US08 'won’t get our vote'

Thousands of British voters were left in shock this morning after being told they COULD NOT TAKE PART in the forthcoming US Presidential Elections.

“All I’ve seen on my bloody TV this last year is Obama this, McCain that, and something about Michael Palin shooting a seal. And now I go down to my local polling office and guess what? It’s not even open,” spat out one would-be voter. “Typical,” he added.

Full election coverage of US08 began in early 2007 and the vast majority of BBC journalists have now crossed the Atlantic to follow the candidates’ progress from comfortable hotels in large cities. And a WHOLE HOST of BBC programmes have been recorded in and beamed from the States, including Newsnight and Little Britain, whipping up a frenzy of apathy amongst the British public.

“First we’re told that interest from the electorate has plunged to an all time low,” one unnamed source told Happy Claptrap. “Yet now we have Joe Public lifting himself – or herself – off the sofa to have his – or her – say only to be told he – or she – can’t vote in the first place. I don’t know what BBC bosses are thinking of, but now really is time for change.”

The US President is the most powerful man in the world, yet also one of the least popular.
