Hrm... ACCORDING TO YOUR ANSWERS,
The political description that fits you best is... . CENTRIST CENTRISTS espouse a "middle ground" regarding government control of the economy and personal behavior. Depending on the issue, they sometimes favor government intervention and sometimes support individual freedom of choice. Centrists pride themselves on keeping an open mind, tend to oppose "political extremes," and emphasize what they describe as "practical" solutions to problems. Your PERSONAL issues Score is 70%. Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 60%. [CLICK HERE TO VIEW THIS PICTURE] posted by hungarian kid |

The political description that
fits you best is... . STATIST STATISTS want government to have a great deal of power over the economy and individual behavior. They frequently doubt whether economic liberty and individual freedom are practical options in today's world. Statists tend to distrust the free market, support high taxes and centralized planning of the economy, oppose diverse lifestyles, and question the importance of civil liberties. Your PERSONAL issues Score is 0%. Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 0%. Somewhat accurate, as I believe the government should regulate practically everything, assuming it's a government I acknowledge. It would be terrible if a government I didn't like controlled every aspect of society. [CLICK HERE TO VIEW THIS PICTURE] posted by ralph_angelus |

stinkz: yikes. That's all I can say. Yikes. Yikes, definitely, if it's a bad government. But if it's people who share my views then definitely a statist government is the best. posted by ralph_angelus |

I like their definitions: Left (Liberal): Liberals usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded "safety net" to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations, defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles.
Centrist: Centrists espouse a "middle ground" regarding government controlof the economy and personal behavior. Depending on the issue,they sometimes favor government intervention and sometimes support individual freedom of choice. Centrists pride themselves on keeping an open mind, tend to oppose "political extremes," and emphasize what they describe as "practical" solutions to problems. Right (Conservative): Conservatives tend to favor economic freedom, but frequently support laws to restrict personal behavior that violates "traditional values." They oppose excessive government control of business, while endorsing government action to defend morality and the traditional family structure. Conservatives usually support a strong military, oppose bureaucracy and high taxes, favor a free-market economy, and endorse strong law enforcement. Statist (Big Government): Statists want government to have a great deal of power over the economy and individual behavior. They frequently doubt whether economic liberty and individual freedom are practical options in today's world. Statists tend to distrust the free market, support high taxes and centralized planning of the economy, oppose diverse lifestyles, and question the importance of civil liberties. posted by knn |

stinkz: But, what's to prevent your "good" government from turning into a bad one, the next election? Exactly, exactly. The very difference between theory and practice. Or in other words: I don't care how good communism is on paper. posted by knn |

stinkz: But, what's to prevent your "good" government from turning into a bad one, the next election? oh plenty of things really, but there will be name-calling here if I mention some of them. Of course there is always a difficulty in putting ideal governments into practise because human beings are so unpredictable; there's no reliable way to select 'good' people to lead the government. But does that mean we can't even speculate about what a favourite type of government would be like? posted by ralph_angelus |
