I'm also left thinking, "Surely our election can't be that interesting to people over there."

Your ickle lickle election has consequences for every person on the planet. The president of the United States and their prejudices/opinions creates the political environment that colours damn near every decision on the planet. From which wars we have, what price we pay for stuff, what happens to our environment, heck, even down to whether there will be ice in Greenland in 50 years time, it's all down to who sits in the Oval office.

Damn right we're interested. You and yours have screwed up mightily last two times. We're losing patience, McCain is not an option.
