Well, I'm biased. What can I say? I've lived seventeen years in this country! There was a time when people asked me why do I stay if it's so bad, and I would say, "oh, it's because of the beautiful weather, the great food, and the friendly people". And then no more questions.
A country that keeps voting the Nasty Party to power again and again, and only votes otherwise when it votes its Light version, is not a country that people choose because it's a nice place to live in.
