Certainly not Nordic/socialist, but very interesting. The long democratic tradition -- a tradition quite different from most modern democracies -- has resulted in something that seems quite interesting (as an outsider, anyway).</p>101252http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2017-10-26T15:31:12+00:002017-10-26T15:31:12+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://mastodon.club/users/ink_slingerinkslingerOld man from way out west.

I'm uncomfortable with change more in the sense of the huge cultural change that would come with moving to a new country on the other side of the ocean.</p><p>I'd be quite happy with some major political changes in my home country (since it would, in my opinion, taking what I am familiar with but making it better).</p>101247http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2017-10-26T15:29:21+00:002017-10-26T15:29:21+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://mastodon.club/users/ink_slingerinkslingerOld man from way out west.
