Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Smoking in the UK: Was the government right to ban smoking in all public places: 23 of 31
The ban on smoking in public places is fundamentally an issue of liberty, from whichever side of the argument you come.

Is there any reason why somebody should not be able to own a piece of the Moon in the same way they own a piece of the Earth? No. The problem is who owns the Moon?

Business > International Business & Trade Globalization: Who benefits from it?: 46 of 61
In short, globalisation benefits everybody in the long term along with western consumers, and workers in developing countries, in the short term.

Politics, News & Issues > Politics in the UK Predicting whether Labour will win the next election: 19 of 25
The short answer is that Labour can most definitely win the next election.
