I'd also like to that Zhann & AS for not pulling this thread. Its my personal policy not to chime in on things political or religious. So, I'll say onlythis. Its been very informative reading the comments from Europeans. In my news I only get the opinion from North America, which is skewed at best. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you Europeans. I sincerely hope things work out for the best (in the people's favour). As for the Democracy/Republic debate. I'll add this. I believe there is only 1 Democracy on the planet "Switzerland". They are the only country whose citizens vote directly on every national subject. Every other voting nation are various forms of republics. Including my country, Canada. We have a British parlaimentary system. We vote for representatives that make executive decisions. If we don't like their decision we as a people are powerless to stop them until the next election. So, in effect, we have an Elected Dictatorship. :-P
