Well I find 'em interesting, anyway.


Despite the threat of being blown up, over 60% of Iraqis turned up to vote in the election yesterday: "Electoral officials estimated that up to eight million Iraqis voted - more than 60% of those registered."


Interestingly, this is a similar figure to the turnout at the UK 2001 General Election - 59%: "Turnout at the 2001 General Election was 59.4 percent, the lowest since the introduction of universal suffrage."


Of course the only threat to the British public was that fact that they might miss an hour of telly. 


So what should we read into this?  Hmm?

Ah.  I see.  I couldn't see past my own theory that the average english pigdog was apathetic and uninterested in 'politics' as they honestly believe that it doesn't affect them.

I saw a programme last night that stated that Robert Kilroy-silk is more recognisable than the Chancellor of the exchequer -


Only a handful of us manage to keep us in the G8 you know....
