The least liberal countries (ie middle east hardline muslim states) are by no means the most prosperous, and a lot of the richer countries are fairly liberal.. not liberal to the point of legal drug use etc but you can fuck whoever you want and practice whatever religion you want in the majority of the most prosperous countries.. i dont think there’s a correlation at all
Drug use and digital economy are the only issues I see affecting the economny, and you can work around them all by enforcing private healthcare on drug users and realising that ownership of information is a flawed concept and people will spend their money in other industries
My only concern is that the most liberal parties have the least practice in governement because we’ve been conservative for so long, so they have more chance of fucking up the ecomonmy. However as worldwide society increases in liberlism over time (which i see as inevitable – plot the course over history) then liberal parties will get more practice and conservative parties will either dwindle or change their stance
but statistically speaking, I still cant think of many rich countries that are very unliberal and I cannot think of many poor countries that are very liberal. I will speak to my misses she is doing human rights for her degree she will know perhaps.
Do you think information should not be a commodity or have value then? The digital rights bill seems fucked up to me but the intent to stop people stealing digital content seems hard to argue morally.
I agree about the lack of practise that’s always a problem for me with the lib dem vote. That and I live in a totally conservative area (*shudders*) so there’s not a massive amount of point in voting lib dem.
