I guess I'll go with National Coalition

[Goldwater]

Green Trend, I guess.

[PJ]

Voted Republican. I realize these aren't the best choices because of Afghan laws regarding parties and Islam. This poll will run for 3 days btw.

I'm amazed that you know enough about these parties to give us a brief blurb on each of them... Unless you're just getting the Wiki articles on each one.

Anyway, National Coalition, I suppose.

Nah, I just used the wiki pages.

[H. Ross Peron]

Is there any party that isn't Islamist?

[Flake]

Green trend it is

[TNF]

Who wants to kick the United States out? Whoever that is, I'd back.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

In practice none of them; what a party does in government is more important than their platform, and both the country's president and entire parliament are Independents.

[Oak Hills]

Republican Party

[PJ]

Whose voting for National Islamic Movement?

Is there any party that isn't Islamist?

All parties are required to be Islamic because of Afghan law.

Who wants to kick the United States out? Whoever that is, I'd back.

I believe the Social Democrats and Islamic Party are taking a stance against them, but they're could be others I'm not aware of.

[MATTROSE94]

Green trend it is

[Redalgo]

Afghan Social Democratic Party - I am also a bit partial to Green Trend and Truth and Justice but really do not have enough information to make a wise decision.

[Hash]

Is there a moderate leftist but pro-gun and pro-civil unions party out there?

[PJ]

Is there a moderate leftist but pro-gun and pro-civil unions party out there?

I don't think any of the major parties support civil unions. Republican would probably be the closest to moderate leftist.

[PJ]

Bump

[Comrade Funk]

Who wants to kick the United States out? Whoever that is, I'd back.

They're called the Taliban.

[PJ]

Locking voting a couple hours early, but I think we can safely say Green Trend wins.
