Never head of a left, nationalist.


In Ireland, Sinn Fein and the Irish republican socialist party are examples of left nationalist parties.

Arguably the SNP in Scotland is also a left nationalist party.

I was just curious, how many conservatives/liberals are there here?

Personally, I'm a libertarian conservative.


That is pretty close to what I am. One thing I detest: government. I regard it as a necessary evil and less of a plague than run amok anarchy.

We are governed, or soon come to be governed by the sludge and scum of the human race.

Move your dot seven units to the right and there I will be.

When I was younger, I was further left than I am now.

Im a civil libertarian( a 20 year memberof the ACLU) and I'm a economic socialist.

The closest country to my views are the Scandanavian countries of Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Canada, France, Japan and Austrralia are slightly economic socialists.

I'm a centre-left pragmatist. In more detailed terms, anti-EU, against most current immigration, in favour of more control for nation states and democratic right for people to determine their own fate. At the moment, the political system is designed in such a way that the majority of the population can always be ignored, and their right to speak out in a referendum rests in the hands of people who would have nothing to gain and their careers to lose over a referendum.

Huh? In what way? We have a fair amount of welfare services but that is hardly socialist.

Well then every country on earth is slightly socialist if you look at it that way.

I think so but I also think humans are eusocial and can't help it.
Strict individualism whether you call it objectivism or libertarianism is alien to our species.
Unfortunately it is prolly the same set of genes that make us racist. :oops:

Center-right (what hardcore Texans would label "left-wing" or "librual").
