im conservitive republican

I am a conservative republican. I am not one of those who always votes on the party line, it just happens that republicans generally share more values with me than the other parties do.

the most recent list is this one http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=442409

edit: oh if we're talking what (RL) parties we support... none. my beliefs are nuts ;)

Libertarian

I'm a neoconservative, shading too social-liberal.

I agree with most of the Republican Party, most of the time.

I'm a registered Republican.

Once upon a time (pre-911), I was a registered Green.

True story.

I´m a member of SSU, the Swedish Socialist-Democrat Youth party.

I'm a hardcore liberal according to the quiz in this thread - http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=442550

I vote for the LCR (Ligue Communiste Révolutionaire - Communist revolutionary league). I don't agree with everything, but they're the less bad alternative at the elections.

I'm what some people call a "Militant Liberal".

Hard-core conservative, and the closest thing to that in my country is the wishy-washy tories...

so I tend to class myself as a republican... even though they're in another country.

I have to agree, i wish i could disagree, but the tories are wishy washy, i hope that not so in the future.

In a conservative, been registered for 2 years, allways will be.

Member of the British Conservative Party, but we've made our own "party" for the forum elections. The Emphatically Silly Party. Why not join us... the thread's still floating around somewhere.

I vote for different parties depending on the level of government, but they all have one things in common: They are socially liberal and devoted to preserving and further advancing civil and equal rights. Economically they differ (from liberal - and that's the classic liberal, not the perverted American notion of "liberal" that denotes left wing - to somewhat communist), and that's how I decide which level of government I wish them to be at.

Fiscal Conservative , social Liberal. But when it comes down to choice, I will always choose the candidate that will protect us. Basically, I'm a Militant Independent? (sound right?)

I'm a British Democratic Socialist...unlike the Blairite capitalists!

However there aren't many leftist parties here that stand in elections, so i'd have to vote Lib Dem (lesser of three evils) when i come of age...

I have usually, but by no means exclusively, voted for the Social Democrats... (www.sap.se)

Lib Dem

What they are asically saying is
Vote MOBRA!
Because you can!

I'am a moderate democrat with liberal overtones and libertarian ideals

actually a populist leaning liberal

Republican

I'm fairly conservative economically, more centrist socially

and a hawk

On here, revolutionary trotskyist party.

In real life, im a member of a group not far off that

Right smack in the middle with opinions going both ways. I suppose it will be impossible to make everyone happy with such nebulous philosophy!

Woo! A fellow LCR voter! Dans mes bras, camarade! ;)

And in NS, of course, I'm the founder of the United Democratic Communist Party.

What the.... I'm from Britain and two fo the main parties are left wing and one is centrist, there is no right-wing main party.

*blinks*

What world do you live in? Your view of the political spectrum must be strangely warped if you see the Tories as a centrist party!

Come to think of it... Your view of the political spectrum must be strangely warped if you see New Labour as a left-wing party! Most people would put them as being right-of-centre.

Are they big among the movement in the UK? I haven't even heard of their Australian branch.

i used to be in the tinoka ku ush Yopenya
but i'm planning on leaving soon, not shure what i'll join(most of the other parties aren't actually 'parties', for example, the yopenyen fascist party(it doens't actually call itself fascist, but i call it that cause there's no word for it in english and it's the closest word to what i've encountered to it, where on the other hand the democratic totalitarian party does almost directly translate) is actually an already running psuedo-government(since not all people actually follow their laws)), but i've come to think of totalitarian democracy as impossible(actually, a big reasone for thinking it improssible is from reading discussions on NS)
sorry for so many parenthesis.

what parties are here?i'd say pretty much ALL of them,with the possible exception of neo-nazis.and there may be some made up ones.like neo-retro-communazism

I'm officially independant, for as little government interference as possible. But, at the polls, I tend to split 50% Libertarian* (positions with no power but "social influence," since nobody but me'll vote for the office anyway), then split democrat (real offices, since I'd rather them than repubs, & they stand a better chance than libs) & republican (Anything primarily financial) based on what the office does.

I used to be left-liberal, but I started paying attention a while ago. For instance... "Pricey Social program D has to exist because of Social Programs A, B, & C. A is moderately cheap and pointless; B does a lot of good once a decade or so, nothing but a point of pride between, and costs us a percentage of our GDP either way; & C does almost nothing but harm, makes pocket change which is almost all lost in administering and controlling it, but is popular despite obvious corruption and a general consensus that it only does harm."**

My younger self'd keep 'em all, because you need D if you have any, and they do some theoretical good. Now I'm cheap and I'd chose to revamp B a bit to theoretically but not actually cover C, use the difference there to misappropriate funds for D, and make it so corrupt that people expect it.

