The reason I no longer write about politics is I've stopped thinking of politicians as grown-ups. That Mr Cameron, for instance: I just can't take him seriously.
In the end, voting Lib Dem was a vote for the Tories. I think this was even clear at the time, so much so that I honestly don't know what possessed your fellow countrymen to do it. The British economy now trails Brazil and recovery is unlikely for the foreseeable future.
All my life, whether acknowledged or not, I suspected that Americans were somehow inferior to Europeans, less informed, certainly less sophisticated, maybe even less intelligent. What's happening right now, in Britain and on the Continent, has forever disabused me of any such sense of inferiority.
