The world complains about unfair elections policy in the US
European Press Review: Europe's Favorite | Press Reviews & Opinion | Deutsche Welle |
A consensus is forming that citizens of other nations should be able to cast their votes in the US election. The reason given is that the result of the election will affect the world, therefore fairness requires that the world should vote.
The net effect, of course, would be to cede our sovereignty to China and India, given that these two countries contain over 2 billion people. I wonder if the UK, Denmark and France would be happy with this result?
Also I wonder if the citizens of these countries would be willing to reciprocally enfranchise us in their elections? I, for one, would not vote for Chirac.
