This is a really strange question and I am surprised so many posters think they understand what is being asked.

I mean, if we're supposed to hold fixed their publicly stated policies and ignore the psychological or historical factors behind those policies, then I do understand what is being asked. But then the answer should be: all the leaders of rich democracies would be Democrats, albeit hawkish ones in some cases. Even the Likud supports universal health care and legal abortion. But that doesn't seem to be how people are interpreting it, and indeed is depicted as a sort of naive way to answer the question; instead the question is about the actual humans. But what counterfactual scenario is described by "if David Cameron were American"? When does he move to America? At age 2? At age 21? Tomorrow? Would not this counterfactual biography likely lead to his values changing in an unpredictable way?
