Yes. By definition, my presence causes this thread to be a non-political thread.

if we are talkign about political sctructure then i'm forced to say that our political system resembles the US one

2 strong dominant political parties that interchange a fully autonomous government wiht 0 cooperation and cohabitation.


if we are talking political ideology identity then maybe it's somewhere between france and italy

[ZoboZeWarrior]

France of course. I'm interested by this political mouvment!

Beware ! not for kids !

Patronizing the whorehouses of dozens of nations hardly gives you insight into their political situation.

Well, depending on who you happen to meet there...

Pop quiz, mofos: which of you voted for your home country?

[The Viceroy]

I was temped to vote for the UK .. as I don't believe an elected president (who has no powers) is of any use .. and I think there is merit in having heads of state who are not elected (life time presidency) as the Queen, in that she has the experience of situations since 1950's .. good political advisor to the PM ..

however, in the end .. I opted for Australia .. for good reason, I think STV (Single Transfereable vote) is the best system for voting a stable government ..

I absolutly hate these so called democratic states where no party ever gains control, and Banana party holds sway.

Seriously I don't like the actual French politics. Having Monsieur Chirac as President of the Republic is mainly the cause.

I fear French policy toward Europa will become more isolationist to satisfy old french people scared by changement.

I fear that French policy toward "poor" country will be less genereous (no more proposition to cancel the debt of the poor countries).

Chirac is the avatar of the "bad" politic :
- Totaly dishonest (Lot of cases are linked to him).
- No honor.
- Ready to kill his mother to increase his personnal wealth and power.

Well, Cuba IS a dictatorship. No doubt about that... But there´s potential for a real socialist state in Cuba if they remove Castro from power and the US lifts it´s blockade.

If this would happen and if that would happen seems to be the favorite excuse that communists give when confronted with the true nature of the system. While you talk about ifs, the communists leaders live thier luxerious lives and laugh at the idealists that they depend upon. I'll be impressed with communism if a communist dictator actually delivers on the supposed ideals of the system. Until then I'll stay with what we have in the US however imperfect and sometimes down right unfair the system may be.

Australia seems ok but I sometimes wonder how they stomach paying tribute to the UK and the queen. Yeah I know it's symbolic, but have some freaking pride and become a republic. What does the UK do for you really except send the queen or some other royal to visit every once in a while.



edit: I would mention Canada, but they seem to like bowing to the queen and being apart of someone elses commonwelth. Except for the practical thinkers in the honorable provinces such as Alberta

Whatever, Cuba blockus is clear sign of US imperialism over continents of america.

Cuba didn't represent a danger for USA now. So what is the justification of this blocus ?

the communists leaders live thier luxerious lives

Take a guess at the factor that separated the USSR's highest ranking politicians' income levels from the average for the last two decades of that benighted nation's history, Sprayber...

The 3 million Cuban expats and families that live in Florida are enough of an excuse for any politician who has to win votes there...

Cuba represents an annoying little insect that buzzes your head when you are trying to eat your meal. The justification is that we don't like Castro.

I'm not gonna defend it because I don't think it works. Castro sure isn't hurt by it because he sure isn't suffering with his people like a good revolutionary is supposed to.

Hey why doesn't France trade with them. France doesn't seem to have a problem with profiting from dictatorships.

[ZoboZeWarrior]

As do USA ...

Business is business. Dictators love weapon and we are not bad for selling weapons.

You prefere of course Dictatorships you helped to get power, of course. More clean (hmmm) ... We take the others.
