phasmid posted:I dunno. British politics seem more vicious between politicians and that's a good thing. Personally, I admire that you guys kick the poo poo out of your politicians more than we do here in the states. Alas, the silly wigs are being phased out. I agree we can be more brutal, which leads to some entertaining culture clashes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5u1skEoqLs&t=402s

From memory, the winner for the Nobel Peace Prize was decided by a bunch of Norwegian career politicians because it's a joke award. They were likely going to lose the next election, so realised this was the only opportunity to meet Obama who at that point was a worldwide phenomenon. They voted Obama for that reason. The award itself has been meaningless since Kissinger won it while conducting a bombing campaign.
