Has the shock vote for the UK to leave the EU had any impact on voting in the US? I guess what I am getting at here, is that I have seen many people so disillusioned with the two main political parties and/or the two main candidates that a number of you have stated that you will vote for a smaller party instead. For what it is worth, if I was in the US I would have favoured a candidate that was not Hillary or Trump either, but, I would not waste my vote on one of the smaller parties because I would be voting against what I see as the greater evil so to speak.
If a substantial number of disillusioned people in the US do vote for other parties, this means that Trump has a very real shot at becoming president, and I think there will be global shock just like the recent outcome of the referendum in the UK. On the flip side of that the more uncertain there is in the economy (as has been created in the UK and Europe) the more likely people are to vote conservatively. I have included a poll so you can remain anonymous, but feel free to add comments, and please no attacking the views of each other.
