Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

@ the follwing conversation:
IIRC the basic platform for American conservatives and British conservatives are also approximately opposite in nature. Makes political discussions really confusing on an international forum. I'm typically not very interested in politics though, so don't quote me on that.

Indeed. American "liberal" politicians often more rightwing than our conservative party is.

Yea, American politics isn't as extreme as British politics.. The many different British parties have very different beliefs on how the govt. should be run.. Whenever power shifts from the dems to the repubs here in America, there is little difference in the running of the govt.

I want to know when the colors got reversed?
When I was a kid, red was Democrat, and blue was Republican. That's because the letters of the color were found in the name:
DEmocrRat rEpUBLican

It would be much nicer if we had a truly fair election system. The Plurality Voting System now in use tends to favor the oddball candidate when more than two candidates run.
Google "the Independent Voting System" (with the quotes) to see a truly fair election system.

Read the paragraph near the bottom titled "symbols and name".
It was semi-official that the GOP is red after the 2000 election.
Now if ya like the help ya could always raise our reputation...
