Elect The Dead

Just seen this: Serj Tankian's got a website calling for massive electoral reform in the US. I gotta say, I agree with him - take the electoral college out, strip the cruft out, get rid of the smoke & mirrors that keep US citizens from getting the president they want. What gives me the right to comment? Yeah, sure, I'm a Brit. That means I'm affected by who runs the US, yet get zero say in it. I might get called up, or in years to come, my son might get called up, to serve in the UK military to fight in a war you guys' president starts. I might lose everything I own because of mis-run economics in the US, yet I get no say. What was it you guys used to say? "No taxation without representation"? Well, I don't pay taxes directly, but I pay a lot of money to US corporations, who in turn pay taxes to the US treasury. So yeah. Time democracy came to the US. I don't particularly want to vote in US politics, but it'd ease my mind somewhat to know that what the American People decide is what the American People get done & you don't get hornswoggled into another GW Bush & 8 more years of war against a concept without actually wanting it. You have a reputation for fairness as a people, I know & like a bunch of you & I trust that if you had a proper say, you'd run things pretty well.
