Not utopian, definitely not how I would describe a perfect country. Exclude everyone not atheist or agnostic? Exclude all right - wingers? Very exclusionary. As for the democratic left government always being there, it may work for a few terms, until everyone's sick of them then a one-party system would have to be set up to ensure it's survival. Can you name any other one-party state that excluded people due to a religious or political view that public opinion favours?
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. - J.R.R Tolkien
