In the US, the election of the head of state caused unexpected effects. Just in 7 US states collected so many signatures for secession that Barack Obama elected in this month for a new Presidential term, will no longer be able to to react. “Obama’s victory is the first step in a millennium of darkness.” His appeal with these words was published in September in Internet famous actor Chuck Norris. “Our great country and freedom is at stake. We almost reached the point of no return, and a country which we know may be lost forever if we do not change course, “said the actor. His action movies, and the movie hero himself Norris, has long been turned into an object of condescending ridicule for its straightforwardness. Undefeated Texas Ranger In Life turned out to be true to his character. But it seems that not all compatriots reacted to this with the usual irony. In his home state, residents raised the question of separating Texas from the United States.
In order for the President to consider the petition, under it collect 25 thousand signatures on the Internet. To date, the Texans have gathered in 4 times more! Connoisseurs of American history were not surprised. “Texas was an independent republic after its separation from Mexico and before joining the USA. He is the only member of the federation who was truly independent and the spirit of freedom from washington politicians always live there, “says political scientist Roger Hanver (USA). The idea of Texans swept across the United States like a snowball. For today Already in 30 states they are collecting signatures on petitions to withdraw from the United States. AND if they collect 25 thousand, Obama will have to answer each. It is unlikely that today anyone seriously believes that the US is nuclear power, one of the pillars of the current world order – it’s that simple fall to pieces. In addition, US citizens remember well that in In the 19th century, a similar situation ended in a civil war. But almost half of the Americans roused old grievances. These people always vote against democrats, consider Obama almost socialist and generally do not favor the central government. “Americans are not love their federal power, they don’t like Washington, a lot Americans are suspicious of Washington, the president – “why is it needed, we have our power in the States, we have governors, whom we directly choose, “- said the political analyst Nikolai Zlobin. To this was added the discontent of many Republican voters on how elections were held. “For instance, in Florida and in greater Philadelphia, in “democratic” areas, with polling stations just threw all Republican observers. The judge had to issue a separate order to let them in. And this, we note, were official Republican Party observers, “says a spokesman. National Center for Civil Policy Justin Dunhof (USA). TO this election has a lot of complaints from international observers. Himself the fact of the indirect election of the president, but through the electoral college, long recognized by experts, including American, a relic of the past. Some states prohibit people who have criminal record, and citizens living abroad. That is, voting rights deprived of 10 million people. Some states, the same Texas forbid international observers to even approach polling stations. There are claims to the fact that the main two parties – republicans and democrats – with all their enmity protect the political Olympus from other political forces. “Yes, break through the bipartisan system to third candidates or third parties are extremely difficult because the whole political the process is monopolized by two parties, “says the deputy Director of the Institute of the USA and Canada Valery Garbuzov. Situation around Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein – vibrant an example of this. She was arrested twice during the presidential campaigns, including for trying to participate in the election debate. 12 years ago, two main parties passed the amendment, prohibiting the participation in debates of candidates who did not receive official polls, 15% support. For Europe, this is nonsense. For The USA is in the order of things. Most experts generally say that The principles for electing the US president are so outdated that they can be considered democratic with a stretch of mind. And everything speaks of that Barack Obama will have to think about a new term serious reforms in this area. But here again a big question: will the Republicans support him in this?
