I believe all those national, corporate banks (aka the people who bait you with credit cards) center themselves in Delaware because of lenient taxes. So I'm all in favor of dropping Delaware into the ocean ... possibly by taking shovels and pick axes to the Delaware border and trying to saw it off the continent ...

Over here Liberal = Right, Labour = Left. Or lefter...................................not really left, though. Just a bit more left than the right. If that makes any sense.

What you're saying is everything thing in Britain is on the left scale, with far lefts and lefts. I don't get that.
Don't tell me your noble class is gone. I know that there are still Barons and Counts running around England. There is still a conservative population. Don't think we Americans are that gullible.

No, I was saying that in the UK, right is liberal, left is conservative. Daryus was the one saying that everything is on the left, and he's not actually British. Living in Australia tends to exclude you from living in the UK.
And how much percentage of the vote do you think "barons and counts" make up anyway? You can walk for literally whole yards without bumping into a Count Visenburger in some parts of the UK.

"Belgium does not exist".
Well, that certainly pleases a Dutchman (ME!!!). Belgium has always been part of the Netherlands, until the 'Belgian' people revolted for independece. So, the fact that Belgium exists in the first place is just because of *only* a revolution...
