One of the things i would love to see in the US is if they copied our school system. Basically it's that everyone pays taxes for it but each group in society can get together and create a school according to their view of life but at the same time kept to generalized standards.So Catholics have their schools, Protestants have their schools,Muslims have their schools,liberals have their schools,you know it's a wide variety we never had the bitter debates you've had in the US about if people can pray in school or not.It's just not an issue we skirted around it and I think thats why even today you know, you get sort of..middle of the road consensus building laws that give everyone something? You also see it in labor relations.People try and come to some kind of middle ground.It's origins is probably the fact that for centuries large parts of the country could suddenly flood forcing people together on these small elevated mounts called terps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_dwelling_hill .In those sort of situations you don't want people fighting over stuff.So they had to learn to compromise and find some mutually acceptable space and get along. Also all our governments are so called coalition governments.Two or more parties forming one government.So you could imagine say in the US, democrats and the greens forming a majority together or conservatives and libertarians forming a government and how that would work out in society.Everyone gets his space and time we try to not saw them off at the knee...well not to harshly anyway..we saw them just slowly and less harsh lol
