I have been following the election stuff over there a bit. I have an interest in all things political, and I love your country.
I heard a snippet of the debates last week...one of the candidates really railing about why England shouldn't join the EU. And some of the immigration stuff...which is really becoming an issue in many western European countries as well -- Germany and the Netherlands come to mind. Don't know if you follow Dutch politics, but that Geert Wilders dude just scares me. He sounds very Hitler-esque at times, in my opinion.
Going to delve in to this election a bit more, though. To me, it is way more interesting than American politics at times.
