I have a sick feeling that there would still be plenty...and they'd mostly be in the mainstream media. They'd be circling like vultures over the Conservative areas, waiting for something awful to happen.
Then, failing to find anything damning, they'd slink back to the Liberal areas and blame all the Liberal's woes on the "evil Conservatives withholding their wealth."
After that, the Liberals would start doing border raids on the Conservative areas. Then the Conservatives would put up a fence and the Leftists in the mainstream media would cry "Apartheid!!" and we'd be condemned by the all the socialists of the world ranging from Europe to the U.N.
And then things would REALLY start getting silly...
I don't forsee us being separated, we'd have to carry ID cards or something. State ones, hopefully. We'd still live, work and shop side by side but we would have different tax rates and such depending on what the local Liberal and Conservative councils decided to do.
It would be too complicated to have one for the libertarians though... what if it were more than taxes and spending?? Local Libertarians legalize pot and gambling... only libertarians would be effected by the new laws....
Imagine businesses swiping an ID to see if a person is paying a 4% or a 9% sales tax. Buses, libraries and welfare offices would be checking them to make sure your a liberal I guess.
I have got to get this idea fleshed out and send the idea to Shawn Macomber over at www.returnoftheprimitive.com
