Folk like Musterion seem to think we'll have imposed sharia law in a few years...
It's almost hilarious.
The only theocrats with any kind of power in my country happen to be the Christian variety.

I never said how soon. Only eventually, because the very people you have who will stand up to call thing as they are and fight against what's coming invariably are treated as enemies of the state (which, in fact, they are).
I am fully aware that your government is not (at least not yet) a communist form of socialism but, even British economists call the UK democratic socialism... I mean really do you intend to assert that the Labour party is not a socialist party?. I have no rub with your government system if you are happy with it but, I do however take just as much offense to you Brits throwing stones at our form of governing (capitalism) and have no qualms telling you to mind your own affairs when you feel the need to take jabs at it. Nobody is saying one is better than the other, both have their pro's & con's but, please... attempting to point the finger at us asserting that your government is so much better than ours for this reason, or that, is just rubbish. If you don't believe the UK is a form of socialism than maybe you will believe a British economist writing about it in the BBC.

No, they don't. Socialism requires the means of production to be publicly owned, whereas the British governments have for a long time been selling off state owned enterprises to private buyers. There is hardly anything left to sell now.
Labour is not a socialist party, but a left-of-centre party. There are socialist elements within the party, but they have not yet turned the party into a socialist one.
Didn't you read this article? It is about socialism in the UK - it doesn't say that government is socialist anywhere. Socialism is a minority interest and hasn't had any power for decades.
From Wikipedia: Democratic socialism is defined as having a socialist economy in which the means of production are socially and collectively owned or controlled alongside a politically democratic system of government.
The means of production, manufacturing, transport, telecoms, oil fields, mines and farms are all privately owned. Hardly socialist, but definitely and thoroughly capitalist.
A passing grade from those institutions isn't really as hard as you'd think. Especially if you have the money for tutors. Getting in, if you're connected, is even less difficult. Not to say Trump hasn't accomplished a great deal. He has...but if you want a clearer picture of how, try this: http://www.alternet.org/story/15623..._government's_protection_mostly_did_the_trick
Palin...Palin won a popularity contest in a state with a population on par with Galveston, Texas and then quit half way through it to chase a bigger ring.

I think our government sucks RM, so it's hardly a case of pointing the finger and saying the UK's is so much better than yours because it isn't. It's quite true in so much as the labour party is socialist to an extend but not anywhere near how it used to be and there's precious little difference between any of the main parties nowadays. We're a 'democracy' in name only frankly...

307,000 - population of Galveston, Texas.
:think:
I don't know where you went to school, but I would bet a graduate from The Center for Geographic Analysis Harvard University would have come up with a better comparison to Alaska's population :chuckle:

It doesn't matter whether you think it would happen next week, next month or in 2123, you're just flat out delusional.
Exactly so ... and Sarah loves the attention.
I wonder if they will wheel out Clint Eastwood this time.....he could do an interview with an empty chair....no wait a minute, he did that last time.
