		<description><![CDATA[Today cricket, tennis and football put their case to the DCMS Select Committee asking for a share of betting profits to fight match fixing. On the face of it seemingly absurd.  It is similar to the horseracing industry demanding a slice of virtual racing that Licensed Betting Operators put on (to avoid paying the Levy).

Back in the Autumn I believed it was Hillary’s to lose; now the once invincible Clinton machine has ended up in a dead heat, crippled by poll-tested corporate packaging and [...]]]></description>

The Republican race is polarising between two issues a faltering economy (Mitt Romney’s supposed “strength”), the evil of terrorism (John McCain supposed “strength”). Will the darkest fears become the new vision as the election heats up?
The Democratic race has been thrown of [...]]]></description>

Last week the Conservative Party called for a debate on the modern slave trade – human trafficking.  According to the US State Department 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders each year – approximately 50% of those are minors.
As soon as the debate appeared in the Order Paper the Government announced it was ratifying the Council [...]]]></description>

With George Bush’s terrible poll ratings Republican candidates will have a hard time to win the White House and with the Democratic race creating more of the buzz it will be easier for Obama or Hillary to “be the change”...]]></description>

How they are answered will determine the Union of the future. I just want to discuss here the West Lothian question.
