Today

Everyone who is able to vote should.Democracy is one of the banners that our troops and your troops are waving in their operations around the world.Many many people have died because they believe in that principle and not voting due to apathy is something I cannot stand.I've followed this race closely and am in the Obama camp. He isn't a direct fit with my political beliefs - I don't think any mainstream American politician could be but I detest the other side for all sorts of reasons lolIt's exciting - shame I can't vote. We are of course increasingly subject to American influence - and have been for most of the 20th century. I look forward to the day when we have a global democracy to match our global economy and we can all take part in the process.
