I do follow some US politics, but it is depressing. The impression I get is that the Republicans have sold their souls to Trump for power, but some may not be happy about what he does. He is not a traditional politician by any means, but then he doesn't seem to understand diplomacy and thinks he can do anything. That's dangerous.

UK politics has its own issues and a lot of people are disillusioned. That can lead to them voting for extremists who promise to be different, but I would not trust them. I do think that most people get into politics with good intentions, but the system can change them. It's not perfect, but the fact that votes can change who is in power gives some home. Our system used to be about two parties, but it's more diverse now. I'm not sure where it's going.

I didn't know that Bonzos song, but it sums things up. I've probably mentioned that I know one of the band who lives near me.
