Moby wants to split America
Democrat-supporter Moby wants to split America into three nations, following George W Bush's victory in the US presidential election.
The disappointed dance star concedes Republican Bush received the majority of votes nationwide, after claiming vast swathes of middle America and the deep south - but argues California and New York should be granted independence from Bush's administration, because they voted overwhelmingly in favour of Democrat candidate John Kerry.
Moby argues: "America is essentially a right-wing Republican country. We might resist this fact, but it is a fact. It's not a fact in Manhattan. It's not a fact in LA or San Francisco… but for 100 plus million people it's a fact.
"We live in a divided country. Can't we have the breakaway republics of 'North- east-istan' (north-east US) and 'Pacific-stan' (west coast)?
"Wouldn't the red (Republican) states be happier without us? We could still travel freely and trade freely with them, but can't we just leave?
"Then you could have 3 countries: Northeastistan - Pacificstan - Redstateistan."
