		In Northern Ireland, the election was dominated in the unionist community by a battle between the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) and the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) to be the region's largest unionist party in Parliament.
		Other elections in the province have shown both a shift in votes towards the DUP but also a collapse of support for the cross-community Alliance Party which is likely to be more marked in a first past the post election and thus which may work in the UUP's favour.
		The results were interpreted by the UK media as an indicator of a breakdown in trust in the government, and in the Prime Minister, Tony Blair, in particular.

		Most people prefer robust schlock, the comfortable stuff that is handed down from their grandparents and cherished regardless of the rings left by generations of mugs of hot tea on wooden surfaces or the places where long dead cats sharpened their claws.

		Most of America’s poor, it seemed, were members of working-class families that experienced privation only periodically—when the breadwinner was sick, when a recession threw him out of a job, when he had a household full of very young children to support, when he got old or disabled.
		Moreover, by the 1920s poverty seemed to be fading away as the second and third generations of once poor immigrants moved up the occupational ladder and out of their urban ghettos.
		General assistance for “unemployables” remained wholly in the hands of states and towns.

		The consequences were destructive not only for the constitutional position of Kosova, but also for the economy, health, education, science, culture, mass media,2 as well as the life of the Albanians in general.

		All of this indicates clearly that the general situation in Kosova has become very difficult in all the spheres of life in the recent years.
