Election Day

[Bambino]

Being a US citizen, I cannot vote here today, but I urge anyone who does have that privilege to exercise it.

Oh I wasn't suggesting that Trump would be better than Clinton, far from it!  It scares me to think that he could soon be one of the most powerful men in the world.

Bambino, do you literally have two choices on the ballot paper?  I want to use my vote but I don't like any of the main parties so vote for an independent or obscure local party.  Do you have that option in the US or would it be a vote for Clinton or Trump or don't bother voting?

[Bambino]

No, there are always candidates running on independent platforms.

Thanks Bambino, I've often wondered.

We don't seem to have Monster Raving Loonies here unfortunately - they couldn't do a worse job than our current MP!  I think he was last seen during the 2014 flooding when Cameron visited.

Many years ago my cousin shared a house with members of the Monster Looney Party.  She met Screaming Lord Sutch and was asked out by Dangerous Dave, their candidate at that election!

Well, as funny as they are in Wales, unfortunately we don't have monster raving loonies anymore here, the last candidate moved to America to start a property business using a small loan off his father...

I think everything would be better than Trump. I once read his twitter, thought it's a joke.. But I'm afraid there are enough people voting for him - and having impact on the world, not just the US of A.

What do you people think about the new mayor of London, Sadiq Khan?
