More to the point what are you going to do about your dodgy human rights record?

How come you can't discuss your own countries issues without putting down other people's countries??

My thoughts exactly! It hardly makes a good defense to show other countries' feeble points

Two years in-depth study of the American political system / voters has left me better and twisted towards it.

Yes, which is all well and good, but try to stay on topic here. We are talking about the British political system.

And where in the reply was I not talking about the British political system? I made a valid contrast between our voting public, and yours.

I thought this post was on Britain and Blair, not on the American voting system

But your system is also quite based on where you live, etc. That's what constituencies are. You vote for your local candidate, which may belong to a party you'd never vote for, but you vote for him because he's doing well in your area... That's how the British system works. It's not centralised either

Afterall, what is politics if not comparison?

What will Britain do about Blair? ;)
