In a globalised world, the domestic politics of one country can affect many others. And nowhere is this more true than the United States - the only remaining superpower. With this in mind, a group of Dutch Internet users has set up theworldvotes.org, ahead of the November 2004 US presidential election. The website allows people from all over the world to cast a symbolic vote for the candidate of their choice. The creators of the website insist the non-profit initiative is neither anti-America nor anti-US President George W Bush. Instead, it recognises that US foreign policies affect countries and their citizens all around the world.
