US ally holds election
It’s an oft-used and lazy stereotype that Americans don’t have much of a clue about the rest of the world or global politics.
However cable news giant CNN is taking no chances with its viewers – referring simply to some elections happening today as ‘US ally’s crucial election’. After all, it’s only the vote to decide the leader of the world’s fifth largest economy, the UK.
