I can attest to that first-hand.

And I think as a thought excersize this would be great, just to see what happens with all us SD.netters in pseudo-politics. I'd definately be firmly in the Labour corner, universal health-care and education, taxing the hell out of the rich and corporations, staying away from free trade, and an internationalist approach to foreign affairs. Social liberalism would be widespread on all parties, but we may even end up with a viable third party on this board.

I would be in the so-called "liberal" camp. Though, would rather be in the "Libertarian" third party.

It's too bad we don't have a bigger contingent of out and out social conservatives and Marxists. Then you could see some fun intra-party fighting in both camps. Maybe even splinter parties.

Meh, this would be more of a hypothetical exercise than anything else, to see what collection of policies would appeal the most to members of the forum at large (although the resulting platform would probably be more successful than, say, the Time Cube party). In other words, a "Which hypothetical party would you vote for?" If there were an actual election, it would be a localized poll thing.

Hell, maybe we should run a mock presidential campaign. Use the US system and constitution as a basis?
