I am a Brit who is closely following the US election, why is that, OK noting that McCain was chosen because this year should be a Democrat year and the Democrats have picked the most left wing candidate they could, so McCain was a strategic pick.
In the USA you are able to chose the people who make decisions, sort of. In Francee I get the chance to chose people who are one of those who choses people (EU commisioners) to over see those that make the decisions, in the UK I get the chance to vote for an MP in what is now a micky mouse parliment who choses a leader who is PM who is one of those that choses the people (EU Commisionsers) to over… seriously, I am not kidding you. Of course some decisions are left with our elected leaders but not many.
So being that I no longer live in a democratic Europe, I follow the only one that really matters, the US one. I have not voted since 1997, it means nothing.
However if Obama wins, the only good that will come out of it is one heck of a rebound the next time, but if he is anything like the people who have destroyed democracy in Europe, you might not even get that chance, he has already started attacking that much envied first amendment, if only we had that in Europe…
