And so, the latest transatlantic debate is announced. Earlier today the one and only Mr Tim Clark of Life, Explained, and a fellow blogger on The Whacko, declared war upon not just our political process, but ultimately our very way of life* from the land of America, upon the home of all that is true, good, and mighty, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
And so, in two weeks, we will be extolling the virtues of our political processes, and the way that our democracy is operated, in the UK by a Prime Minister, the House of Commons, and the House of Lords, and in the US by.... well, I've no idea, but from watching NCIS I think there's a chap that goes by the nickname of "POTUS" and a lot of hard faced people in dark suits with sunglasses listening to ear-pieces (the kind that I've seen used to protect sandwiches)
So, stay tuned to my blog, and Tim's blog, and The Whacko, not to mention my YouTube channel (but don't watch Tim's videos because it'll have some sort of dog giving instructions on it) as we work up to the big day.
In the mean time, your comments and letters of support are welcomed, if you have a view that you think helps my argument as to why the UK's system is the best, drop me a comment or tweet me or do something, it'll make you feel all warm inside, kind of like how my liqueur coffee is making me feel right now.
(And if you think you might need a liqueur coffee, check out the decision tree.)
If you're a blogger, maybe you could do a blog giving your point of view on Saturday the 19th of September 2015 too - we could link up and all that kind of awesomeness.
For Democracy!
*Tim didn't actually declare war on either our political process or our way of life. But let's not let the truth get in the way of a good statement.
Democracy .. That's three wolves and a sheep sitting in a room voting on what is for lunch right?
ReplyDeleteDang, that makes it sound pretty good. I may have to go back and rewrite my original post.
ReplyDeleteOh, and our dog is a highly trained mix of laziness, and passive aggressive panhandling. Kind of perfect for American Politics if you think about it, and I do.
