    We must then assume you're speaking from your vast experience of conducting interviews/hiring along with your knowledge of working with said "kids." Correct?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy would all be considered conservative.

    By liberalism I mean the original political philosophy called by that name—the one espoused by John Locke and embodied in the Bill of Rights.

    Liberalism is based on the hypothesis that people ought to be maximally free, with the government intervening only to the extent required to protect their freedoms against abridgment by their compatriots or by enemies abroad.

    This was a radical idea in the eighteenth century, when few people had much education and the general public was routinely slandered as ignorant and untrustworthy. Locke himself feared that the public was so mired in “passion and superstition” as to be apt, as Voltaire put it, to act irrationally and “speak without thinking.”

    Sharing such qualms, many of the American founders described the newborn United States as akin to a scientific experiment. “No experiment can be more interesting than that we are now trying,” wrote Thomas Jefferson in 1804, “and which we trust will end in establishing the fact, that man may be governed by reason and truth.”

    Liberal democracy—the form of government in which a majority can elect leaders but not constrain human rights—has survived innumerable social experiments to become the choice of more than a third of all humanity and the stated preference of most of the remainder.

    and?......does this mean you are also making the claim they are totalitarian?......

    do they fall under this description?
    centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
    If so I am surprised the EU hasn't chucked them out.......
