Diplomats don't need votes.
They are mostly selected from the Civilian Service in this country unlike the US of A.

Er, not quite. In the UK, diplomats are part of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. In the US, diplomats are part of the Department of State and are appointed rather than elected.

Err, not quite. I did not say anything about elected diplomats from the USA either. The FCO is part of the Civil Service. In the USA, the President can sometimes select the person even if he/she does not belong to the State Department. Favouritism?

GTI winning another 'Best Of' award.
Yawn fest.
We all know how good it is, dont need no gay arsed magazine to tell us.

Ever thought of becoming a diplomat?

Would you vote for me ?

Depends if there are other candidates  :grin:

To be honest it's always going to be a toss up between the Clio 200 and GTI. As discussed before each have their merits.


A clio? Please don't compare any French cr@p to a GTI.... (no offence FroGTI if your reading). :smiley:
