]></description>
