Are you conservative, liberal, or somewhere in between? Feel free to explain your answer or remain anonymous.

Moderate I suppose. There are some left-wing policies I agree with, and some right-win policies I agree with.

I'm an independent. On some policies I agree with the liberals and some with the conservatives; some a hybrid of both and on too many, neither side.

I'm a moderate-conservative when it comes to the politics of my own country. Just to bore you all to death, here are the English pages of the party I vote for: http://www.kokoomus.fi/english/ :wink:

If I were an American, I would vote for the Democrats. If they were a European party, they would be probably considered moderate-conservative, unlike in the USA.

Moderate-Conservative, though I have some pretty far right leanings on a couple issues.

I always vote in who I think is the more capable of the two moderate parties. But I tend, in thought, to be liberal.

Moderate Conservative. BUT there are some liberal views that I agree with and the rest is just garbage.

I tend to be conservative on most domestic issues (especially regarding medical and economic coverage) and foreign affairs. I think that conservatives generally have a better grasp of what kinds of policies would actually work in the world as we know it, but that liberals have a much better concept of ideals and morality. When they can agree on things, it usually means that it's a good idea.

As far as personal freedoms and taxes go I am what a conservative should be(not the pseudo-fascism the republican party under bush has become)


As far as equal rights, environmental protections and unecessary war goes I am liberal

I think I'm a moderate conservative...I decide on issues based on whatever I like and dislike. But I am generally a conservative person. So I think it's more coincidental that my views are the same as some Republicans, as opposed to agreeing with whatever the Republicans say.

I don't like the one-dimensional view of politics (left <-> right) because it pidgeonholes people too much. (Wong called it a "complex question fallacy" in an earlier thread.) I prefer the two-dimensional view:

Then you'll probably feel at home in South Korea :)

I've tried this test several times before, and always end up somewhere in the liberal corner. Basically I'm a moderate liberal who can sympathize with moderate conservatives on SOME law and order issues. I definitely sympathize with libertarians on issues of free expression, but my beliefs in sensible and fair government spending keep me in the liberal corner.
