Which political party is the preceding poster most ideologically similar to?

For a second, I thought this was going to be pathetically easy before I saw "the world".

Though I'm going to be unbelievably unimaginative, and say "Libertarian Party (USA).

[後援会]

Going off on a complete limb, Justicialist Party (Argentina).

And holy crap, those Dutch parties were obscure. No wikipedia pages...in English.

Man. All these Dutch parties. You know what Austin Powers said. Redid the matrix quiz with "THIS IS IMPORTANT", but I think the test really overstates my "social issues leftism". My very "left-wing" positions on immigration, multiculturalism, free speech, and crime push me down, while my "right-wing" positions on culture war issues (abortion, LGBT issues, guns, religion) push me up. Which is why I don't like most European parties. Perhaps a better moniker is socially liberal and culturally conservative?

Anyways, for Goldwater...



The Canadian Alliance!

Perhaps the Liberal Democrats (UK), but more of the Orange Book-type?

I find it tremendously interesting that I've turned into the apotheosis of the Republican Party. Though I do admit, I am quite comfortable in it.

Anyways, Wildrose Alliance (Alberta).

Sticking to Alberta...

Leftist Socialist Party of Japan (1948-1955)

lolno

The real stickler with the Asian Left is that the Asian Left is generally extremely comfortable with corporate power and influence. For one, the "Rightist Socialists" and eventually the Democratic Socialists, despite enthuastiatically endorsing a large welfare state, were largely supported by Japan's private sector unions, who have historically had a very good relationship with Japan's large corporations.

Even the more left-wing JSP was quite open towards cooperating with the right-wing Liberal Democrats after the 1960's, and they did so quite often. As such, they were not exactly unfriendly with Japan's corporations eithers. And this showed when the JSP actually took power. And when the bribery scandals that demolished LDP lawmakers often demolished several JSP lawmakers as well.

The only "anti-corporate" party that really has any presence in Japan is the Japanese Communist Party, which I felt was probably too extreme for you. So I picked the most right-wing party in modern Japanese history also hostile towards Japan's corporations.

Anyways for Scott, Democratic Party (USA). Yes, I know, very original.

Gosh, so confusing. All these random quotes and skips and what not.

Anyways, for wolfentoad, Democrats 66.

I'm not really up to date with the neo-fascist movements in Asia, but since your claim to fame is Pinochet fandom, I'd say UDI, though likely kind of frustrated that they don't highlight his greatness (killing commies!1/teh miracle of teh market!11) more often.

Honestly, do you people not read? I hate to sound like a broken record, but apparently not. This pathetic strawmen of you and your ilk is tiring and embarrassing, since you're clearly not responding to or reading anything that poke holes in your silly mutual hate-masturbation.
