Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
Maybe it has to do with having a basically 2-party system. That tends to polarize. Those not in power tend to feel disenfranchised and resentful.
Minority governments on the other hand, tend to build consensus.
Just my 2 satoshis.
Well, Britain's effectively two parties and the current coalition is the first in a long time. You don't get people frothing at the mouth at each other.
Having said that, the most rabidly right wing Brit would probably be regarded as a commie pinko begging to be relieved of their life by their American counterpart.
Rational balanced opinions are viewed with suspicion. Polarisation seems to be the theme for politicians and citizens these days. Its just that the extremes make the most noise.
But despite the crap they have to live under from their 'government', America seems to have a higher proportion of basically decent people than most other countries. I've experienced random acts of kindness in remote West Virginian owns, and rough New York suburbs that would never have happened in many other counties on the world.
The difference between UK and US politics is that UK people dont believe the crap their politicians tell them.
(but who else you gonna vote for? Farrage? Ugh.)
