Before DS or some other Brit shoots you down in flames for saying

Now, as for the political leanings of the general population of Britain, I think that's self-evident ... it leans left (some would say far left) of center. Do not sit here and honestly attempt to argue to the contrary.

Where is your evidence to support this particular and wildly generalised allegation ?

Or is that just another of your personal opinions that you want to present as a fact ?

Your deductive skills are quite weak, as is...never mind.

Ah yes, Great Britain is a bastion of conservative thought.

That's why the ruling party is Labor.

Come on - still waiting for a substantiation and evidence .

Australia has a concervative government in power federally , but every single state government is a labor government - so - is Australia a labor or a concervative bastion, perhaps the same situation applies in the UK.
Plus the UK doesn't have compulsory voting.

So you'll have to do better than that sunshine. (Rather than your usual stuff.)

:rotfl:

My worst is far better than your "usual stuff" sunshine.

And I'm still waiting for you to prove that Mr. Bush went into Iraq to take the oil.

You have made a wild and unsubstantiated claim that was politically motivated claim and have yet to prove it.

So - and I know this is asking a lot of you , and it is not what you are used to doing - so sonny, stop trying to avoid the issue, or trying to divert attention, cut the BS , it doesn't work.
Just do some homework and either prove your claim or admit you were wrong.

Oh, please do grow up.

I never claimed anything and your repeated assertions I did comes off as quite moronic, and not to mention you are coming off very childish as if the potential truth of my observation is so damning that instead of attempting to refute me with facts to prove my supposition wrong, you must attack me personally instead. In short, what you are doing epitomizes an ad hominem argument.

All I did was hypothesize two things;
1. the Bush=Hitler charge made by many leftists is made out of profound ignorance and,
2. europeans are not nearly as knowleagable over Americans, particularly concerning their own history, as is oftened suggested

These are my tentative explanations for the facts laid out in the poll, and I suggested I'd like to see a similar poll of Americans, which would help in testing my hypothesis.

^^^That test would probably throw your hypothesis out the window.

No question that the US is leaning right at the moment. But I bet you would find an equal percentage of Americans that are ignorant of history.

The test I proposed just might throw out my hypothesis, that's why I'd love to see a similar poll of Americans.

Yes it's manditory, which in my opinion is antithetical to real democracy.

Every eligible voter (enrolled) is expected to cast his or her vote at the ballot on a polling day, or have good excuse for not doing so.

If you don't then a small token fine is imposed by the Australian Electoral Commission. No other action is taken - serial non-voters don't get criminal records or tossed in goal.

The result is that we have a culture of voter participation here that is the envy of the everyone else - better than 98% of eligible voters cast their votes at all polls.

Agreed. From what somerled said, I don't like the sound of it. Maybe if None of the Above is an option. Otherwise, this just forces people to pick a person when they really don't want either and to vote on an issue that they are unconcerned about (which potentially takes away fro what the majority who cares) and who probably have not read the law in detail.
