Aye McGrath,

"As I read it, abortion splits people in all parties , and many famiies"

It does, but on this side of the pond the GOP is generally pro-life and the dems are usually the murder/borts.

"The same goes about most things, taxes, public services, foreign policy. The parties act like they're polarised in opposite extremes"

Well, it may look that way there, but when one looks at the nature of bills introduced here and the direction of the votes by party, clear and distinct differences between them become obvious.

I will concede however that the RINOs are indeed our enemy. I would rather share conversation with a conservative democrat than a liberal in my own party, maybe I'd make a new friend (or a convert) it's happened before.

The voting records of the various legislators paints the democrats generally as anti-business, and the Republicans as typically pro-business.

With Republicans in the minority it's not hard to understand why we have a massive exodus of business from this state.

Taxation WITH representation is no improvement.

Respectfully,
