So I don't know much about politics in England. I know next to nothing about politics in America (so please forgive any bad name-spelling), which makes my History lessons hard (American Civil Rights 1800-1900 or some such). Just recently I wish that wasn't true.

Less than exciting, my year group at Sixth Form were recently visited by our local MP - a falsely jovial Conservative who barely managed to conceal his disregard for us called Ed. I couldn't hear half of what he was saying, partly because I was sitting at the back nd partly because I kept yawning (from being tired, not being bored), but what I had heard, I wish I'd been able to criticise better. I think I could have done if I understood politics more.

Much, MUCH more excitingly (especially if your name is Livi) is the fact that Barrack Obama was elected President. Every one of my friends is over the moon (partly because we had silly conspiracy theories about Palin killing McCain and taking over the world going around), but as soon as they start talking about anything in detail, I get lost =[

Mainly this is just me acknowledging my weakness on an important topic, but it's also a veiled attempt to get anyone to talk to me about Obama - I want to know if anyone's actually against him, or just people's opinions. I know that at least two people I talk to are voting Americans, too... Anyway. The doo-dah (picture thingy) for my mood is very cool, don't you think?
