Brits and other foreigners i'd like your opinions too please.
Yes smart arses i know i spelt Obama wrong.
But to make up for it i spelt Retardican wrong as well.
Well , I don't vote FOR any politician or party,I vote against the bigger shower* on offer. In the US that seems to be the Republicans by a narrow margin.
Here,our Prime Minister is the leader of the party in power. His party may remove him from office at any time simply by electing a new leader.That is exactly what happened a year ago when Tin Tin (Kevin Rudd) was thrown out and Lady Macbeth ( Julia Gillard) installed as leader and PM--and a right pig's breakfast she's made of the job too.

If I was voting for a president, I'd want a person not too smart, cunning ruthless and capable of controlling congress and the senate. In short,a capable arsehole; Lyndon Johnson comes to mind,or even Nixon. So obviously, I'd be voting AGAINST Obama and anyone else who was all sizzle and no steak. In my opinion he's the most ineffective president since Carter.(but a charming man)
We do not have lame ducks, we just have incompetent careerists such as Lady Macbeth (the opposition is fucking WORSE!)
If a government cannot govern,there is a double dissolution and an election.Here the government may call an election at any time during its term in office. Is that not possible under the US System? (here there is no limit one the number of terms a PM may serve.)
*archaic British slang,meaning "a shower of shit"
