| 0:00.0 | All right, Alexander, let's talk about the situation in the UK. Let's talk about what is going on |
| 0:08.5 | with the political parties, labor and conservative. How is reform doing? And what is the state |
| 0:17.4 | of the UK economy? Well, let's start with the political situation because it is actually quite interesting. |
| 0:24.1 | Now, we've had an opinion poll, an opinion poll which I think gets the mood correct and which I |
| 0:33.4 | think is quite accurate. |
| 0:35.4 | Others think otherwise, but I think it's an accurate poll and it reflects |
