point being people are so invested in something that could affect them just as much as something they don't give a shit about. Because AMERICAAAAA
But the American elections will affect those in the U.K. for sure, never mind 'might'.

I'd hardly call people "invested" in it just because there's a thread on it, it's got less than 50% of the posts in the Barm/Muffin debate.

No but this thread is a reflection of the general populace and spills out across the board, whenever something happens over there we jump on it.

I'll remove the politics from my original question.... Why are we obsessed with America?

They're a global superpower, we fall under their sphere of influence, their media/culture pervades ours, their politics and their foreign policy is extremely controversial?

Now you're getting it :)
 
You do know we are talking the most powerful man in the world not X Factor?

Whoever gets elected will just be a puppet to the people who really hold the power, he strikes me as a total knob but his personality strikes me as being one where he will generally say what he thinks which could lead to some amusing moments.

With Clinton I am genuinely worried about the future, I find her to be a power crazed, vile individual who if she told me the sun would come up at 7:00am I would have to set my alarm to check before i believed her. If she gets in, which i fully expect her to do then i think we will come as close to WW3 than ever during her reign.

I didnt like the Russian version of Friends and the Chinese version of the Wire was awful, I just crave the U.S. of A. way of doing things, their language is soooooooooo English, its almost the same as ours.

But surely she'll just be a puppet to whoever holds the power?
