I didn't phrase that right. Different schools seem to have professors who are like-minded and mine turned out to be a Chicago-esque, more Milton Friedman, experience. That said, I did learn the virtues of deficit-spending in certain situations :icon_wink.
When you say Anti-Obamacare, do you mean to come off as for less regulation or for a more nationalized system? I agree with you on guns, abortion, and the military, and take the second stance on Obamacare. Elsewhere, I am a huge proponent of environmental restrictions, and I think it's time to trust bust some bitches. The system should favor small business and profit sharing, not giant companies paying legions of workers shit for their labors.
I would never think of voting republican. They are everything I am against. I have to vote for someone who supports all gay rights so I mainly vote democrat. I am a supporter of gun rights though.
I voted "Left", but you should have made it multiple choice as I'd have also selected "keeps changing". Not to say that I'm moving to the right in any way, not at all, (though I did lean rightward at one point in my life), but that my views and philosophies toward different issues are in a constant state of flux as I mature and gain greater understanding of the complex world we live in. That is to say, my increased comprehension of the nuances of different issues constantly forces me to re-evaluate my own opinions about them and about the world. I don't think it's a good idea to be a staunch ideologue of any particular ideology, where you let a certain ideological label dictate what you must believe, rather than let your own beliefs define you. I am still a committed idealist; my ideas about how best to achieve the ideal world I want to live in are just constantly subject change under my own scrutiny and re-evaluation, as I learn more about life, more about the world we live in, and more about the unique experiences of the many diverse human beings who call it home.
I'm center-left. If you asked me this question maybe around 7 years ago, I would probably be more moderate with a slight lean to the right.
I voted left, but that is a poor description. Anarcho-communist, libertarian socialist. Traces of eco-anarchist in there as well. So, about as far left and social as you can get.
My own status as one of the species has been questioned, but I'm afraid I'm opposed to state structures.
Centre to centre-left probably describes my views the best. I find my self agreeing with almost all of the Liberal Democrat policies; I just happen to be in a minority because of that! I find myself somewhat alienated by the Conservatives and Labour. I'm sceptical about voting Conservative because of the old fashioned contingent (those who opposed equal marriage and the Euro sceptics) and I'm put off voting Labour because I do believe to some degree that our financial problems (owing to the lack of restriction on banks and wasteful spending) are at least partly their fault and they seem to be constantly criticising the coalition whilst not producing many proper alternatives. Because of the way in which the Liberal Democrats haven't let me down (I don't really count what happens in the coalition as being their doing) and the fact that I agree with almost all of their policies, it's the way to go for me.
This seems to be a very "American" take on politics, What is 'Right' and 'Left' here is VERY different from the same spectrum in America, And the issues taken on by either side is also different. Both political parties in the country here are considered 'Socialist', So I'd be hard pressed to say I'm 'Right' by any chance, More center, Socially liberal, Economically more conservative(Here though, that means Govt. control on the economy(Main industries such as Electricity and Transport). Short Story? I clicked 'Center'
I'm a far left-winger. Although I'm still a left-winger, my political stances slightly change once in a while, like immigration (going right), gun rights (going further left), and death penalty (going left). Unlike what stereotypes portray me as, I don't mind right wing people. I try to be as open-minded as possible about right-wing policies. The only right-wingers I hate are the tea party right wingers. Moderate right wingers even hate them.
