I am beginning to understand what is happening in America these days. Their politics is so polarised between the right wingnuts of the Republican Party and the left wingnuts of the Democrats. There is absolutely no middle ground. You either go far right or far left wing.
In Britain, we also have right wing Conservatives and left wing Labour. BUT we have other parties which are not so polarised such as the Liberals, who are nearer to the centre on the right wing side and the SNP, in Scotland, who are centre left. There are Ulster Unionists, who are very right wing and SDP who are more centre left. All have seats in the UK Parliament.Therefore voting alliances tend to reign in some of the wackier proposals put forward by the Left and Right Wing nuts.
America does have other political Parties but none have seats in Government, as far as I know. This has been the big problem. When there is a change each Party sends huge amounts of money undoing the Laws put in place by the others.Both the Demopublicans and the Republicrats are right of centre Parties but still have opposing agendas.There are no controlling influences that other Parties put into the mix, as in the Uk.
The Democrats, now, have decided that all right wing is wrong and is not working. Most other countries have a mixed political system. So Obama and his crew have taken up the view that rather than continue the same old, same old, they must ruin the country completely in order to rise again with a mixed system. They see no other way of doing things.Unfortunately they are correct in that view.
They realise that ruining the country would not go down very well with sheeple steeped in the status quo and riots could result,hence the draconian laws recently passed. They will not give up a system, that the know and understand, for a new one.They have been plotting and planning for this mega change for many years and consider that the time is now right to enact their changes. They are trying to attain the centre ground as opposed to the right wing continuance which is no longer working in a modern world.
Trying times are ahead and the stone has been pushed from the brow of the hill. Will it roll on to a new America or will it be smashed half way down. We await the developments, but the progress will be horrendous.
