The conservatives are definitely beholden to Christians to get elected, but consistently ignore them to a large degree when actually in office except to throw them the occasional bone to stay in office come election time. Liberals could give a **** about fundamentalist Christian support though, cause the idea of an Evangelical voting Democrat for any reason is simply laughable. And as far as donations, Christians wish they could put up the kind of money to buy and sell our politicians as big business does.

Perhaps all the Sikhs should hide.

Australia is probably more like the U.K. than anywhere else, with the Westminster political system copied from them, universal health, etc. On the other hand we are more like the US in terms of being 'New World', i.e. whites arrived recently in what is celebrated as a 'discovery' rather than the near genicide it actually was.

You are indeed all a bunch of tits, but I was speaking of breasts.
