Hello punters.
I’m from Australia, so you may be wondering why I’m talking about the US election, especially since I doubt people from the US followed our election last year. But there is a saying here that goes “If the US sneezes, Australia catches a cold.”
See, the result of the US election has the potential to affect Australia just as much as our own election did. Not necessarily on a local level, but on the larger scale. The result of this election could mean the withrawal of our troops from Iraq and/or Afghanistan, as we generally follow the lead of the US in matters such as those. The result could also have an influence on the extent to which we are affected by the Global Financial Crisis. It may change the relationship between us and the US, depending on personalities, goals, ideologies and policies of it’s new leadership.
Let’s hope we only catch a cold.. not a full dose of influenza.
Dan.
