I am *so* not buying this troll thing, dude :-)
But just in case I'm wrong,
In rough foreign equivalents:
Republicans == UK Thatcherite Conservatives,
Kohl-ite German CDU, etc
Democrats == No UK equivalent. Quite like the
German Free Democrats or Aussie Labor
Party (corporate-friendly, post-sell-out,
wish-they-were-worker-friendly, self-
perception doesn't stand up to reality).
Yeah, by those defs the UK Labour Party'd be like the
Democrats, but even our lot aren't quite as spineless.
Yet.
