I have installed it now. I haven't had too much time to look into how configure it (and with a grand total of one spam comment so far, I'm not sure what keywords I particularly need to worry about), so hopefully nobody's real comments end up in the spam bin. Apologies in advance if so. I think you're right about Australia's view of UK politics. With the diaspora, I think work or love probably are suitable synopses of why the majority of people leave. Often people intend to leave temporarily, but then for some reason life gets in the way. I can't really imagine not coming back myself, but I can also understand from a financial perspective why some people can see the logic in earning in sterling over a longer period of time.

In general Australia doesn't care about UK politics, at least not anymore. US Politics it has an interest in so it can insult the right wing President (yes I'm including the Dems) What I don't get is the Aussie Diaspora. Why anyone would leave these shores is beyond me. Marriage I can understand. Work I could understand if it was temporary and you came back. Other variants are beyond me. You have spam above: Might want to install akismet.
