British Politics
-
From people who know him closely, I understand that Gordon Brown is a brilliant man who cares greatly about the British people's welfare.
-
One thing is clear: He has schemed and plotted for almost 10 years to get the job of Prime Minister. And now he refuses to call an election becuase the polls say he would lose it.
-
To an American this all seems rather strange. In this country the voters choose the person who will be their top politician. (Please ignore the fact that Al Gore got substantially more votes than the dummo who currently holds the job.)
-
In the USA the vote may be rigged, but in Britain the voters don't get to vote for their leader at all. They merely vote for the party of their choice.
-
Like skinning cats, there are many different ways to implement a fair system of government. One that to at least a limited degree listens to the wishes of the country's people. Many of these political systems are even called democracies by the local inhabitants.
