Little "L" libertarian. I don't know if I'll ever vote.

And at last, the big 2,500.

Despite my socially liberal nature, I am a Republican. I don't think that the Democratic blundering of fiscal and monetary policies (which I find self-contradictory and moronic) is a strong program, nor do I believe that the reforms some liberal legislatures and governments have attempted upon various states have helped those areas.

American party: irrelevant, as I'm not a citizen yet.

Russian party: pretty much anything opposed to Putin. Whatever coalition will be running against him in the next election will probaly get my vote. Unless it's the Commies, of course.

Have a very nice day.

Canadian, I vote for the Liberal Party of Canada. I dislike the conservatives, hate the Canadian Alliance, and am not fond of the overly left wing NDP party.

The Liberals are not perfect but they are a decent "centrist" party. Not too Left wing, not too right wing. Allthough they seem to be a bit more left wing than right.

Political party? I thought this was going to be about actual parties! I was going to say I was the kind at the pub where everyone's nicely happy and singing drinkin' songs.

I hate political parties. To bad there is nothing that could ever be done about them.

I'm not really affiliated with any one party, being center-left and all. But I'll register as independent in 2004, just in time to kick Bush out.

Considering the current political parities, I'm more likely to bote Liberatarian then anything.

I'm a walking party all by myself, to judge by the empty tequilla bottle on which I just stubbed my toe.

Independant, although I tend to lean towards the Reps.

I am a former member of the Progressive Unionist Party of Northern Ireland www.pup.org I actually spent 2 1/2 years working as a volunteer for the party in Stormont. I left when a member of the party tried to have me shot because i acused his wife, a fellow worker in the party, of being incompetant.

I'm now a member of the Ulster Unionist Party but i want to start a Northern Ireland Branch of the Monster Raving Mad Looney Party.

I'm a registered DFLer, because I wouldn't trust a Minnesota Republican any further than I could throw Tim Pawlenty.

Real Fascist party

Registered independent, I'm a combination of liberal and libertarian. I think we need basic social services but the current ones are too inefficiently run to be effective, and we don't need a huge government. I haven't voted for President yet, and I vote whoever's position seems to promote what I believe needs to be done.

well, I'm registered Republican (not to say that I support Bush2 -- I dont anymore), for the principal reason of my dislike for 'liberal' democrat taxation policies -- they seem to think that taxation (more of it, and disproportionately upon those who succeed beyond 'working class') will solve all the governments (and by extension, societies') problems.

I feel a need to explain my stance above. It is my theory that the economy, being a megalithic organism of sorts, takes a considerable amount of time to evolve a significant change in behavior or structure when its' environment changes in some way... ie, if tax rates are changed, it will literally take years (possibly many, given the state of the economy at the time of the change) for the effects of that change to become noticeably significant in the economy as a whole.

When Clinton took office, he was inheriting from the taxation policies of Reagan & Bush1 an economy that was just beginning to really boom, having finally recovered from the ever increasing tax rates of previous decades (those rates having been lowered by the aforementioned republican administrations, though Bush1 did raise them somewhat). Upon entering office, one of the first things clinton did was to raise income taxes on the upper middle and wealthy classes to levels more commonly seen in europe (the same levels they were at under Carter), the negative effects of which would slow down and eventually utterly reverse the boom brought on by -- you guessed it -- Reaganomics. The economic downturn that the dems would see pinned on Bush2's tax policies is in reality due to the fiscal insanity of their own 'golden boy', and would have been just as bad if not worse had Gore gotten in. give these new rates a few more years, and the economy will boom again, providing that Bush2's other policies dont utterly bankrupt us first -- of course, by then a dem will be in control again, and they will get all the (undeserved) credit.

Frankly though, I dont think income taxes are any good... the best -- and only truly fair -- tax would be a flat (in the single-digit % range), across the board sales or VAT tax with no exemptions for any person or organization save for necessities, ie food, water, power & healthcare (and for-profit organizations like corporations would have no exemptions for anything except food & water).

I don't affiliate myself with any party because I don't feel the need to. In any case, I need to register to vote (again) since I've moved since I registered.
