This is fun and interesting!!
I have loved politics for a long time and truthfully I cannot understand the shutdown! It could not happen in Canada or in the UK and Australia for that matter with a parliamentary system! Budgets are announced from the reigning govt, called Speech From The Throne (still attached to the monarchy).
It appears to me as a foreign observer that this is a partisan roadblock! The country is polarised in half!
What do you think will be the outcome ? The next stage is whether or not the US defaults on loan payments..which could lead to serious global consequences!
