So guys...

I sure didn't see any free goodies like that around here! That sounds awesome!

It wasn't advertised it was mostly passed via word of mouth but that happens a lot around her to encourage young Peeps to vote.

That is all we shall have. No more burritos, no tacos, no quesadillas, no guacamole, no zapatas, none of that. Just donuts and burgers.

You poor, poor people. What's sad is that technically Clinton got more votes than him, but you're stuck with Trump because of the Electoral College system. I'm really worried for the state of the world right now, because not only has Trump managed to become President, but with Britain leaving the EU too, Korea being Korea and Russia being Russia, the uncertainty we face now is insane.

That's the only thing about this election that annoys me. I honestly don't care that Trump won, I care that he won even though Hillary technically got more votes. The electoral college is a stupid system. Again, I don't care who won, I would have still been complaining about this if the situation was reversed and Trump had more votes but Hillary won by the electoral college.

Although, the bright side is that if Trump won, the system probably isn't rigged... Unless that's what they want us to think.

Yeah the way it all works is pretty weird... it's similar here except that we have really small areas, called "seats" (based on population) instead of whole states. So each little area has approx the same number of people and gets 1 vote for a seat in parliament. Whichever party has the most seats in parliament at the end wins, and their leader becomes prime minister. At least this way it's not just too bad for you if you live in a state that gets to give out heaps of votes, where maybe only 51% of people disagree with you. :/

I said that to a couple of my friends who were really mad Clinton didn't win. They didn't find it very funny.

Korea being Korea

You have to narrow that down a little bit, buddy. There's two Koreas and they absolutely hate each other. Trust me, I have been both during my years of Model UN. One is a lot more fun to be than the other. You are correct to worry though, as Trump winning has caused many to worry about the upcoming elections in France and Austria. If the people who are projected to win do win, then from what I've gathered, it sounds like the EU is finished.

I've seen "forbidden" pictures of North Korea and what's been going on around there.

It's not a pretty picture. Sometimes it looks like some sad and dystopian alien world...

Yeah. North Korea is a lot of fun to play in Model UN (I've gotten awards every time I've gotten the role) but the truth about the place is very sad.

Believe me, any similar system is ridiculous. My personal opinion is that they should somehow combine the two; if someone gets the most votes AND the most seats, that's great, otherwise the one with the most votes should automatically win. That way there isn't much change, but the system is still fair. I have similar opinions regarding the UK electoral system, which is very similar to your Electoral College system.

Trump could very easily throw some of his cash around on rigging the vote. I don't necessarily think it was rigged, but he could just claim the money was for 'campaign charges' or something if he had rigged the vote using money, couldn't he?

North Korea. North Korea is by far the worst of the two Koreas, given all of the chaos going on there. Kim Jong-un has already warned Trump that they're not getting rid of nuclear weapons.

If Nigel Farage (some of you might not know him because he's one of the British MPs, but he is effectively the reason for our referendum to leave the EU) gets into Trump's cabinet as he's attempting to, then the EU is done for, because he'll restrict trade with the EU in a last ditch attempt to kill it for whatever reason he has. If France and Austria leave too, it's as dead as some of its precursors, and when one of those died (the League of Nations), war followed. As grim as it sounds, I am genuinely concerned that there will be another big war at some point in the future, be it a civil war in America or a global one.

The Model UN sounds really interesting. I've always seen stuff about it on American TV shows (namely The Simpsons), but it's not a thing in UK schools. What exactly do you do in it?
