What US state is most similar to Britain.

[opebo]

New Jersey.

Small, densely populated, with both both booming and depressed areas.  Politically - a dominant moderate left backed up by traditional class-conscious unionism and a large minority of moderate rightists who tend to be relatively well off.  Very little social conservatism - Republicans in NJ are a lot more like Tories than say Republicans in the South (or central PA).
