International Retirement Destinations for Liberals?

This is not a joke. My parents want to retire abroad but they don't want an area full of conservative expats, as many of the Latin American communities tend to be. Anybody know of good retirement havens that have lots of liberals ("leftists" for you non-Americans)? How is Panama for this?

    I don't know, but I DO know that Panama is probably pretty conservative. I'm reading Confessions of an Economic Hitman right now, and he makes out the US citizens in the canal zone as being extremely conservative. . . I assume any ex-pat community today would be chock-full of those guys.

    Well, I am retired in Mexico, in an area that does NOT have thousands of Americans, but the Americans that do live around here are 99% raving liberals. I really do not think their political views should be a determining factor...unless they are not able to allow others to have their own opinions. Most retired folks here get along well with everyone. Politics is not a big concern. Expenses, climate, type of city are usually most imortant in deciding on a place.
