    I try to follow a lot of other countries domestic politics, obviously not as closely as I do the UK's politics, but still the general overview. I think pretty much everyone follows American politics, but what about other countries?

    I'm American and I don't follow any politics in other countries. I do somewhat have interest in war torn areas because the media sort of throws it in our faces. I read up on the internet and I agree I should be more involved in the global political scene. There is a lot to learn and it doesn't hurt to be in touch with the rest of the world.

    I do watch the news regarding worldwide issues especially when it comes to politics and economy. I find it interesting and enriching to be updated with events happening in other parts of the world.

    My primary focus is just on US politics because I am a citizen of said. I follow Spanish and Argentina politics only a little bit because I have family in both. Beyond that, I keep an eye on the European political situation only as it impacts the markets.

    I keep an eye on what is going on in other countries around Europe, it's not something I spend a lot of time on though. Also a tiny glimpse into North America once in a while since that is where the majority of my investments are.

    I really only follow the politics of other countries' whenever it is on the national news in America. Other than that, I do not keep up with it.

    Not so much...am not a meddler in people's/countries affairs...although once in awhile, i'll catch up on what's happening with Russia, China, US and UK...i guess those are the top players...right?!...i stand to be corrected though.

    I am interested in certain countries, such as the US, Russia and Germany and anywhere known for having a strict regime. I couldn't tell you much about European politics on the whole though, it barely makes the news here as so little seems to happen.

    It's very kind of you to say so but I'm not certain that "congratulations" is the right word. Unless you are Scottish, of course!
