Question: does anyone seriously believe that either of the two political parties are going to make significant changes?
I do not.
It is easy for us in the States to differentiate between the two because our political resolution is so high, and we differentiate where we can. But from a geographical and historical perspective, the parties are pretty much the same, and when an exchange takes place it is merely like for like. For something to happen, it is going to take either a shift on the geopolitical/economic stage (ex: we might get more jobs, but its not going to be because of Republican or Democrats), or it is going to take a radical party on either side.
