    it shows what he is "anti" i agree, but if someone who had the same attitude but had some kind of solution, some policy to sort the whole thing out (like re-election you dumb yanks) then they would go far. How can anyone win in an election though with bush's mates rigging things, and all the corruption.

    its totally shit imo, and to be honest, a shitty state of affairs.

    and of course it is presented in a biased way, and its all cleverly edited, but everything said in the whole thing is FACT. like si said if it wasnt it would have been allowed to be released. The information given in the film just furthers peoples view that the american government is corrupt, and if they don't have that view, and chew gum like britney spears and say they support the president, "whatever he is doing" then thats thier problem. when they are bombed by 'terrorists' or whoever they shouldnt complain.

    not in the US they wouldnt, the right wing media would cream them....Ralph Nader got about 1% of the vote :(

    An election campaign in the US costs about a billion dollars, and the only place to get that sort of money is big business, which means you have to be mega-corp friendly to have a chance. Talk about a fucked up biased system.

    Democracy my arse, thats about as far from democratic as you can get and still have elections :evil:

    dont get me started on free fair elections, after studying politics at uni, i have realised what a fucked up election system WE have, never mind the yanks!

    (its cool i can talk about this in my life, not just at uni)

    THIS - is the crack on democracies - YEAH RIGHT “The key element in the exercise of democracy is the holding of free and fair elections at regular intervals enabling the people's will to be expressed. These elections must be held on the basis of universal, equal and secret suffrage so that all voters can choose their representatives in conditions of equality, openness and transparency that stimulate political competition. To that end, civil and political rights are essential, and more particularly among them, the rights to vote and to be elected, the rights to freedom of expression and assembly, access to information and the right to organise political parties and carry out political activities. Party organisation, activities, finances, funding and ethics must be properly regulated in an impartial manner in order to ensure the integrity of the democratic processes.” Universal Declaration on Democracy” of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, Cairo, 1997

    and in 2001, it took labour only 26,005 votes to get a seat in parliament, while UKIP got around 400,000 votes and not a single seat - fair as fuck that like :confused:
