I'm from the Netherlands, a country which I consider to be one of the most 'free' in the world.
1) isn’t so bad. (and is in England only) And I believe the FBI/CIA to have more thorough methods of keeping a check on the population. In Britain, if you walk in the center of a large city, you -know- you are being watched. That's the idea. a deterrent,
and it seems to work.
2) isn't my idea of freedom. I'm quite happy living without fear in a gun-restricted country.
3) you can say anything here, including 'I am gay' without causing a ruckus. (it isn’t an excuse either.)
4) no, because in practice, because of your 'system' you will only have 2 parties. And Germany restricts certain parties for understandable historical reasons.
