Neil Hamilton should resign or be sacked
Article Abstract:
UK Conservative MP Neil Hamilton has clearly breached parliamentary regulations in a number of ways, including claiming a free airline ticket as a business expense and receiving payments from lobbyist Ian Greer. However, he is under much less pressure to resign than fellow Conservative MP Piers Merchant, who is alleged to have had an affair with a 17-year-old night-club hostess but did not go against parliamentary regulations. It is now time for the Conservative party to recognise that Hamilton is a liability and that he should be forced to resign.

The propaganda war being fought over Mr Mandelson's future
Article Abstract:
There has been speculation about the political career of Peter Mandelson, a politician from the United Kingdom Labor Party. One rumor is that he wants to be Secretary of State for Defense, a post to be vacated with the departure of George Robertson for Nato. It seems odd that he should behave in a way that would not allow his to achieve the goals that are attributed to him. Prime minister, Tony Blair, probably wants Mandelson back in government, but it is unlikely that he is involved most of the activities that have been attributed to him.
