An American was on Question Time last week and he said that nowhere in Europe did a political party resemble the Repulicans in terms of what they stand for - church involvement, pro guns etc - I was just wondering if a party did take the same stance as the Republicans would you vote for them?

No. The closest we have to them regarding gun laws is the BNP. Which shows just how insane the Republicans are!

You have it backwards. The people who have come to America in the 1900's typically voted Democrat because they were treated like garbage by the Republicans because they were low class and a drain on society. People typically vote Republican or Democrat because traditionally, you voted however your father voted for whatever reason. Republicans vote Republican because they want to protect their investment in America (home, business, religious views, socioeconomic status, etc) from people unlike themselves and it is the party of the wealthy and powerful - success by association I suppose. Nothing really wrong with that. Democrats vote Democrat because: 1. Republicans pick on them repeatedly for being different 2. Democrats feel stifled by the traditional views of Republicans 3. Republicans arbitrarily raise the prices of everything and offer a flimsy excuse as to why they did 4. Republicans like war a little too much 5. Democrats have way better sex lives. 6. Democrats are more fun. 7. Republicans hate the poor for some reason. 8. Democrats are more creative. 9. Democrats understand that a community includes everybody, even the undesirables. 10. Republicans attract too many openly and unapologetic bigots/racists in their camp. 11. Republicans are always angry about something that really doesn't concern them at all. 12. Republicans justify their anti-social behavior by stating facts that don't relate to the current situation. 13. Republicans have an odd sense of humor. 14. Republicans don't smile enough. So find the people who those things fit and resonate with and you'll be better able to determine who is more likely to vote Democrat or Republican.

They are so used to having the government do absolutely everything for them that there are no Republicans or Libertarians in Europe. Ive met a few that have moved here. They are so inept about not being told what to do by the government they leave within a year. Thats what happens when the best & brightest are all killed in wars.

From my understanding Poland might be the most likely to have people that would support the Repuglies.
In Italy there's a fascist party. They probably would.
Britain has some cons, like the ones who think Margaret Thatcher was the best.
In France was Le Pen, who was a very conservative guy who ran for pres. a few years ago.
In Germany there's the CSU, an ultraconservative party that doesn't get much support.
However, if Europe had our population, with lots of minorities that are less fortunate than the whites, I wonder if they would continue to be liberal??? Probably not.

No, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no, no!
Oh, and, no.
Look at the damage they're doing to us from over there, can you imagine if they were actually in power here? We'd all be taking Fox news as gospel and shooting th hell out of each other in a matter of months.
I reckon the only people who would be enjoying themselves would be the BNP and the type of pro-lifers who shoot doctors.
*shudder*

Probably not - not everyone believes in God so they wouldn't want an involvement in the church, and guns are against the law in the UK anyway (unless licensed for a sport).

sorry we here in the Nation of Scotland are far to smart to be stupid enough to vote for the Repuglians.
i don't think our English neighbours would either. Most of the repugulians that come here don't stay long they find doing and thinking for your self a tough concept
no offence the the American people i think they are great. not so their government

I wouldn't, despite voting conservative here (UK). Republicans seem too obsessed with going to war.
