    In the UK only 2 people matter and of those two, yeah, grudgingly he's the best.

    Election reform is needed and isn't even close to a reality. So overall I find it hard to give a **** who is PM

    At least he has morals and will want to do what is actually best for the country even though I know I won’t agree with some of their policies

    It's a case of voting for who you think is the least ****e, rather than who you most like/trust.

    Yes but the Tories aren’t even in the same league trust wise as every other party. They are more on the George Galloway league

    I like Labour a lot more than the Tories.

    I don't think even think the Gordon Brown Labour government deserved to lose that election.

    I'd consider the last 14 years under the Tories to be middling to poor honestly. They really haven't accomplished anything.

    Yeah, but that still just leaves ****e as the remaining option. It's just not quite the kind of ****e you have the morning after a full weekend of beers, curry and kebabs.

    I can't stand the whole party politics farce in this country. They all spend more time mocking each other than they do designing / implementing solutions to help improve the country. They are all as bad as each other. When you see them on TV it's like a chimps tea party.

    And numerous MPs from both major parties are on the fiddle. Can't trust any of them.

    There are some aspects of the US one I prefer.

    I like that in the US, congress can block the idiotic decisions the president makes.

    Like, people neglect in the FPTP system we, Canada and Australia have, the prime minister is really powerful.

    This is made worse by the "Whip" which is an anti-democratic system.

    If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it.
