  1.  @davidhowse884  Twelve replies (only six visible). There is a certain comedy aspect listening to Americans: talk about America being a beacon of democracy; trying to describe two right-wing parties as "left" and "right" or even criticize other countries and their version. It's about a billion to run for President; Wall Street backs both main parties and when Trump won the Presidency (Clinton the "popular vote") the story was America had previously tried finding candidates people liked, but that didn't work. There isn't going to be competition in a fixed election (oxymoron), Putin odds on fav anyway; so looks (to me) like the Prof is just fishing for clicks. While here in the UK: two main UK parties (the far-right Tories and "New" Labour aka Tory light); one always governs, both represent money interests while a lot of MPs and Lords have: better paid second jobs; or a promised seat on the board; or capitalize on inside info (sometimes all three), a lot seem to bank in Panama, to avoid the "taxman". So it's rather difficult for Westminster to criticize others (but they do); often the taxpayer; while they like to blame the poor (who don't have proper representation, or "the money"); now started on the working class, who run essential services (most now privatized and subsidized). Since the Labour party (founded by the unions) no longer exists; the only recourse for workers is to strike (which the Tories want to ban); then... get this... they try to lecture others on matters economic (the UK £3 Trillion in debt). Currently: America and the UK only give the appearance of democracies; China isn't, it's a single communist party, so run by committee; Ukraine isn't (no elections); the E.U. isn't (President by appointment); Russia is, with one candidate (odds on); while in Scotland (democracy, through proportional representation) it's designed so no single party should hold a majority, but the right-wing UK parties are so unlikable it was SNP 56; Tories 1 Scottish Labour 1; Libdems (center party) 1 so that didn't work out either. However there is a certain comedy aspect with the pro-war Democrats trying to claim they are left-wing (socialists); anti-socialist more like; too much money in politics! Put our leaders on minimum wage and watch them scatter... don't know what or who they really represent, but it is not the majority of us (somewhat ironic, eh?).

  3. You don't get competition in fixed elections; or when the vote is war or war and I've yet to see evidence that politics in any worse in Russia than America (just bitchin' from reprobates). Just watch what the corporate media do in the run up to the American election: smears; fear-mongering; divisive rhetoric (they've got it all); if you are looking for an enemy of democracy maybe try them? While media outlets giving direct political contributions, then claiming they are unbiased... well you can believe that if you want. There's too much money in Western politics! While if you don't have a vote and don't live there; it seems far more prudent to mind one's own business. Western media finger pointing, unaccountable; they even lie to get wars?! Bad news.