*Some of you might connect "Libertarian" with "as little government interference as possible." Their theory is nice, but in practice, they're "Everything the rest promise you, but legal pot & hookers, no taxes, and universal free healthcare by benevolence of the rich." Internal contradictions which seem to lead to an unfunded dictatorship which could do anything it wants, but chooses not to. That's why I want them to win pointless positions, so enough people know about the party to make a coup de etat by the people who actually believe in a government with minimal interference.

**Yes, these do all refer to something specific and relatively major. You might not have heard of A if you're not American, B+C aren't considered social programs, but there's a good chance everyone would know all four of them.

I am a member of the British Labour Party, and am a Parish Councillor and im only 15, im also leader of Young Labour in my town.
I am also a member of two other political parties which are alligned with the British Labour Party they are the Christian Socialist Party and the Co-op Party.

How I yearn for the glory days of Margaret Thatcher (although I'm only 14) and no, I do not wish the IRA was more active.

We're a small group affiliated with Workers Power. We're strongest in the UK with a membersip of maybe 2-300. However small we are, we're well known for being militant (at the 2001 G8 protests you can see a revo flag flapping about before carlo gets killed by the fuckers) and somewhat of a pest to the SWP :)

What was funny in the Gleneagles march, was when the dressed up comedians went and hugged the "grumpy communists" who were having a march.

Hurray! There are actually socialists in Britain who aren't me or George Galloway! Luckily, I live in Scotland, where the Scottish Socialist party has a real, if small, place in government. Maybe not so much so in the national elections, but definitley in the Scottish elections. The system of representational election in the Scottish parliament ensures that parties like the SSP or Greens actually get a say. Unfortunately, this system also gives nutty right-wing guys a chance. But, luckily, there aren't that many radical nationalists in Scotland (good old Scotland is the home of Kier Hardie and the original Labour party, after all). Nationalism here is more a sort of patriotic thing, rather than a fascist thing. This means that the Scottish Nationalist party is pretty central and not a dangerous bunch of rascist nuts, like the BNP.
Your right that the Lib. Dems are the lesser of evils, but I don't know how much better they'd be than Labour. Less capitalistic, yes, but they'd probably be pretty ineffective at getting things done- they're always too 'nice' and inoffensive for their own good.
Sorry for the long post.

You murdering Nazi! This better be a joke! Thatcherism drove this country into the ground. If you call record unemployment, break down of peace talks, and the funding of extremist, right-wing death squads in Nicuragua 'glory days', then your probably a proud member of the Nationalist Socialist Party. Go off and slaute your swastika, you Nazi scumbag.
Obviously, being 14, you're too young to know what that monster did to this country, and others. Remember the Falklands?

Now first off, I really hate the American two party system. Now that that's out of the way I fall into ideologically and am registered as a Democrat, but I have voted both for Republicans and Greens before, though slightly more greens than republicans. And a lot more democrats. If the US would give any chance to third or fourth parties, I would probably move to the greens (even if I still have a couple sticking points with their nuclear and slave repirations policies that I disagree with strongly) or else get to work to start a real progressive party.

Basically, I'm some one that says, "Okay, the world's shitty, lets make it less shitty. Lets try this... if that doesn't work we'll try something else."

Young Labour? What's tha... Oh wait, I know! You mean the Blaire Youth.

p.s. No 'Socialist Party' worth a damn would align itself with the capitalistic New Labour.

And wasnt it REALLY HILARIOUS when billions of people got fucked over by the 8 leaders of the industrial world YET AGAIN!?!?!?! HAHAHAHA

Is that another nickname for the Republican Party, a bit like GOP is?

the american fascists actually want to get rid of the democratic system, so i wouldn't say they are :)

but the american fascists just sound like a new populist party(original meaning)

I'm an Independent, but vote Democratic overall. However, I vote republican if the Democrat is a terrible candidate or is incompetent (like Capri Cafaro...terrible)

I'm registered as a member of the green party. I tend to vote green or democrate.

I support the Liberal Party of Australia. Which, curiously enough considering it's name, is Australia's equivilant of the British Conservatives and American Republicans. Although it's traditionally been to the left of both of them, it's now more right wing than the British Conservatives.

Not a member, but that's mainly because I'm lazy... but I volunteered for the last election campaign and I've done some work for a Liberal MP.

To describe my political beliefs, I'm basically a Neo-Con with very Free Market ideas. First describe myself as a Neo-Con pre-9/11, didn't just jump on the bandwagon.

Registered member of the Socialist Worker's Party - thought they dont run for elections since they are a revolutionary party :P
However, they do support RESPECT (who do run for elections) - but I think George Galloway is an arse.

Either way...I voted Liberal Democrat this election (as has been stated elsewhere, lesser of three evils).

Psh, whatever happened to the good old British Labour Party. At one point it used to actually give a damn about the working class.

I believe they decided that spending all of eternity in opposition was not a good idea.
