British citizens have zero right in trying to force/persuade/embarass someone into voting how you want. I would be ashamed of myself if I wrote to one of you during your parlimentary elections and told you that you had to vote for so and so.

Finally if you really think that Kerry gives a damn about Britain, you're really mistaken. Kerry cares about being in power, he cares about money. Hell he said that he made his money by marrying up, and I really dont think anyone can say he wasnt serious.

I've recieved a letter from a British citizen urging me to vote for Kerry, but I have to step back and ask myself:

1- Does the Brit know what the heck they're talking about when they write me saying that "Kerry believes in limited governanse (sic) and that's better for us all"?


2- While I value the opinions of our Canadian and British allies, what right do you have to tell me... a citizen of the US to vote how you want me to vote? Shouldnt you be off trying to vote or hold referendums in your own countries to elect leaders to pressure the US.

Oh lastly on the nukes, Britian has nuclear weapons as well. Over 100. While the US, France, Russia, China all have a lot more than that, 1 nuke is all you need to be a player. So Im really not sure your argument holds up, especially about the environment... since your neighbor, the French, still test.

Here, Here Frobozz, i agree.
Allies or not, only you lot have the right to influence the voting in your election. Unfortunatley every bloody country in the world will be guaranteed to be trying influence every other country as best they can, its the way its is, and it will never change.
Like Tharun said, Guardian readers count for about 5% of the countrys population, and well, over here we all know that their heads are so far up their own arses they havent a frigging clue whats realy going on in the REAL world, where the rest of us live.
Yes we have a strong concern, mainly for the future of the world, and that you dont elect some bloody Jelly Fish that fucks it up for eveyone, but you can deal with that if it happens, thats Democracy for you.
Personaly i dont think Kerry is strong enough to lead, but i think he will be led and do what makes him popular. This as we all know will be a total disastor for the whole wold not just America.........Hmmm.

See just anouther Brit trying to influence the way you vote!!
How ironic, Eh.
