Yes I approve of the UK... Although for the next sixteen weeks at least, I disapprove of it's government.


You're quite confident about a labour victory, aren't you?
I'm like... 54% confident.

Ah, fair enough. I'm exhausted, and didn't take the "at least" into account. My bad. :blush:

Anyways, I'd say that my level of confidence of a Labour victory is about the same. Part of me says Labour will win, the other part of me says Alex Salmond will ride in on a horse into the House of Commons, and declare himself the Supreme Leader of the United Kingdom.

The United States of North Amerigo wrote:Hello Nationstates General. Today I have another question. Do you approve of the United Kingdom? The United Kingdom follows the United States on its tours around the world, always by its side. It is also a critical component in NATO. However, it has recently taken unpopular actions, like ignored radical Islam for fear of being labeled as a racist country. Or if the UKIP party wins, and it looks like it is, it will leave the European Union. But still, on the other hand, it is sending troops to Estonia to help prepare Estonian troops. It was the country that has given birth to the most influential powers around the world. I.E Australia, Canada, United States, New Zealand. So my question is, do you approval or disapprove?


Hmm, well the United Kingdom and the United States are almost synonymous when it comes to their foreign policy, but they do differ quite a bit when it comes to their domestic policies. I, being from the latter, really cannot say whether I approve of the United Kingdom's domestic policies... BUT, I do believe the United Kingdom is more of a force for good than for evil, and the same can be said regarding the United States. So, to answer your question, I do approve of the United Kingdom.

Eh, I used the date WW2 because I was too lazy to give an exact date. And, while Tony Blair did fuck up foreign policy wise, Britain has also done a lot of good in the last...say 50 or so years.

Bullshit. Don't you know that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant built boats to sail to the UK? Once they did that, they liberated Birmingham. Everyone knows that.

Despite being British, I do not approve of the UK. 1, it's just the US's lackey of a nation, 2, The people are horrible, homophobia, racism, general ignorance, you name it. 3, it's right wing with no real opposition, and 4, it's incredibly arrogant. A number of other issues that I can't be bothered to post as well, because it'll put me in a bad mood.

And that they have Birminghamastan, which is "100% Sharia Muslim". :roll:

Of course! For God, Queen, and Countries!!!

Personally I think the United Kingdom of today should be disbanded and maybe start a new alliance with new goals and new leadership. The British Union Jack is cool but English flag is better. I also prefer to be called English albeit I don't disapprove of being called British. The kingdom is old and really isn't united anymore. The Empire that once was is exactly that.

(1. Just about every Western nation has close ties with the US.
(2. The people have been ranked as some of the least racist and least homophobic in the world. You'll find that once you leave the UK, homophobia and racism are still widespread. It's not an exclusively British thing.
(3. Labour was in power from 1997-2010, last I checked.
(4. I don't see how it's arrogant.
