		<description><![CDATA[Patrick Wintour of the Guardian wrote about the voices of politicians and the impact they have on voters: “&#8230;Research has shown the sound of a voice is worth more votes to politicians than the content of their speeches.&#8221; Ed Miliband is sounding much better after his nose operation.  It must be a relief not to [...]]]></description>
