Which Political Label Fits You Best?

Torn between liberal, independant, Democrat, libertarian, socialist, I settled on Green.

There was no secular humanist party so I went for 'Green' because that's probably how I'll vote next election (Don't worry Sturgis - I'm in a different country)

I am an Anarchodemocrat, but I wasnt entirely surprised that label wasnt in the menu of choices, since I made it up myself.

I vote Green, but I'm not really all that passionate about environmentalism. I mostly like their combination of free-thinking socio-cultural values and leftwing economic values. That would put me somewhere in between a liberal (American usage) and a socialist, I suppose.

I dont like the tendency of centralism in socialist governments (which ran amock in the perverse shootoff of authoritarian communism). I'm for "the spread of power, income and knowledge", as one old Dutch Labour slogan had it. That means redistributive economics, too. But, although privatisation has gone way out of hand (the railways shouldnt have been privatised; council housing neither), I dont want the state to nationalise key industries or anything.

And besides, socialism has been used to describe anything from proper democratic welfare-state social-democracy to the communist dictatorships.

Now Social-democrat, that would have been a better compromise so-so solution, but it's not in the list.

Liberal, in any case, is out. For one because in much of Europe it means (or encompasses) the celebration of free-market ideology. Secondly, because I associate it with American centre-leftists of the wishy-washy kind. The ones who do cherish some abstract notion of social justice, but in practice waste little time thinking about minimal-wage poverty and working conditions, instead only getting really energetic when post-material issues or 'blue-state' values come up (separation of church and state, gay marriage, teaching of evolution, abortion, civil liberties, environment, etc). They're like the mirror version of the cultural conservatives and their diversionary "wedge issues", that way. Not that I disagree with the liberals on any of those counts, just the prioritisation is too elitist for my ease.

So ... I settled for socialist, after all.

How come the poll results add up to 94%

I think a semicolon should replace that last comma

little<will drive you all nuts while I take this program>k.

You missed other mistakes, littlek.

If you are going to correct something, make sure you leave no stone unturned.

too tired.... what did I miss?

Hmmm, I came up with 97%

Call me crazy, but shouldn't there be a period at the end of that sentence?

yep.

Shouldn't that yep be capitalized?

Rounding errors - the vote counts add up.
