In America, a candidate for an election spends millions on commercials & will go on tour to give entertaining speeches
In Britain, we have 5 minute political broadcasts on a main TV channel. Everyone swears & quickly switches channel to avoid it
American citizens spend an evening at a political rally, wear logo hats, t-shits & hold placards as they scream on their favourite
Brit’s never scream or cheer on a politician. If they are forced to listen to a speech, they usually boo, hiss or shout ‘liar, rubbish’ etc
In America, people look up to & respect their chosen candidate
In Britain most people look down on & have little respect for politicians
Americans vote for the candidate that they really like the most.
Brit’s vote for the candidate they hate the least, because all are usually hated
But, here’s the twist:
Most Brit’s are very knowledgeable about local, national and international politics
Most Americans don’t seem to be
Am I right? What are the other differences?
