Contrary to popular belief the Yanks actually do a lower milage than we do. And although they have bigger engines they run a lot slower.
Yes they still consume more petrol, but their, and our, cars use a lot less fuel, and generate a lot less pollution, than they used to.
Not because of high taxes.
But because of vehicle regulations.
So what's stopped the Tony Party and their Euro friends (or Clinton and his environMental sidekick Gore for that matter) from decreeing that all cars produced after say 2005 should use fuel cells (they should be in production well before then)?
Couldn't be anything to do with loss of revenue?
No - must have been lack of parliamentary time.
After all they had vital legislation to introduce, like laws to enable a particular Tony supporter to stand for parliament, or to prevent a particular Tory supporter from making political donations, or to "decriminalise" the buggery of schoolboys, and criminalise the hunting of foxes.
So that's why tone needs a second term.
He needs to intoduce fuel cell cars, and ban foxes from hunting chickens.
Oh, and he somehow managed to forget about the NHS and education last time round.
His work here is not yet done : - (
