As i do not have enough knowledge to fully understand US politics, the thought occured to me that some Americans may be facing the same problem.
You may do as i often do and log onto a thread only to wonder what the feck they are talking about. You then have to google.
Should any American member actually be interested or indeed any British person not have a clue what is going on in their own country, then this is the place to ask.
Please do not expect sensible answers to your questions from any British person and please do not mention the war as we are a tad touchy on that one.
We will start your education with a video of three key members. Please note in this video just how sexy Gordon Brown looks in that lovely dark suit.
One is the former prime minister Tony Blair, one is Gordon Brown the permanent Prime Minister of Great britain and i am throwing the question out to you to guess who the third one is.
Any British member who wishes to join this thread must promise to be silly at all times.
Here is your first link:

I have no Idea. Just a thought Mrs O? Could you possibly find time to let me know what you'd like for dinner?

The reality of our political leadership.

Says it all really. I play this in the background when reading oscar's posts.
Course americans might be shocked that we are allowed to be so rude about our so called leaders.

Send her out to the chippie you could probably do with a break. While she's out draw moustaches on her gordon brown posters. Women all like something to complain about and are happiest when doing so-so you may as well cheer her up.

I have always worked politics out by "pucker power" or using a more powerful expression "ass kissing". The route for political domination-----
1--You join a political party by being nice and friendly with someone already in your chosen party who will nominate you for membership. (kiss level 1):-4
2--After a suitable time you begin being nice to those who hold power at the local level by volunteering to do political chores and help run the local party machine. (kiss level 2):yh_worshp
3--Smooching your way onto various local committees and groups you meet the local politicians and those who pick potential candidates for election and begin your buttering up phase showing your party loyalty and commitment to victory above everything else. (kiss level 3):yh_sweat
4--Start concentrating on the selection committee members so they see you as their next choice for election for say a local seat such as town council or maybe county seat. (kiss level 4):yh_ttth
5--Now is the time for some real ass kissing at a national level. The party chairperson and the party bigwigs are game here, you want selection for an MPs seat but not just any seat you should be after a safe seat that you cannot get beaten at. you will need to practice public ass kissing now so you get into office (kiss level 5 and 6):yh_money
6--Now you are elected you should be kissing up Cabinet members so as to become noticed and raise above the back benches. A few friendly reporters will help here as well so start ass kissing outside the party as well.(kiss level 7):yh_hugs
7--In the cabinet. Finally you near the big prize. Really really kick into high gear, your lips should be a blur as you kiss up to anyone you meet in case they can help you get that job as Prime Minister. And don't forget those who have been kissing your ass as you rose up through the ranks, a few favours handed out here can mean final victory.(kiss level 8 and 9):yh_drool
8--There you are, lord of all you survey. The party faithful hang in your every word and actually believe what you say, business leaders ask to meet you, things are going good. But you know they can't last, so start your international puckering up, go for those big jobs abroad like special envoy or even being paid for speeches. The world is a big place but there is only so much room at the top, if you want the high level get lots of lip balm---you'll need it.......(kiss level 10 and up)
:yh_kiss:yh_kiss:yh_kiss:yh_kiss
Well that's my theory of politics anyway they are just a load of ass kissers all lining up to stay in power at any cost............:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

First of all Haggis breath..we are not patrons of the 'chippie' I don't know what these places are.
Mr O would not dare de-face my posters of his lustfullness. It'd be more than his gonads are worth.
If i need cheering up.... I watch this one:
YouTube - Tony Blair Vs David Cameron (funny dubbed!)
CONTAINS LANGUAGE LIKELY TO OFFEND.
