...Under a new proportional electoral system, a slim victory with less than 1.5 percentage points between the two main parties can deprive the winner of an outright majority in parliament. On Wednesday, a host of independent pollsters conducting secret tracking polls said the Prime Minister's threat of political uncertainty in addition to his crisis management after the fires had boosted his approval ratings - a claim denied by socialists, who said that both parties were locked in a "dead even" race...
...clear yet what exactly McLaren did wrong. (The WMSC is set to publish its findings Friday.) But it emerged in July that Mike Coughlan, McLaren's now suspended chief designer, had obtained almost 800 pages of secret documents on Ferrari's racecar. The documents, Ferrari says, came from Nigel Stepney, its since sacked performance director, who denies the charge. At a hearing later that month, the WMSC found McLaren guilty of fraudulent conduct.

There's the noble costume drama, beautifully appointed but with all the zazz of a visit to the Victoria and Albert Museum; the political documentary, confirming its audience's liberal prejudices about the failings of everyone who doesn't agree with them; and the minimalist European drama, where misfits glower silently at each other over their coffee cups, then (if we're lucky) explode into violence at the end. Put them all together, they spell Art Film, which comprises a tiny percentage...
