		It provides clear evidence that the UK is well placed to make dramatic reductions in its emissions through the development of energy efficiency, renewable energy and combined heat and power (CHP).
		These technologies will be essential if the UK is to continue to make the emissions reductions that will be necessary to meet, and go beyond, the targets set under the Kyoto Protocol.
		This is despite a statement in his New Year message to the UK that 2002 would be the year of 'renewables'.

		Such embargoes are routinely flouted in the UK but not in America, where the courts have upheld them.
		Given his record, one may suspect that he was fed the Swiftvet stuff by Regnery with the acquiescence of the far-right political interests that finance the Eagle publishing operation.

		Nuance is a dirty word in American political advertising.
		This is in stark contrast to the editorial it interrupts - endless hours of political cut and thrust on the 24 hour cable news channels and network news and current affairs shows, which relentlessly dissect the finer points of both campaigns ad nauseam.
		With a media spend of "only" $2m behind this particular ad, it can achieve little more than its secondary objective: to introduce Kerry to the voters in the 17 "swing" states where both sides will be focusing æbetween now and November.

		UK Democracy relies on an old-fashioned first-past-the-post electoral system, with 646 elected Members of Parliament in Westminster serving local areas called constituencies.
		The UK media have made much play of the feud between Blair and the Chancellor of the Exchequer (the UK "Finance Secretary") Gordon Brown, Labour's number 2.
		Nonetheless the UK economy has been good under Labour, prices stable, inflation low, and whatever the criticisms of media spin and King Blair, they have been in general effective managers.
