Funny that Ducimus, that's exactly the way I felt about Margaret Thatcher...
Also, though the US elections get a lot of coverage over this side of the pond, I don't ever see any of the candidates talking about policies. In the UK, even when they're running for party leader or something, they say (however untruthfully), we'll put X millions into the health service, or we'll curb immigration or whatever. Maybe it's just bad reporting, but all I've heard Clinton/McCain/Obama say are things like 'it's time for change' or 'trust me, I know what I'm doing'. Stuff like that. Do they get on to the nitty gritty when the primaries are over and the presidential election begins in earnest or do they carry on with that stuff and when one of them gets to The White House suddenly everyone gets to find out what their policies are?:hmm:
