Vote for the World
It's no surprise to me that many Guardian readers in the UK signed up to write letters urging people in the US to vote. They didn't say vote Bush or Kerry, just vote and know what the rest of the world is hoping you think about.
Some people were indignant about these interfering Brits, some welcomed the attention. I think many Americans don't appreciate the impact that the US presidency has on every other country in the world. After 4 years living in the US under Bush, I have been pulling for Kerry but at 12.50am CST it looks improbable.
One thing it has brought to my attention is how out of touch I have become with British Politics since leaving in 2000. If you can excuse the fact that this is a part of the BBC for schools, here is a quick summary of the electoral process in the UK.
