And blue states are losing their populations to red states.
Uh, no!
Mobility Falls To Record Low As Americans Stay Put : NPR (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=141746124 - broken link)
Rather than housing magnets such as Arizona, Florida and Nevada, it is now more traditional, densely populated states — California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey — that are showing some of the biggest population gains in the recent economic slump, according to the data released Thursday.

Blue states are losing Congressional seats, hence population, relative to other red states picking up seats.
Republicans, conservatives, tea partiers, and libertarians love to talk about the government doing less and shrinking government. I'm just curious if those who think government should be smaller, or shouldn't do much, could point to a country where their political philosophy is currently put in place and is showing good results.
Well when you look at the state of the world, the US debt crisis, Eurozone meltdown, I would ask, in what nation is Keynesian liberalism working?
This is a pretty odd question to ask. First off, how many times do you see liberals say "we're not Mexico" or "we're not Saudi Arabia" when that suits their agenda? Secondly, after three years of liberals controlling congress and two years of a liberal in the WH we certainly know of one country where liberalism doesn't work.

I know, I know.....Bush wasn't a REAL conservative! I know its coming.
You want an example? America, before Big Government ruined it..
That America no longer exists... the OP was asking about countries where small government working exists, not what countries have existed with small government working. Can't understand the difference?
Here's a clue, the only unchanging rule in life is that everything changes. And that in a nutshell is the problem with conservativism politically and socially.
