US elections 2016

After tomorrow, we will know whether Hillary Clinton of the centre-left Democratic Party or Donald Trump of the centre-right Republican Party will be elected as the 45th President of the US. 

Trump's temperament, inexperience, belief in wild conspiracy theories, immoral behaviour and attitude towards women is too much of a threat not only for the US but the world. For a party which has given the world Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan, and proponents and defenders of internationalism, military interventionism to prevent genocide and war-crimes, free-trade and socially conservative family values, Trump is highly unsuitable. 

For the first time ever, therefore, I will be supporting and endorsing a Democrat in the White House, and hope that the Republican Party will be able to reform their great party after Trump's defeat. A strong and effectual Republican Party is important for American democracy and the world at large. It is imperative that Americans elect Hillary Clinton as their president!
