I think you'll find that in Australia, a large number of average Australians resent US political influence, and the fact that our last Federal Government was only to happy to kiss the arse of George W Bush is still a rather large sore spot for a lot of us.
Both foreign and domestic US policy is talked about quite a lot in the media here, and in quite some depth in some publications. We kind of have to know what's going on because our economy will quite often shadow your economy. The heart of all this is that US policy affects us, a lot. So, every time a US election springs up, all we really get to do is sit back with white knuckles hoping that the next guy to get into power doesn't fuck things up any worse.
And also, I'd like to know why Americans have this morbid fear of socialised services? We have quite a number of important services here sill owned and run by federal and state governments, it's never been a big deal, and usually any attempted to privatise those services with met with fierce resistance.
