Comment
Dear Peter
There are many aspects of your blog I could comment on, but I would like to concentrate on one area, which is how policy gets made. It seems to me that one of the major problems of the political process is that too many decisions are based on peoples' prejudices and ideals, not on the facts. There was an interesting article in the Economist over the CHristmas period pointing out that we are the product of evolutionary prssures, and that policies that ignore basic human nature are doomed to fail.
Any more comment would be a blog of its own.
Regards
Nicky Bearsted
