Don't you reside in the UK? Huh
Yes...

Look up the word "republicanism" and you might understand my post Wink

It's just a pet peeve of mine that "voting republican" has become synonymous with the party and not the republican movement. One is a noble cause; the other is a name only.

I got it but I understand that some won't. Sarcasm doesn't come across well in this communication medium. Poe's Law really becomes powerful on the net.

Yeah, I wish we just called our parties "liberal", "conservative", "libertarian" etc.
