This is CBS. I'm The World. I'm John Batchel. I welcome Joseph Sternberg, member of the editorial

board of the Wall Street Journal. He writes political economics column. He's based in London.

party. They voted for her, not by the people of Britain, but by the vote of the Tories who were in control of parliament at the time.
