Any political leader elected under the present capitalist system is going to stand for things which are directly ideological opposite to what I believe, the best I can ever hope for in any election is "the lesser of two evils" - it isnt about blaming my own failings or the problems in my life on someone such as a primeminister - at the end of the day the person in charge is really not as important as a system, any president of America or leader of any western European nation will stand for the same things, capitalism, hand in hand with the social capitalist state - and the logic of exploitation and competition, the repression of co-operation and community.

From my perspective, I prefer Kerry to Bush because I believe Kerry is more competent and less tainted... if Bush or Kerry is elected I will reject them though, because they stand for all the things which I do not. Terrorism is symptom of global capitalism - you can never truly quash violence with greater applications of violence - world revolution is the path to universal peace and understanding.
