I'm on another forum (part of the reason I don't get any work done) and the AMOUNT of people who think we vote for the leaders i.e. like presidents. They are all annoyed that gordon brown got in without being voted as the leader by the public!?

Sneaks, as a Politics student I encounter stuff like this daily. While it's nice to have a subject which a lot of people are open to discussing it does get slightly wearisome having to discuss things when people just fail to understand A) basic facts of political knowledge (like the electoral system) B) how to look at things from different angles (like the concept of democracy.) I've had such joyous conversations, ones like "If you've ever been robbed you should vote Tory" and "Nazis are socialists - see their actual name is National Socialists".
Then there's just David Cameron's policies - "Only graduates with a 2:2 or above should be allowed on PGCEs" (the vast majority of PGCE students already have a 2:2 or above and academic achievement is not the main requirement for being a good teacher) "We should take away benefits from people who refuse to work" (already government policy), "Public Sector chiefs won't be paid more than 20x the salary of the lowest paid person in a department" (affects 223 jobs at most...out of 7.1 million (0.00%.) This one really angered me because he said he was putting forward a radical agenda. If he wanted to make it radical he could have applied it to the private sector.)
I personally think that only Politics graduates should be allowed to vote.....and PhD voters should count double.
