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).

From what little I know of him, Fianna Fáil (Ireland) as a guess.

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...

Since there isn't that much difference among them, the Green Party of England and Wales maybe?

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

Nah, they're too isolationist when it comes to foreign policy.

koenkai: UK Conservatives, maybe?

There is no other party in the world, as I'm aware of, that mixes your strong neo-con positions with solid right wing economic stances. I could have said the UK Conservative Party, although you may find the current leadership too moderate.

By default, that leaves the Republican Party.
