This is why I don't want US politics catching on here. The extremes of both sides drown out out the middle on many topics.

Where there is common ground, do something about it and then negotiate the rest.

I have to laugh that in the US universal health care is considered socialist by many people and therefore bad.

What the **** is wrong with wanting people to be healthy. It costs 2% of taxable income here. While not perfect it is far better than anything they have! Surely the richest country on earth can manage that?
