ORIGINAL: Aneirin But the USA, it's almost hollywoodesque political process, all that razamatazz, maybe it is you are just caught up in the celebration of it all and there draw your sides, as if the whole spectacle was nothing more than a fairground amusement that mattered for the moment. I don't think there is anything in the US that compares to the clips I've seen of British parliament going at it. Then there are the royals. Plllllllllleeeeeeezzzzzz........... I think that whatever is 'normal' to us, just seems well...normal! And what is different than our 'normal' seems freakish and wild. Seriously, if I saw a guy in a wig and robe, I would think it was a British play going on. But it is more 'normal' to a Brit. As for the OP, I agree with the idea that the extreme partisan crap that is going on in the US is the main reason the government cannot get a damned thing done. I would like to think that, at some point, calmer, more mature and rational heads will prevail......but I am not holding my breath. Even the mighty Rome fell. If things continue as they are now, the US will fall also.
