That's not true. I didn't downvote him and couldn't see a reason why.

That's a strange logic. Personally, I cannot stand septics but given that I am not one and I do not live or even travel there, what you chaps do is generally speaking none of my business (I really don't understand why Europeans get so worked up about US politics; yes, they have a certain clout in the global arena, but not all of US politics has a global impact). OTOH, local / EU politics *do* have a direct and immediate impact on me so I'm amongst the first to criticise when I feel something is wrong. Which is very often.
