Nah. TBH, on my side of the pond and despite massive UK media coverage of
the US elections, I suspect there is little interest (amongst the masses)
in the final outcome.
It's difficult enough to get a decent turnout for the UK version, so foreign
issues accrue even fewer interested observers.
But, politicians is politicians. Nowadays pretty much the same flavour the
world over. All seem to have a background of being the kid that was bullied
at school. All seem to look for admiration. All enjoy the power trip.
The 'real' politicians of old, those who had a selfless vision for the
future and a fire in their belly, have done their good work and are now
long dead.
Maybe modern societies have no further need for those kind of men. A sort
of 'satisfied apathy' seems now the name of the game.
