Hi Guys,
Well it's the UK General Election next year and I was wondering how much coverage it gets in the USA. During last years USA elections there was massive coverage over here; this is probably because whatever your govt does has so much effect on the rest of the world.
Currently the main parties are having their annual conferences, but this year these conferences are like a mini manifesto, where they're tempting the voters with their false promises. Personally, if a govt does not fulfill their promises by a certain agreed time period, the I think there should be a vote of no confidence and a new GE called.
Although I love my country, I currently feel so ashamed on what it has become. Last Monday the BBC broadcast a film about the Nazis' bombing of Coventry in Nov 1941. There was excellent footage of the city pre and post bombing but what amazed me and those who I've spoken to, is how quick the people of the city got the munitions and other engineering factories up and running after the blizt. And also how few people took the offer of being shipped out to other parts of the country.
The courage and pride of these people is unquestionable and I fear a similar situation today would bring far more dissapointing results.
So how many of you guys are interested in British politics and do people over the pond really care on how we vote or who we elect ? Be honest, I will not be offended. xx
