I hope...
I hope people in Britain realise that, with respect to this election, no matter how bad things are here, they can’t begin to compare with how desperate and dismaying is the political situation in my own native land – and not just at the presidential level. Some of your MPs may be a bit dim or small-minded or otherwise alarming, but you would have to search pretty hard to find any that are truly senile, serially felonious, flat-out mad or so stupid that they would boast about shooting their pet dog. So I will be comparatively happy with any outcome.
