- DanBC 14y agoI flag this article because it's anecdote about a politician. His party is irrelevant to my decision to flag. There's probably not much meaningful discussion that will happen from this article. Maybe something that could happen is "Why do politicians have to act dumb?" - there are examples of well educated 'posh' English MPs faking a less posh accent; there are examples of US polls asking who you'd like to have a beer with. Democracy really sucks in England, and from what I can tell it sucks even more in the US. Obviously it's better than any alternative, but the versions we have are broken in ways that are hard to fix and which give us really bad, weird, outcomes.
