"Liberals" vs. "Conservatives": international Showdown(Europe vs.USA vs. Canada vs.South America etc)

"Liberals" vs. "Conservatives":An international Showdown(Europe vs.USA vs. Canada vs.South America  vs. Australasia vs. Asia vs. Africa vs. Antarctica ;) )    

A couple of past comments suggested a need for such a topic, so here it is.

Round 1: Is the personal political?- Why have you chosen to identify yourself as either(or are you an independent)? What issues stand out for you that you'd be least likely to compromise on? What elements of the "other" are distasteful to you?

Round 2: What does it mean to be "liberal" or "conservative" in your country? What is the political party system like? Is it really clearcut or is there some overlap between parties? Would you switch parties if your main concerns were met by a candidate on an opposing party (are you a party or person voter?)

Round 3: Is your country's political system the best? Why/why not? What do you detest about politics in other countries and what do you admire? What do you like about your own system? (Come on people be nice. After all we are all inhabitants of planet Earth.)

* Optional*  Round 4: Is what divides us really more than what unites us? Or is it the other way around.

Feel free to skip a few rounds or focus on what's important to you. Feel free to express your anger, your anguish and the pain of political disappointment.

Good luck and may the best hue on the political spectrum win. Whatever color that may be.
