so either multiculturalism doesnt work...

OR

Right Wing governments just arent trying hard enough, because if it does work, they have to start being nice to people who dont conform to what they want them to be.

Truth be told, it's pretty hard for multiculturalism to work. For example immigrants coming from a country where the culture is sexist will probably have a hard time making their traditional culture survive in their new home country where equality between sexes is the norm.

it depends how you do it, even people who support multiculturalism do not support people being able to break the law and stuff, but beyond that if you are tolerant and people come and understand the laws, which you have to assume they do if they come to your nation, then I dont see why people cant get along.

besides, Germany is hardly a good example for either case, there main party is Christian so by its nature biased against many things for no good reason, tolerance is not something they know much about.


This is not true at all. Our Minister of Foreign Affairs (in a conservative / liberal government) is openly homosexual (Guido Westerwelle), the Minister-President of the State of Lower Saxony (a conservative) is a Scottsman and has chances to become the head of federal government at some point (David McAllister), the conservatives are currently governing in a coalition government with the Green Party in the state of Hamburg and the Green Party leader is a muslim (Cem Özdemir).

I can go on if you want me to
