Default You could take all I know about UK politics....

... and barely begin to fill a thimble.

How does the gubmint work? I know it's a form of democracy, but what kind of gubmint is it? How many parties?

By the way... this topic (thread) will go into another category very soon.

Default What an auspicious start...

..not all Brits are this clueless...honestly....

Paul, how about you hang out here a little while longer before you decide to crap on the carpet....

If, in your estimation, the British system is broken, what/how would you change it?

BTW..this really belongs in another forum....I have a sneaking hunch that one of the Mods is getting ready to pull that trigger....

Default Bush

Why do so many Brits hate him? I mean, I doubt many of them hear him speak regularly. Where does this information come from? I suspect it is feuled by the liberal media.

...media" extends across the pond???

As a matter of fact, bush's words are heard on an almost daily basis, and it comes from the media which is spread out across the political spectrum...

One of the main reasons they hate him is his arrogance, his lack of intellectual curiosity, and his lies about SH and 9/11-WoMD-War in Iraq...and the fact that the poodle that lives at 10 Downing Street is too busy polishing bush's cowboy boots rather than looking out for the best interests of his citizens...

He is more hated than the Conservative party in Great Britain, which takes some doing...!!!

LOL - You may want to add that the Brits aren't to fond of Blair at the moment for the very same reason as Bush

But UK politics is actually quite fascinating (IMO) - if you want some insight chek out BBC World news - I find it to be one of the more reliable sources out there (especially for US politics) as they cover just about everything, from all over the world.

Now, Now! This is a thread on UK Politics. Let's save the "Bushisms" for the other threads!

Question. Is it true that the Britain has no formal Constitution. If so, how are final legal decisions resolved?

Try... DOORKNOB

I've seen so many people post on this board and ridicule our president all the while committing a faux pas themselves.

As the good book says:
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
