Our current government elected themselves via less than 26% of the vote and only then via a coalition with another party so we had two prime ministers not one.<br /><br />Perhaps the USA can have Mitt AND Obama lol. Brits have given up on the vote,they feel none are worth voting for. In theory ANYONE can run Britain that's the reality but it could be the migrants or Al-queda if they get enough support !mervynjames224https://www.blogger.com/profile/06689615164654187617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783378058242952793.post-67046894729405932912012-10-23T07:46:40.634-07:002012-10-23T07:46:40.634-07:00P.S.

You have the Royals on the side representing wealth and all that, so the people just have it left to vote for what they want out of government!

Obama's at least got experience as a social worker and teacher, living in urban environments and working with people who struggled. I think this is Romney's first time applying for a job ;)JRShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485752215710916988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783378058242952793.post-21472129814685231142012-10-23T07:40:22.819-07:002012-10-23T07:40:22.819-07:00I'e always found American politics a bit of a ...I'e always found American politics a bit of a circus really. I doubt many Brits take an interest in these 'debates' which all look pretty staged and far too polite frankly. The general view is Republicans like guns and gung ho, the democrats trying to play to the common man with platitudes and very twee homilies all the time, that Brits would feel cringe worthy.. It's a worry there is no democracy in America, unless you have billions of dollars 'Anyone can be president' is a myth.mervynjames224https://www.blogger.com/profile/06689615164654187617noreply@blogger.com
