What international parties do you support on the other side of the spectrum?

[Keystone Phil]

In Italy, I would back the Veltroni coalition over Berlusconi's.

Just so you know, Veltroni hasn't led the coalition since 2008.

When I do, it's only because the party on "my" side of the spectrum is so morally bankrupt and corrupt that it is indefensible.  (New Democracy in Greece, for example.)

If it were broadened to include parties with views diametrically opposed to mine but generally on the same "side", I'm sure there's plenty.  Lega Nord jumps to mind.

Let me understand, did you say you would support the Lega ?

That's what he's probably saying. I think he has made some Pro Lega Nord comments in one of the Italian election threads. Looking at his Political Matrix scores, it's probably because of LN's stance on economic issues and federalism.

You guys really need to know Lega Nord better. If reading wikipedia's article doesn't make you vomit, it means that article isn't accurate.

I don't think people that aren't Italian or follow Italian politics can really understand it. I mean, I'm obviously for federalism but Lega Nord's version of federalism is different. I can understand people on the Right thinking that they like Lega Nord's economic stances but you dig deeper than just a Wikipedia page and find out that their policy is basically, "We hate the south. They're animals. They're North Africans. Cut them off entirely."

And why the hell does your precinct matter?

BRTD obviously suffers from some type of condition. He obsesses over the strangest details and thinks details important in his personal life are relevant everywhere.
