I enjoy following elections in countries where I cannot vote. Sometimes I think I like it better than when I can vote. Perhaps because I don't have as much invested, or perhaps because I don't have to make a choice. Or perhaps because the Norwegian system is somehow more sinsible (or, more likely, the crazy stuff does not stand out for me because I grew up with it).
You should keep an eye on ours, when it comes. Last remaining blood sport, if you ask me.
Also, why would Clegg want a coalition with the Conservatives? He doesn't agree with a word they say!
You wouldn't believe what they'll do to get their sticky fingers on a modicum of power - see Fianna Fáil Green Party coalition in Ireland. No, your eyes do not deceive you.

British politics is ... like a basket of crazy muffins. But they taste nice.

It works alright when you have a two- or 2½-party system with support divided geographically.

Would it really be so bad if the BNP gained seats?
