Apparently the English have the same problem we do with a significant portion of the voting public unable to deal with truth and reality.

OBJECTION
He is not English he is a Scott, and is an MP in a constituency where shall we say the voters are a little bit (NOT ENGLISH) Care being taken because we can go to prison for free speech in this country. In Britain you can stand in the street as an ethnic and spout treason, if your English you cannot speak the truth or you get prosecuted.
This is a restriction you do not seem to have thrust upon you in America so have a heart when you judge us. And in fact it does not work in Britain as you seem to think. A party that polls a greater proportion of the vote does not win in the UK so please do not generalise about the Feelings of Brits. We are suffering the same as you in our leadership and its not popular here.
Obama was not popular with Brits prior to his election and in truth most people (contrary to what the press says) had not heard of him. Bush was popular as we saw him as an average Jo. We don’t care what you concluded from our leadership or the press. The powers that be in UK are considering ways to make the public vote and pay attention to Politics, so why do you imagine we would as a majority think about your. Less than half those entitled to vote in the UK do so. ITS CALLED APATHY.
