Question to All International Forum Members

[Colin]

I wonder in which parties I'd be in?

baath?    no offense, man.

probably the partido de accion nacional down south.  up north, you're more the philosophical equivalent of a separatist Quebecois.  n'est ce-pas?

No, the Bloc Quebecois is actually quite a liberal party; it just also happens to want Quebec to separate from Canada as well.

I don't think that Canada has a party right enough for States.

How about me Gabu?

Canada is like Australia in that it's boring if you're right-wing.    You're basically automatically in the Conservative Party of Canada in that case, given that the Libertarian Party of Canada, while it exists, is basically a nonentity, and no other parties for anyone like that exist.

The Christian Heritage Party

Right, I suppose if you go into the really minor parties you can find one.

[Gustaf]

Well, well...for Sweden:

Colin, you'd be a member of Moderata Samplingspartiet (m), meaning Moderate Coalitionparty, which used to be the conservative party in Sweden, but which is now more libertarian.

M, you might be a member of Folkpartiet Liberalerna (fp), meaning Liberal People's Party, since most Swedish Jews are. They're pretty similar to your urban Democratic elite, but more right-winged. Might be (m) though.

Supersoulty would be Kristdemokraterna (kd), Christian Democrats, I suspect.

Philip, I dunno...an extremist in (m) probably.

StatesRights...Sverigedemokraterna (sd), Sweden Democrats, perhaps.

WMS. I honestly have no idea, but probably a swing voter. A Wild guess, maybe a conservative member of Socialdemokraterna, (s) social democrats.

Did I miss anyone? Sorry in that case...

[WMS]

A swing voter...just like in the U.S.! And maybe a conservative social democrat, if that isn't a contradiction in terms. Thanks for the information in any event!

I would ask one of the international members to "do me", but as Sen Bono once famously said:

Guess what? Nobody cares

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

What about me? heh.

[Peter]

What about me? heh.

Probably Respect in the UK.

[Platypus]

www.greens.org.au for you, BRTD.

[Gabu]

What about me? heh.

The Green Party, no contest.

EDIT: Or, if we're including minor parties, then you'd be in the Communist Party.

[minionofmidas]

Petra Kelly had a subscription for their newspaper.
I once had a job filing her newspaper archive (now at the Green Party archive).

Then don't.

Well, not more of a contradiction than a conservative Democrat in the US. My dad is a member of the conservative wing of (s). With your anti-elitism and all that, I suspect you would be in that wing originally, but perhaps switched to some other party. You might even be a Centerpartiet, Centre Party (c) man!

Interesting...details on (c), please?

Well they did finish in 6th place in the last election.

Yeah, with 0.3% of the vote.  Heck, the Marijuana Party nearly beat them.

[Platypus]

In New Zealand, there is a party about legalising marijuana that got something like 3%.

Here we have a party called HEMP-Help End Marijuana Persecution-that got over 3% in some very uhm...smelly seats

[Filuwaúrdjan]

(C) is traditionally an Agrarian party (most Scandinavian countries have them)

Thanks for the information, Al...I'm seeing some interesting patterns develop in the answers to my question.
