K. Politics at Lancaster University if you believe the if you k. Politics at Lancaster University. If you believe the opinion polls the conservative party is almost certain to win over all the polls the conservative party is almost certain to win an overall so the largest number of seats but that doesnt necessarily mean that overall majority so the largest number of seats but that doesnt necessarily mean an overall majority and i think that more important ringback thing is that the 1000000000 poles are guessing though and i think the more important thing is that theyve been polls are guessing. They can refine their methodology as much they like but this is the most difficult elections called a look at refine their methodology as much they like but this is the most difficult election to call it in my lifetime and i say this because the putting people in my lifetime and i say this because the voting patterns sickly with an electorate which is see that in with this hidden talents houghtons sickly with an electorate which is see that in with this hidden talent really with bushie all of the parties thats the kind of thing thats kind of situation really with virtually all of the parties thats the kind of thing thats got a situation in which it really is very difficult to predict the parties have generation in which it really is very difficult to predict the parties have to generate enthusiasm all the troops to get them out to vote at a time to rid the troops of very intense easy out of the ball the troops to get them out to vote at a time to rid the troops a very discontented and really frankly baffled by whats been going on for the last 3 years discontented and really frankly baffled by whats been going on for the last 3 years.

U. Set founding members want to have the clout that they once had there is only one way to do it to make the e. U. Is that they once heard there is only one way to do it to make the e. U. A superpower in the realms of Foreign Policy and defense a boy would for many superpower in the realms of Foreign Policy and defense a boy would for many for a European Army something that we know that machall wants but it will for a European Army something that we know that machall wont. But it will have resistance to it that you use highly fragmented internal perhaps resistance to it that you use highly fragmented internal power structures mean that it lacks the capacity to stand up to more centralized powers such as russia and china structures mean that it lacks the capacity to stand up to more centralized powers such as russia and china divisions in the e. U. Are causing not just internal tensions divisions in the e. U. Are causing not just internal tensions but it means the block is being prevented from achieving real superpower status but it means the block is being prevented from achieving real superpower status and without that status some believe that its likely that the old guard and without that status some believe that its likely that the old guard wont survive this new do. Are to survive this new do. Arty paris we spoke to political commentator paolo or a phony about paris we spoke to political commentator paolo or a phony about this and he too says the e. U. Is struggling to compete against major powers about this and he too says the e. U. Is struggling to compete against major powers. This idea that the European Union may become a power this sadia that the European Union may become a power that may compete with real superpowers in the world. That may compete with real superpowers in the world is a dream. Absolutely i dont see this possibility on the contrary what is the dream. Absolutely i dont see this possibility on the contrary what i see is the german and french axis that has been so much in the german and french axis that has been so much emphasized over the years and particularly after the ground emphasized over the years and particularly after the ground agreements easts broke actually and doesnt work anymore agreements easts broken actually and doesnt work anymore if not for the formalities so these possibility that france and jor if not for the formalities so these possibility that france and germany would really create a European Military power capable of competing with the it would really create a European Military power capable of competing with the rest of the world 8 seats absolutely muscle and it is not in the interest of the world 8 seats absolutely muscle and it is not in the interest of the United States that by the way theyre still present with their military bases in years to the United States that by the way theyre still present with their military bases in europe and nato so i do not see very much how this can be achieved and nato so i do not see very much how this can be achieved in the near future. 7 doctors are on trial.

With with the right incentives to buy your tactics and removing this oversight of the source of in fact action valentino in there would be live there was no Conscientious Objection on behalf of the doctor that intervened in this case because there was no Conscientious Objection on behalf of the doctor that intervened in this case because there was no voluntary terminations of the pregnancy but the miscarriage was forced by the grave circumstances or rule out that a doctor could have told the family what they say he told them there was no voluntary terminations of the pregnancy but the miscarriage was forced by the grave circumstances or rule out that a doctor could have told the family what they say he told them what about what abortions has have been legal illegal in in the least since 1968 at the law does it give but the lord does give doctors to the right refusing on news more moral more ground rules and.

I know its hard as many of those women want the baby but im kind of attentive but in abortions that they have of that i know its hard to make many of those women in one thing to be maybe but at ease and convenience that they have the right to vote to have their informed before hand raised about this christmas and that it must be a womans consider choice if she wants to take the risk im pretty loesser against consider choice if she wants to take the risk im pretty monsour against abortion morally speaking not only because im a catholic of the. Morally speaking not only because im a catholic girl because my single because i think there are so many way to ground but it must be because i think theyre out soley anyway with Ground Breaking us.
