Mind elaborating on those last two lines? I'm a bit confused.
Switzerland meets those criteria, no?
So you disagree with the left financially, with the conservatives on social policies.... see where I'm going with this?
Odd use of the word 'can'. Did you mean that libertarians would be unable to deliver what little they promise to deliver (you'll find a fair number of libertarians still in favour of basic infrastructure government spending, and libertarian parties, such as the Australian LDP are in favour of 'flat' taxes with a negative income tax, essentially the really poor are just given some money, rather than it being filtered through vast bureaucracies and politicised charities)? Or that the free market will be unable to?
edit: I'll post on pragmatism after the last two lines are cleared up.
Wouldn't expect anything less. Part of the reason you're so successful no doubt. I just mean that If I lived there I'd get every cent I had out (and not into swiss franc's either due to the peg, just into switzerland, untouchable by not just the german government, but all the european countries demanding a bailout), so I'm surprised the number was only 3 billion.

I have the unshaken belief that a decentralised goverment with a more local administrative body is far more effective than a central goverment.

Quote: 3 Billion not alot? Maybe it sound like not alot, if I can tell you something about german politics then it is that every single cent is counted and it`s spending evaluated countless times.
