What do you think the outcome will be
Labour to win with sizable majority.
quote:
Are there any differences between the two main parties?
Not really but the Labour party seems to more together in public and a large percentage of the population will not bring themselves to vote Tories under any circumstances.
quote:
How does the political process differ from that in the US? Does that make it better or worse?
Beats the shit out of me.
quote:
Will the result have any significant effect on US/world politics?
more of the same.
quote:
Do you think the Liberal Democrats will have much of an impact this time?
No - I think they will end up with about the same number of seats as last time.
quote:
Who are the Liberal Democrats?
The party who seem to think that a penny on income tax will solve all problems.Oh and it's the one where the leader is either drunk or drying out depending on the time of year.
