A shift in Political alliances across the pond?

Not inspired by the tribalism of Anglo US politics I have not really bothered with the US democratic process since hearing that Jesse The Body Ventura was the winner of the Minnesota Gubernatorial race back in 1998!Democracy in the many real ways does not exist in America. One voter, one vote is the principal of democratic elections - save for the Electoral College system in the USA. This is a flawed system;  just ask President Gore!Will EU and UN representatives be allowed to monitor the elections of Florida and other suspect States, as they have throughout states in Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia?

Will the equivalent of the Returning Officer for each state actually be allowed to call the vote bases on the votes cast or will somebody’s second cousin in a TV studio buck the trend and give it to the Republican?

Given that the Clintons have had a long relationship with New Labour, and that GW Bush did not even know that Blair was a Socialist pretty much all Thatcher-Regan bonds have been severed between Westminster and The Beltway.

Who is there left that can offer the American people, never mind a disinterested Brit an alternative?  

As usual with him, Iain Dale nails an early trend here!

And just in case Iain gets close enough for a picture and an interview with the Candidate allow me to remind people of the photo below taken last Spring.

It is of a world class politician of the highest caliber…. oh and the future President of the United States of America?
