Right-Wing or Left-Wing: What do your identify yourself with?

**Lord Tomyris** · May 03, 2009, 06:24 PM

Now I know we have the Political Compass thread up-and-running, but this is a poll to see what people see themselves as in the broadest possible terms, even if on closer examination they might actually not be! It's all about one's perception of oneself- whether you 'feel' you are left-wing or right-wing, whether in economic or social terms!

Is their supposed to be a poll?

I don't identify with anything, if it benefits me I vote for them.

This. If anything, I'm a Whig.

But, since most of my ideas would be generalised as "left wing" (federalism, constitutionalism, liberalism), I'll vote "centre left" for the purposes of the poll. Even though some of my views would be seen as "right wing" (monarchism, gun rights, regionalism), and some others would be seen as "far left" (socialism, welfarsm, environmentalism).

In Europe I guess I would be left of center or maybe even *gasp* left wing. In some places in the US I would be a commie. Go figure.

Right-Wing. I was Left-Wing at one time but as I get ~~wiser~~ older I slide to the ~~wright~~ right.

See what I did there? Twice.

Lol Conservative probably then you are right-of-centre as am I

I'm a communist, so very left wing.

Shouldn't this be in the academy? as its not current events?

My bad, I'm sure a mod will soon work their magic.

"Very Left Wing" I guess. I see myself as a bit liberal, but because I don't affiliate with a party it's difficult to see where I exactly stand. Compared to the rest of the U.S., and largely the northern world, I am very left wing. You would probably call me a communist.

**IrishHitman** · May 03, 2009, 06:37 PM

Left of Centre.

**Justinian** · May 03, 2009, 07:09 PM

Moved to the Academy.

I consider myself left wing though I think in Europe I would be considered more left-of-center.

**Stavroforos** · May 03, 2009, 07:11 PM

Body, neither wing.

**Problem Sleuth** · May 03, 2009, 07:12 PM

My views are a hybrid of left-wing and right-wing views in both social and economic spheres. Center.

**Applesmack** · May 03, 2009, 07:15 PM

I'm a Nazi, so very right-wing

**Barry Goldwater** · May 03, 2009, 07:20 PM

Right-wing.

**The spartan** · May 03, 2009, 07:32 PM

Center-of-left wing.

**BNS** · May 03, 2009, 07:40 PM

I find this a narrow way to look at politics. I have views of both the far left and right. I belong to the traditional far left where as today it's inaccurately described as the far right.
