3. Clive James, an Australian who used to do a "letterman"-style show

in the UK called "Saturday Night Clive", once told the following joke:

"American politics is very similar to British politics. There's the Republican Party, which is a lot like our Conservative party, and the Democratic Party, which is a lot like our Conservative party."
