It seems to me that the members of this game are swinging farther and farther to the left politically. Where do you fall?

I don't really fit into any of those entirely. My political ideals would be a mix between anarchism and libertarianism. My actual thoughts on policy would make me a centrist.

As an anarcho-communist, I don't really fit in any of those, though I might qualify as liberal, it would be like saying that liquid metal is warm.

You didn't put my political leaning in there.

:roll: yet another poll perpetuating the liberal versus conservative view of politics. my political orientation isn't represented there at all, and neither are those of many other people. there's a whole lot beyond simple liberal and conservative.

You're a form of moderately authoritarian capitalism. One the other hand, all capitalism is at least somewhat authoritarian, but you see my point.

Amen. One of the quad grids, or even better an 3d grid works so much better.

I simply cannot answer the poll.

If you want a party affiliation: repblican/libertarian/natural law.

wrong again, Letila. i am as far from authoritarian as one can get without reaching anarchy. but don't let a little thing like reality interrupt you as you tell me what my beliefs are ;).

I had other views on the poll but for some reason it only let the top 3 post.

I am liberal leaning but hardly a liberal. Can't use any of those poll answers to describe my affiliations.

I am very conservative. (Fascist actually)

By American standards, I am halfway between a paleo-conservative and a libertarian. I guess that would make me somewhat conservative.

But by European standards, I am a fascist yank pigdog. So maybe "very conservative" would be a better option.

Liberal Independant.

and by Independant, I mean Im not a Democrat, or Republican, and have voted for candidates of both parties.
Third parties as well.

(but not Libertarian, they scare me.)

I really don't know. On some issues I am quite libral, on others quite conservative. I'm a real mixed up bag of ideals.

I'm very very economically conservative and tend to be moderate leaning either way, liberal or conservative mostly the latter, socially speaking.

I'm a mixed up bag of ideals with purple hair and a girlfriend, so I suppose that would make me a liberal.

I'm a communitarian, but not in the sense that the community is better than the individual. I'm a socialist, but I'm conservative on social issues.

Politically I pray for the end of civilization, starting with the bombing of all government builings throughout the world, and for the age of consent to be lowered to about 3years old.

Although our nation has the patriotic aspect and a solid economy, we are otherwise insanely liberal, especially when it comes to recreational drugs and underage sex. Gives the nation RP flavor.

This poll is not very good - it treats politics as a one-dimensional affair. At the least you could split it into social and economic policies.

I would describe myself as a realist. Somewhat central, depending on where your centre is.

I wouldn't say that as I have quite extreme ideas on both sides...but then again, I also have very moderate views.
