Wasn't all the brits on ATS whining about their election a couple days ago and now they're whining about ours. Fix your own problems first.

I watch Jon Stewart he is hilarious. But I think it is ridiculous when people rely on a comedian for their information about the world.

This thread started in the first place because an American poster (I assume) drew attention to an extract from an American TV programme.
The interest in American politics and the criticisms of American politics are both largely American in origin.

That was really funny but also a really good comparison.
I hope the Americans on this site see this and understand why we Brits get a bit annoyed that in May we are having American election threads just now.
Trust me, as an American, I ALSO get annoyed that in May of an off election year we are already getting election threads for the next year's election as well. I mostly get annoyed because every election cycle, the cycle starts earlier and earlier, and when it starts ALL real work by the politicians comes to a screeching halt. Instead we get blatant pandering bills that have no intention of going anywhere that are just used to suck up to constituents and get votes. And as a result, nothing gets done for a year and a half...
