Why isn't this listed as a comedy?


Sometimes real life is a comedy, and Cain and Palin were nothing if not a Laurel and Hardy pairing.

Practically everything that came out of Palin's mouth was a joke, so why when real life provided so much scope is this being described as a drama and not a comedy?

I don't think the producers wanted to admit that the United States political system is a joke. The fact that it is unfortunately a comedy is implied.

^Just curious, sincerely, what system do you feel is better?

Well that was very interesting Young_Ming. I adore France and was happy to see it on the list but dismayed at it's "political stability", or lack of!

Is this your site Young_Ming? I would love to know more about these governments i.e. are they elected, monarchies, dictatorships, etc. And who conducted the actual research, where was it published, and what was the criteria. Do you know? I looked on the website but couldn't find sources.

If you have more information and research statistics, about world governments, I would love to study it.

Thank you in advance.
