Point taken about the LibDems, but in view of the fact that they never tell us what their policies are, it's not too surprising that we don't quite knnow where they fit in the political spectrum.

The others are right of centre, so socialists don't have realistic representation. Moderately right wing Tories are also deprived of represemtation. I sometimes feel that I am seeing double with Blair and Cameron trying to repeal the laws of physics, and occupy the same space.

On the subject of whether Brits like Americans, I think, on the whole, they do. What they detest is the current US administration, which our own home grown A***hole, is so keen to copy.

I feel that if GW continues to head toward the cliff edge at warp factor six, Toady will play the obedient lemming, and take us right off the edge as well.

I have said elsewhere that I get on well with Americans, and as individuals they seem pretty much the same as us, apart from a noticeable tendency to mangle the Queen's English (Grins broadly).
