		The Secretary of State may be given some scope to make regulations, and no doubt he reminds the Cabinet of the Scottish dimension, but at the end of the day he is part of a larger team and has to implement and try to justify the policies which they determine.
		These include Parliament itself, the salaries, expenses of and perks of MP's and the much heavier costs of running the various Government departments and paying a vast number of Civil servants, some quite highly paid.
		In return, foreign countries spend part of the corresponding budget in the UK, overwhelmingly on Embassies in London, and on a very small scale on Consulates, a few of which are in Scotland.

		However, the Ministry of Defence played down the suggestion of any timetable for the removal of the 8500 UK troops in Iraq, saying that any cut in force levels was "contingent on the security situation and the availability of Iraqi forces to shoulder responsibility".
		The plan includes cutting the number of infantry battalions across the UK from 40 to 36, with the amalgamation of the smaller regiments into a series of regional “super-regiments”.
		The basis of the case is that the KOSB was raised "by beat of drum" near Holyrood Abbey by emergency order of the Scottish parliament eight years before the Act of Union created the United Kingdom in 1707 and that Westminster therefore has no jurisdiction over its fate.

		In a small town with one or two constituencies (Bournemouth, Reading, Peterborough and Dundee spring to mind)there are evening newspapers which could encourage debate about who is winning, who is saying what etc. It would probably not work so well in London, Birmingham, Bristol etc because of their size.
		The constituency has some of the Wokingham Lib Dem wards in it - if the top vote for each candidate at the local elections is totted up, the Lib Dems came first, not third as they did at the General Election.
		There is still a tradition in the Wokingham parts of the constituency of voting Lib locally and Tory nationally which means that in the GE the Libs will come a poor third as they have done for years in Reading.

		In grim echoes of the 1991 Dangerous Dogs Act in the UK and the Kampfehund laws in Germany, public outrage and media hysteria over a spate of vicious pit bull attacks during the summer prompted Ontario to say it will become the first province to ban the breed.
		HUNTING again dominated the political agenda in the UK when, as expected, the House of Lords voted by an overwhelming majority to amend the Government’s Hunting Bill to allow hunting to continue under licence – the so-called ‘Middle Way’ option, which was said to be favoured by the Prime Minister.
		But as with the UK, there was a strong risk of abuse if false complaints being made about dog behaviour, possibly as a result of long-standing feuds or disagreements between individuals or simply as a result of dog haters targeting any dog.

		The examples given (US 2000, UK 1951 and Feb 1974) all demonstrate the weakness of the FPTP electoral system when the contest is very close.
		What is being surmised for the upcoming UK election, however, is that the system we are currently operating is grossly distorted.
