And I think it's better than most other middle European countries in germany, economically/politcally speaking. Though I'm not too sure about France... but it's France, you don't want the whole world making jokes about you eating snails and frogs.  But seriously, germany has lots of options, and a great culture/history. Even the dark side of germany's history actually has a great effect on today's germany: it's one of the most restrictive countries in the world when it comes to dealing with politcally unacceptable parties/opinions. | ||

In his short period as leader he has basically obliterated anything resembling science and pushed though massive tax cuts to millionaires. I cannot even begin to list the shit that I don't like that he stands for and is doing because it would take too long. He is a super conservative Christian and is completely incompetent at speaking and communicating. The worst thing is he is actually popular. Many of my friends are talking up this cretin and his ridiculous policies. So basically I want to move country. Somewhere secular and non-violent with decent employment and non-harsh weather. Somewhere active and progressive. Not worried about languages I can learn them. Danes, Belgians, Germans, Czechs etc, what do you like about where you live? As for sweden: secular Most definitely. non-violent Check. non-harsh weather Can be cold, but not too bad. massive tax cuts Not likely to happen here. decent employment Damnit. | ||

Oh yeah and then there's pushing for the oil sands as much as possible while we're in the midst of a global climate crisis. Although our environment minister makes a fair point that Canada still only contributes 2% as a whole to global CO2 emissions, its just sad that our leadership seems focused on sending exactly the wrong message to the global community on this issue. I feel for you...in general it seems like the Earth is kind of screwed though regardless who was elected. It seems like its the decade of the conservatives in every country except the US, although you could argue Obama is basically a conservative compared to what liberalism used to be in that country. | ||

I'll still throw in a vote for Germany though. And I've got a soft spot for the Netherlands, despite not knowing much about it. How are Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales doing these days anyways? | ||

I always take opportunities like this to get educated about international politics, but there doesn't seem to be too many good sources I can get off the internet on this guy. No problem if you can't provide sources, but it would be welcome if you could toss some my way. The website of his political party. Particularly their official news releases. It's not really hidden. This is because he almost never speaks in public. He's totally incompetent. Thanks for all these responses guys! Keep em coming! | ||

But since you're probably pretty young still, if you want to give it a shot what the heck, go for it.

I haven't been in the US but I hear it's pretty terrible there, and trust me, it's downright awful in Japan and Korea. | ||

Me and the fiance make slightly above the limit for tax cuts so we get like 300 euros more a year yay! Totally worth not having children getting fruit in school and letting students study fulltime and work fulltime to stay afloat! | ||
