You are wrong Jack.....the form of govt in use all over Western Europe is referred to as "liberal democratic". Liberals, Conservative, Labour, Welsh and Scottish Nats, even SF in Northern Ireland come under that banner.

In practice, Mr Blair is a very good example of a modern liberal democrat......a hypocrite and master manipulator.

The new leader of the EU should certainly be a woman....and untainted by the criminal chicanery of the last decade.....
