This video would be great to show students in both U.S. Government and in your Comparative Government courses.

U.S. Elections--How do they work (a Brit explains)
This video (4:25) produced by the British Parliament explains our (American) system elections, democracy, and representation in the United States.
It also does a great job of explaining differences between the American model of government (president as head of state and government) and the British model (monarch as head of state, Prime Minister as head of the government) and differences in elections (U.S. House based on population, the House of Commons based on 'first past the post'). The explanation of the American electoral college procedures is particularly clear and informative.

It is an entirely free AP book complete with pictures and loads as quickly as others out there. It is put out by Flat Knowledge. If nothing else I would tell your students about it for an additional resource. </div>)

Great and informative video! I love the comparison.
Great information! I will definitely listen to it again. I recently found some good software https://convert2.online/en/youtube-downloader - now I can download audio from YouTube podcasts without any problems. It is very practical, because I love listening to educational videos at work.
