Gold Ramandu Posted February 21 Author Gold Share Posted February 21 Big game this weekend, as the Germans go to the polls* on Sunday. Looks like it'll be a win for the CDU, and AFD on for second place. * It's a tap in. Link to comment

Strange how we get wall to wall coverage of the Yank elections for about 12 months, but the biggest most powerful country in Europe's election barely gets a mention. Link to comment

Absolutely. See also the french elections. Our media's obsession with the US is really annoying, and we'd be much better served if it was paid a little less attention. 1 Link to comment

Roberto Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Love how people use buzz words from their modern studies teachers to make themselves feel like they know about politics. The arguments are absolutely terrible but hey you used a buzz word you heard once. Go you. Link to comment

Nah, it's full of many wonderful people, enriching the world with their art* and science. I just don't think we should obsess over them. *They've still not managed to produce a great novelist though.

Obviously I'm being a little facetious, but only a little. Stephen King's of a similar ilk to John Grisham, hardly a great. Harper Lee wrote one book (unfinished draft? Pah). Twain's a light hearted comedy writer. Hemingway...is decent enough. But Americans treat him with a reverence which goes beyond what he deserves. Link to comment

Gold Ramandu Posted February 24 Author Gold Share Posted February 24 GERMAN ELECTION NEWS: The centre right won (but got their second lowest vote share ever). The centre left are out (with their lowest vote share ever). The big story here is the beginning of the end of the two party dominance in Germany, and the emergence of multiple smaller parties. Similar in the UK is my prediction. "Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold" Link to comment

Gold Ramandu Posted May 2 Author Gold Share Posted May 2 Tories getting a kicking in the local elections in England this morning, and labour not doing well either. Love him or hate him, Farage is the most consequential politician in the UK since Blair. Onwards and downwards to the Oz election tomorrow. Hope the crocodiles guy wins the whole thing.
