General political discussion

Glaurung:
I found something interesting and politics-related. It didn't seem to justify a thread of its own, but we didn't have a thread for general discussion, as far as I could see. So I made one :)

Anyway, here's what I found: yet another BBC article, this time about the nature of the presidency of the United States. The author found an interesting quote: "Great Britain is a republic, with a hereditary president, while the United States is a monarchy with an elective king." I don't think it's entirely true, but it says a lot about the powers and roles of the two positions.

Sadly it's become that. Ever since television.

Clockwork:
So I was linked this test to see which party my answers match most. Apparently I'm a right-wing libertarian.

If anyone else wants a bash: http://uk.isidewith.com/political-quiz

I got 92% similar to conservative, 91% similar to UKIP and 66% similar to lib dems.

Jubal:
For me:
Labour 97%
Green 93%
Liberal 89%
Tory 20%
UKIP 16%
