Dutch referendum: No wins 63-37

I beleive the current Dutch government is a center-right coalition. And they have troops in Iraq. It's not that leftist.

I'm kind of under the impression it's what you would basically get if you threw San Francisco down in the middle of rural Georgia and carved a small country around it. San Francisco would dominate it, and it would appear very leftist because of that. But that's not the true case.

There actually are places in the US of mostly Dutch ancestry similar to what Lewis is describing as well. Check out Northwest Iowa.

If I were European, I would staunchly oppose admitting Turkey to the EU for three reasons:

1-only about 3% of it is located in Europe.
2-It continues to back a seperatist republic in Cyprus and undermine that current member.
3-It still has a pretty lousy human rights record
