Sorry for getting a bit pompous there!
Things aren’t exactly fine here.
I’m not sure if I will even vote next UK election. I usually do, as the right to vote is a key element of a democracy. But actually it only makes a difference in a constituency where it will be a close decision. And now the 2 major parties aren’t a lot different.
The rush of hope when Labour was elected in 1997 was sadly misplaced, with their policies ending up more right-wing. And most of us don’t trust in Tony Blair following his lap-tog behaviour with Bush, and going to war despite the vast majority of us not wanting it. Then the main opposition party are disorganised and unpromising...
Good luck in the US, whichever you go for (or Ralph Nader!)
