Work. is there any change this harmony will happen but as you said, will it be every country for itself? >> i cant see any harmonization happening this year. its a difficult situation in terms of the uk where we have, for the moment, unfortunately, pretty much the highest infection rates in europe, even though we had the most advanced vaccination program. a country like spain just says, yep, youre absolutely essential. the uk for tourism here so you can all come in, regardless of tests and regar...

Orourke feel about that? >> well, that would be an improvement over what we have in texas where you can use your license to carry a firearm to prove who you are at the polling place but you cant use your student i.d. or utility bill to prove who you are at the polling place. its better than what we have and its not as far as i would like it to go. whats missing is automatic voter registration and same-day voter registration. there were 7 million texans who didnt vote many registered or with othe...
