		There is a consensus across UK music businesses that the networks’ role in supporting new music and in extending the range of music in which people are interested is critical to the health of the music industry.
		This may bring a greater diversity of stations into the UK market, but as commercial revenues grow it is unlikely that owners will invest a higher proportion of their income in content, and they may well invest proportionately less.

	Snap yourself with a nose peg from Guardian Unlimited: Election 2005
		The only way to get a left wing agenda back into parliament is to not vote Labour, reduce their unbeatable majority and as my former member of parliament said, bloody the Blair nose.
		On the long term this could lead to the disintegration of the principles the UN are attempting to maintain, we wonât have a moral high ground and in turn other nations will follow suit including nations with unpleasant regimes.
		If 14.5% of the general electorate for each constituency who voted Labour in 2001, declined to vote, or switched their allegiance, there would be 304 Labour MPs, 238 Tories, 69 Lib Dems, 11 SNP members, 4 Plaid Cymru MPs, 6 Ulster Unionists, 5 DUPs, 4 Sinn Fein MPs, 3 SDLP, and 2 others.
