For conservatives and leftwingers- if you had a choice between a libertarian and a communitarian(communitarians are socially conservative but economically leftwing) which would you choose.

The communitarian would be for bailing out too big to fails and would support the federal reserve.

On social issues they favour total ban of abortion, stem cell research, prostitution and pornography. They advocate heavy curbing of immigration, state endorsement of Christianity(or Islam/Buddhism etc. for those in non-Western countries) and they oppose gay rights.

I deliberately left out foreign policy.

Rockingham, you can't make a total blanket statement about communitarians like that. There isn't nearly a cohesive enough movement to assign predilections like that. That's a rather extreme example you used.
That's the point. Their are moderate Libertarians,  but they're typically extreme. So to prevent the communitarian from dominating solely due to being more moderate, I made him extreme as well.

I'm surprised, I expected the conservatives to be more economy focused(ie voting for the libertarian) and liberals to be more socially focused(ie. voting for libertarian)... given the stereotypes about young intellectual Republicans being socially liberal and young intellectual Democrats being latte liberals.

But the poll shows the exact opposite.

But the thread creator is an Aussie and so has no such excuse.
No excuse for what?
