USA

We often decry the acrimony surrounding US elections but that is the price for having a representative republic where people are free to choose their candidates without interference from the government. China is ruled by a communist government and yesterday they voted to allow the president to serve for life. The government representatives voted 2,960 for and 2 against. This is not a free vote and I wonder what will be the fate of the two who voted no. It is like the old soviet union where they had a one party system and that parties candidate always won. Joe Stalin was in power for over 30 years and was replaced only when he died. During his time in office he killed an estimated 20 million of his own citizens. The United States has many problems but it's great to an American.
