Come on, let's arrange a parallel US election. The whole world gets to take part except for US citizens. We'll all have a vote and, although it won't change anything, it would be interesting to see what the result would be. Then send it to the Whitehouse and the US News Media and see what they don't say. We could do a country by country vote and then add the total at the end. I suppose a salted peanut would beat George W Bulsh in many countries, but I wonder what such huge voting blocs as India and China would do? Someone, anyone, please give me the money and I'll set this thing up. It'd be simple enough:- Before the US Election, we send a ballot box in every post office in the world and e-mail a voting form template for printing out. Then give everybody a few weeks to vote and they can send the boxes back or count the ballots there and email me the results. Who cares about a bit of multiple-voting - it doesn't count, the scale of the vote is too enormous for it to significantly alter the result and who, unless they've actually got something riding on this, would take the trouble to try and corrupt the vote?
