Just interested as to where they were as the discussion there was floating towards ideology. I thne wondered if by being neutral and having a long history of it, would skew the country's mindset against such organizations and war in general.
On your second question, which I will answer before setting up a topic on the other issue, it's a little muddled. We are not Nato-members, but we did reluctantly, join the EU after a hard-fought referendum in 1994, and that is now undermining our neutrality, even though the Social Democrats desperately try to conceal it. We weren't actually neutral during the Cold War either, it was a charade.
This is a boring headline, but it will have to do for now. Will American politics head towards Europe, that is social questions are defused and ecnomical matters are paramount? What do you think...
