I'm John Batcha with my colleague and friend Simon Constable writing for

Barrens and Wall Street Journal and other distinguished publications.

Right now I'm calling on him as an Englishman who has experienced voting

in general elections called GE in the UK.

29 days till July 4th vote. Maybe it's irony that they're voting for a change of

government on the day that the US celebrates its liberty from the King. In any

event these are days filled with ceremony, the King and the Prince of Wales,

and leaders from across the NATO are gathering in Normandy in the next days to celebrate the 80th anniversary

since D-Day. At the same time in the UK there is not a battle there's a debate and the

debate underway between two gentlemen, Kirstarmer, the leader of the

opposition, the significant opposition, labor.

That's spelled with the U, the English way. And the Tories Tories the conservatives led by Rishi Sunak

the Prime Minister there's been a debate and looking at the Tory Telegraph the

soon acted very well the polls tell us a story, however, that it was a tie or near to a tie.

Chris Starmer is a man who was chosen to lead labor away from the valley of ruin that created by Jeremy Corbin's anti-Semitism.

Kist Armour is a barrister, an attorney in the U.S. terms. he presents himself as solid.

At the same time, he's extremely cautious and in the debate.

Simon, what I heard from the day after is that Kirstarmer has to make one theme again and again and again.

Change, change, change, change, change.

Rishizunak, however, has to defend 14 years of misrule by the Torres.

What is your measure of the first debate?

There'll be several more.
