The world. As you may have seen in your own country, or as the slide show indicates, theres a Global Movement toward candidate debates making candidate debates a part of elections in a diverse range of countries. Its at least 65 countries so far. And i suspect the number is higher. Why are more countries organizing debates . I think there are several reasons. Debates provide a unique opportunity to compare candidates.

If they wanted to do this at a cheaper price they would buy the nuclear fuel on the open market. There is a glut oist, particularly after the japanese closed down so many of their reactors. But there was a glut before that time. And so it doesnt make a lot of sense for the
