Very good video. I think it would have been nice to have a few views of the British system from American personalities, but I doubt it hurts to not have that. What I do think hurt somewhat was the attempt to place American politics into a British sense when it's simply not that comparable. Not only is the political system very different, as this video of course points out, but the societies are themselves more different, politically, than I think most people realize.
It's not superficial when our politicians are "PC" in front of the media and during speeches and such. They're official, formal, and respectable - caring about what their voters and supporters will think. It’s very unlike the UK. Their politicians are feral and sometimes very disrespectful. Maybe they are more honest but the way they go about it is like chickens with thier heads cut off.
The UK wins hands down, there not corrupted by having OBAMA.

Although, I very much like their campaign finance regulations... and none of those annoying TV ads! YES PLEASE!
