  7. Alost the entirety of political news in the US right now consists of absolute nonsense that won't matter for many months. You really don't need to pay attention to the 2016 election until 3 months before the election itself. The UK's election season is only about a month long, and they get along just fine. The news is already full of stuff that doesn't matter, and the US "political season" is just another excuse for them to continue making news that isn't important. Stop.

    This story comes my own head.

  16. Joe Biden hasn't yet said whether he'll run for president -- but his campaign against Hillary Clinton has already quietly begun.

  18. After one of the longest political elections in Canadian history, Canada's election yesterday was very surprising ending result. Most people thought it was going to be a tight three way race. Before the polls were even closed on the Pacific Coast, it was declared that the Liberal Party had won. This surprised many Canadians.

  19. Hillary Clinton said Friday she supports President Barack Obama's decision to keep 5,500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan when he leaves the White House in 2017. The president had originally planned to keep only a small U.S. military presence by the end of his presidency.

  23. Vice President, Joe Biden, announced on Wednesday that he would not run for president. Biden said that he and his family had overcome their grief at the death of his oldest son enough to commit themselves to the rigors of a campaign. But with only a few days until the first filing deadlines, he had decided that it was simply too late.
    “Unfortunately, I believe we’re out of time, the time necessary to mount a winning campaign for the nomination,” Biden said. “But while I will not be a candidate, I will not be silent.”
