Quote:I don't see far-right people getting elected as much in the near future.
I admire your optimism.
If you mean ignorant and corrupt fascists such as Sarah Palin, you may be right. However,there is currently no effective political left in the US, (Obama; centre right) UK (Right,with a facade of centre right) or Australia (centre right)
Elections have nothing to do with reason for most people.
Most people vote habitually. .In my country elections are decided by between 3-7% of swinging voters,who vote according to their perceived best interest. The decision is made via the pork barreling of each political party.
I remember being appalled and bemused watching the last US presidential elections, where ONE BILLION DOLLARS was spent. I though Obama was (and is) charming,charismatic, brilliant and gifted orator--and I would not have voted for him in a fit. I saw him as more style than substance and still do..
