I appreciate that the US election is an important one, possibly history changing(possibly) but why is there so much coverage of it on British television? An additional question to US residents; is there any coverage of the run up to a UK general election or is it deemed not newsworthy?
I'm sure UK politics does get a mention, but our system is no where near as drawn out (usually elections are a 2-3 month thing) meaning there is less time for coverage.
Can't for the life of me remember who took over after that milk toast Tony Blair though. :redface:
It doesn't matter babe. He's a complete twat. :tongue2:

Yes you make a very good point. Im voting for 30 years and i take pride in voting and look forward to election day. How ever i am not looking forward to this election. I fear a tragedy of which would take my country 20 years to recover from. I pray and hope that i am wrong. I must also say with the massive voter fraud thats be going on i dont even see us knowing who won for a while. And by the way this election has been stolen even before most of us have a chance to vote. Please keep in mind i am speaking as a member and not a moderator. I stay way from politics. Forgive me for painting such a dark picture. This was just something i had to get off my chest.The US is 6 times bigger than the UK and exponentially more influential on a global scale. Add to that what many feel is a truly historic moment and the coverage is understandable and even to this antimerichun a very watchable drama. I am praying it doesn't turn out a tragedy.

Coverage in the popular US media of the political processes of other nations is quite shallow, even for the UK's elections. Regrettably, I can only conclude that media consumers here view foreign politics as irrelevant. Those Americans interested in learning more about how other nations conduct their politics are on their own to learn whatever they can.
