if you could create your own political party?

[Gustaf]

Hm. My party would have sensibility and pragmatism, without losing sight of fundamental values.

Foreign policy: moderately hawkish

Welfare: defend the status quo, basically.

Social Security: At least partial privatization

Gun Control: tighten it some

Gay marriages: get government out of it

Abortion: right to abortion uptil the time when the fetus can be saved.

Empowerment: what Bullmoose said.

Environment: Excercise more caution, we need to take care of the Earth we live on.

Death penalty: abolish in peace time

Education: Allow voucher schools

Budget deficit: a balanced budget should be the goal, at least in stable times. However, during crises a high deficit is a lot better than many of the alternatives.

Josh, how is the UN too liberal? Most are authoritarian fascists of some kind.

And how would a conservative UN be determined? Would you throw out countries if they elected left-winged governments? What if the Democrats won in the US, would you leave?

No most are liberals.  Most countries in the UN cosvn. party is our democrat party. I think.

Eh...most don't really have parties, since most aren't democracies. The UN concerns itself mostly with foreign policy, and with any definition of liberal v conservative I can think of there, the US is one of the most liberal countries in the world. Not as liberal as Sweden, Holland or Japan, but probably more so than France and definitely more so than China, Russia or any other non-democracies.
