Non-US, UK, Aus, and Canada residents only, please.

Only vote in one poll.

EDIT: Meh, the whole thing's been locked, kinda ruining the purpose of the "Great Big" part.

EDIT: I've re-made this into a general poll, per mod's request.

Edit the title of this one and you can use it for EVERY country.

The only problem I see is that "Independant" parties are either liberal, conservative, or moderate.

Well, by "Independent" I mean "not in a party".

You got the stances mixed up. Liberals are Left-leaning and Conservatives are Right-leaning.

And hence, I don't know how to vote. Moreover, while I hold liberal views on social subjects (e.g. abortion, gay marriage, etc.) for my country (the USA), I hold more moderate views on economics (e.g. welfare, social security, etc.).

Since I'm too young to register for a political party, I would say moderate since that's where my Political Compass goes.

What about a completely different category: Those who prefer voluntary cooperation between free humans over any government system.

Because of my travels, I once had three votes at the same time - one in the Republic of Ireland, in Northern Ireland, and in the UK general elections.

I usually vote indepentant, mostly just to stick it to the Man. A few years ago, I voted for a guy calling himself Ming the Merciless, who's campaigning for the legalisation of cannabis in Ireland. :mrgreen:

I am a moderate Democrat. I tend to support the Democratic party more than the Republican party, but I am pretty moderate in my views.

Yeah...it's Kind of impossible for this guy to be elected.

EDIT AGAIN:

into War. Upon being convicted, I think everyone knows what his punishment
will be.


...Is that even possible?

Well, I don't see him saying he is evil and saying that satanists aren't evil is a contradiction.

My favorite thing I've seen is his reason why he hates God... Essentially it boils down to "God is a lousy parent". He is mad at God for sending his son to earth knowing he would be brutally handled and then crucified.

ANYWAY,

TOASTPAINT.

I consider myself independent, but todays politically minded person would lump me in with libreals.

Moderation is going the way of the dodo. -Krazed Squirell

I am an independent. But if I was to be tethered down to a political affiliation, it would be a republican. More accurately, I am a moderate conservative, or at least I think I am...

I would like to say "none," so I guess that makes me independent. What bugs me about modern politics is that we are in situations where change is needed, we acknowledge that change is needed, and we fight it every step of the way. "It's not RIGHT to do it this way." I, for whatever reason, get really irritated when people try to bring morality into the mix as credible, logical, argument because morality varies from person to person. The purpose of government is to create a framework by which society can efficiently operate, and make its policies known to the public. Countries that insert clauses guaranteeing rights like the freedom of expression open a floodgate of interpretation issues that complicate matters. This is odd, since I am a Catholic by baptism so one would be likely to assume that I'd be more likely to allow my ethical beliefs to influence my political views. However, in the cover of the night I am a Machiavellian at heart.

By the way, if it sounded like I was getting agitated or flaming at all in that rant, I really wasn't. :mrgreen: I can easily see where someone would argue the opposite, and since there aren't any encyclopedia articles or court rulings that can exactly determine who is right, I'd be a jerk to act like my thoughts are any more than thoughts.

I'm librish I guess. Most of my views would be categorized as liberal. Except on things like religeon in public places* and such.


*Seriously, who gets offended by that kind of stuff?

I'd say I'm independent because I don't really agree with either major party.

I would just like to say that you can be liberal or conservative and still independent. I am an independent conservative.

I never said you couldn't. Personally I'd describe myself as somewhere between conservative and libertarian.

I'm not old enough to be registered, but I'd say I'm more of a left-wing-type person.

Sorry, the comment was more at the creator of the thread, not directed at you.

Minnesota? What about Massachusetts? Or have you already forgot about Howard Dean? :P

Anyway, I'm a lefty. A liberal. I'm for abortion and all that rot.

Umm...Howard Dean was from Vermont not Massachusetts. He was a better candidate that Kerry, but the media screwed him over. Not to mention Minnesota has had Watler Mondale, whose 1984 presidential campaign slogan was "Where's the beef?' and lost in the most lopsided election in US history. Then they had Jesse "The Body" Ventura, a former Pro Wrestler. Here are some of the things he did as governor.
