If so, then this must be because the people elected a socialist government.
Fewer than half did.
>I am not a socialist. I don't like socialism Nor do I. So by your logic, people who don't like socialist policies should be free to choose which laws they obey (e.g. pay taxes at the rate they *think* they should). This would be an unpractical mess - even worse than your state of weights and measures.
To be honest I can't remember how this fit in with the relevence of the rest of the post. However, if a socialist govt is elected it does not mean I have to become a socialist.
However, Being a Friday afternoon I'll soon need to wathe tru this mess of state of measurements to at least try and have an enjoyable evening. It's gonna be tough though ;-)
