While I respect a person's decision to avoid politics on a fashion forum, Rachylou did post this in the Off Topic area which has been designated for topics that aren't fashion related.
As this is an international community, I 've always found it interesting to hear what members in other areas feel about issues that affect them directly. As long as everyone is respectful, I'm sure we can learn a great deal from each other even if our perspectives are different.
As a Canadian, I'm going to be equally fascinated by what happens in the US this fall.
