    Not here they ain’t. Parliamentary democracy with proportional representation, baby. It’s the bees knees!

      Wow, a representative democracy - I have heard those words before but I struggle to even so much as begin to understand what it might be like in such a place. For instance, I presume you have socialized healthcare? (It’s a good bet b/c the only 2 first-world countries that do not are the USA and Saudia Arabia iirc:-P)

        Switzerland and Japan both do not have socialized health care, off the top of my head. They have much more tightly regulated insurance and prices, but their healthcare isn’t covered by taxes.
