well I'm pretty much going to ruin the funnyness and shit going on itt but wtf else is new:

I doubt any of you all frequent drudgereport.com but the UK election's been featured rather prominently over the past several months, enough so that I know shit about David Cameron, the phrase "We Can't Go On Like This", Gordon Brown being a douchebag (actually already knew about this guy for quite a bit, having studied economic history and his role in keeping the UK out of the EURO, FWIW), and now some dude named Nick Clegg, who is an apparent overnight sensation.

BTW drudge is one of the most frequented news sites in the US, with about a billion unique visits in the last month... And Matt Drudge was cited as the U.S's 2nd most influential conservative over the past year by some mag who's name I can't recall atm...

tl;dr: yeah I'd say there's a pretty significant following of the UK general election within the US - just maybe not so much in the 18-30 age group most FTRers fall under. As far as foreign general elections go, it is probably the one "cared about" most by the US, or so I'd imagine
