UK Perspective on US elections
Both from yesterday's Guardian:
The rescue parties
http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,838129,00.html
"Faced with a choice between two ugly parties, the electorate, quite
rationally, stayed at home. In the US, as in Britain, young voters have all but
abandoned party politics. Even in the presidential elections two years ago,
only 17% of 18-29 year olds turned out. "
This one is [a little] more fun [I'm sorry if anyone is offended!]:
It's like this, my old cock
http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,838211,00.html
"It is not easy to find anything in last week's American midterm election
results that might give the average Guardian reader something to cheer about,
but you might be heartened to know that the state of Oklahoma has just banned
cockfighting: a proposition on last Tuesday's ballot paper got a yes vote of
55%."
