In a true Hollywood style drama, US presidential hopefuls Al Gore and George Bush play the leading roles in an action-packed thriller which awaits the final twist.

The sunshine state of Florida will eventually hand the keys of the White House to the ultimate star of the show.

Here in Britain, down at the old Gore and Bush, sorry, Bull and Bush, with a pint of bitter to hand, some of us Brits cannot help smiling.

Yet we wish the biggest democracy in the world our support and look forward the forthcoming movie blockbuster.
