Sorry....cut off in my prime!
In the UK we have a leader of the opposition who is very much like Mr Sanders, given time he will change the face of British politics, but at the moment he has no chance of government. His purpose is to educate and explain socialism to an electorate which has no understanding of any system but financial aspiration.
We could have elected a "professional" politician who would have brushed up shiny and clean with nice white teeth and a load of pie in the sky to sell....and we would be in power at the next election, but our nice shiny professionals don't want change, they want more of what made them powerful and rich.....like their god Mr Blair, of whom of course Mrs Clinton is the American equivalent.
