Election Debates

Your cartoon illustrates something very interesting I heard from what I think was an American reporter on the ground in the UK discussing the relative quiet yesterday. If I remember correctly, yesterday, the day before the election, no campaigning is allowed. That's shocking enough, but the real kicker is personified by the expressions of exhaustion on the faces of your politicians. The story revealed that the election campaign was *six weeks long* and that "...most people here will tell you that is interminably long".

Oh, yeah. Riiiiiiight. Just this week we had that announcements from at least four new candidates for President for an election that won't be held until some eighteen months hence, November 2016. Six weeks is a YouTube video by comparison.
