They can raise our taxes, change our laws, shape our daily lives and even get us into wars: it's no wonder that polticians - and the way they get elected - are a subject of many movies, from drama to mysteries to comedy.
This weekend on English Attack!, we take a look at politics in the movies as portrayed in two very different film clips, and give you a chance to sharpen your political vocabulary. Learn words and terms like campaign, ballot, primary, running mate (which does not mean an exercise partner!) and stump speech, and soon you will be able to follow the complex analysis of US or UK elections on channels like CNN and the BBC just as well as someone who can vote in them!
