Politics threads overgrowing again?

[mattheus]

From my brief visits to date, I really like Germany (not enough to live there mind - well maybe …)

So perhaps I should spend some time learning about their govt - it sounds interesting!

Coalition politics doesn't always work. Italy, iirc Greece too.

If you cite German politics as proving coalition is the ideal you need to factor in national character traits. I think German society is more unified than the UK and that isn't due to coalition politics it was that way before that came in I reckon.

The day British people become more Germanic in nature is the day coalition politics will happen and work like in Germany.

We are getting away from talking about thread proliferation

Actually Germany was re-booted after 1945, I think the Americans suggested the federal system, West Germany the BRD had an American zone, a French and a British, in part of the latter Scottish regiments were deployed complete with kilts and bagpipes, +1
'Jockxit' would be the word for the time they left

Or attract canadians, Americans and new zealanders who claim Scottish ancestry. A clarion call for yanks looking for their clan tartan claiming to be the real clan chief or laird.
