    Abortion: Legal up to a certain point in pregnancy, ultimately it's their baby their choice
    War in Iraq: Against
    Marijuana: Legalised for over 18s, heavily taxed

    UN: good idea, helps organise aid and stuff...was never gonna work at regulating what countries do
    NATO: Needs to change to combat current threats.
    EU: UK needs to get out before it is too late, the euro was a very bad idea. No idea why they are trying to tell governments what to do.

    Arab Spring: Same as above, dictators need to be toppled once they get out of hand and loose popular support
    Israeli Palestinian conflict: Israel, considering it is one of the only countries in the middle east with stability. Can't the Palestinians move somewhere else?
    China: Government won't last.

    Syrian Conflict: We helped Libya why not Syria...Asad is as bad as Gaddafi.
    Iran: Theocratic countries never work.

    Economic Left/Right: 6.00

    Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Center right
    Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): No
    Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: No
    Religion: Adventist

    Abortion: I personally don't support it, but should the government intervene? I haven't decided.
    War in Iraq: Waist of money and resources. Pointless, "endless" war.
    Marijuana: Really should be legalized, especially for medical reasons.
    Firearms: Totally no restrictions; maybe license or something. Citizens have a right to defend themselves.
    Gay Marriage: Whatever, it's their life. Who am I to tell them how to live it; same for everyone else.
    Gay adoption: "Poor kid" is all that comes from my bias. But seriously, again, whatever.
    Religion in schools: Is good, but honestly in schools, try to keep away from heavy bias.
    Death penalty: Not really against it. Refraining from the death penalty doesn't make a society more civilized.
    Taxes: Taxes are of course necessary. I'm not going to get into tax rates and stuff, but I believe that sales tax is the best and most efficient tax. Income tax discourages earning an income while sales tax discourages spending. And also, some people especially the rich can avoid income tax.
    UN: It doesn't work
    Immigration: Why not? It's perfectly fine. Not sure what to say for the process of acquiring citizenship.
    Global Warming: It's a joke, a distraction, and it's not caused by humans. The earth was much warmer a thousand years ago, during the viking age specifically.
    United States: Love the American Dream. Love what the US stood for. The very few societies that take up this ridiculously prosperous and efficient form of government always become super powerhouses. It's a shame this country has been bogged down by corruption and greed. It will only get worse, probably, and will all come to an end eventually. It makes me sad, it's like the collapse of Rome all over again (not that the US dwarfed the western world to the extent that Rome did, but still).

    Fascism/Nazism: Disgusting anti-freedom ideology.

    UN: United Abominations 'And the UN is where our so called friends get to stab us in the back'

    Abortion: Opposed, except in case of rape, fatal birth defects like anancephaly or life-threatening risks to the mother. Personal convenience isn't and will never be a satisfactory reason to end a human life in my books.
    War in Afghanistan: Pro 110%.
    War in Iraq: Pro; Bush should've used a straight-up humanitarian justification rather than hiding behind the WMD claims.
    Marijuana: Treat it like alcohol; legalize it, then tax it. Everyone wins except the drug dealers.
    Firearms: 2nd Amendment baby.
    Gay Marriage: The government should allow civil unions, churches can decide whether or not to marry gay couples themselves. The state shouldn't concern itself with what goes on in the people's bedrooms.
    Gay adoption: For, as long as the couple are proven to be competent parents.
    Religion in schools: Teach about all religions, don't promote one over the others.
    Death penalty: For, in extreme cases that have resisted rehabilitation. No point, economically or otherwise, in keeping irredeemable monsters alive.

    Euthanasia: If someone is suffering from an excruciating, incurable condition and all treatments have failed, and they themselves want to go through with it...yes.
    Immigration: For, though immigrants should integrate into society.
    Taxation: Keep lower and middle-class taxes low, but jack up taxes on the extremely wealthy; the strongest shoulders should bear the heaviest loads, after all. I don't hate the rich or any such ridiculous nonsense, but it makes far more sense that a man making $10,000 be taxed 5 or 10% ($500-1,000) while someone making $1,000,000 be taxed at 70-80% ($700-800k); he can soak it up and still live surrounded by luxuries the former man could only dream of, while still injecting more money into the government treasury. A flatter income distribution is ideal for promoting consumer intake of products, to boot.
    The Military: Let's face it, our defense spending is far too high.

    Obama: Pro. He isn't ideal but he remain the lesser evil compared to the Republicans of today, who have proven willing to flush the world economy down the toilet for political points.
    UN: Sometimes good, sometimes...not so much.
    USA: A great country, but definitely not perfect, and I have no problem with pointing out the problems here. After all, a true patriot must be able to point out and criticize his country's flaws so they can be fixed, right?
    EU: I'm not European, and I have no real opinion on it anyway.
    Israel/Palestine: A two-state solution is in order.
    Global Warming/Environmental Regulation: While I don't think it's as serious as some others do, I agree it's an actual problem.
    Genetically Modified crops: For, as long as they remain safe.
    Animal Rights: For. There's no excuse for being a sadist towards animals without reason.
    Stem Cell Research: Absolutely for, as long as embryonic stem cells aren't involved.

    Political Compass Result:
    Economic Left/Right: -7.00 (lol WTF)
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.03
    Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Right
    Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Social conservative/nationalist. Don't agree with the test at all. I am conservative without idealizing the free market. The test is too americanized.
    Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: Nay.
    Religion: Protestant

    Abortion: No, OK in case of rape or mother's life being endangered. Not sure about legislation against it, however if mother's life or rape not involved, it shouldn't be officially supported by the state.
    War in Afghanistan: For.
    War in Iraq: Against.
    Marijuana: Against.
    Firearms: Allowed under license and if needed for hunting, sports, law enforcement/military or in extreme cases self defense.
    Gay Marriage: For civil unions - marriage is for man and woman.
    Gay adoption: Absolutely against. Completely unacceptable from a developmental psychological point of view - other opinions are based from ignorance or pure speculation quite simply .
    Religion in schools: All religions represented with the state religion recieving a tiny bit more focus.
    Death penalty: For in cases of overwhelming evidence and extreme crimes. Especially relevant for repeat offenders of extremely violent crime. Otherwise a proponent of work camps and far longer prison sentences for violent crime in Sweden. Would like to see much harsher environs for convicts here as well. No more porn for you mr. pedo.

    Euthanasia: No. Okay to shut down life support.
    Immigration: Assimilation and integration then yes.
    Taxation: High taxes are good, especially for the rich part of society. As long as they work towards public health care, law enforcement and military.
    The Military: Sweden needs a very strong army to remain independent. In this example it's essential that Sweden starts pooling large amounts of resources into an armed force that can protect it's large territory and its interests abroad. Sweden is a small country that needs to be prepared for security challenges in its sphere of influence. Deterrence is a relevant term here.

    UN: Ineffecient but essential.
    USA: Positive but guarded towards it's embrace of capitalism.
    EU: An asset and a threat - the cooperation is essential to the well being of Europe, but we shouldn't proceed further than that.
    Russia: One of the greater threats to the free world - a complicated matter. Should be monitored carefully by NATO and the West.
    Iran: Heavy embargo, impose as large sanctions as possible without invoking the wrath of the East.
    Israel/Palestine: Israel.
    Global Warming/Environmental Regulation: Too hyped but may constitute a threat. There are other environmental threats that are more acute which are passing under the radar because of global warming.
    Genetically Modified crops: Against.
    Animal Rights: Don't want my food to suffer in vain guys.
    Stem Cell Research: For as long as embryonic stem cells are not involved. No one has the right to parasitize on another human life like in the case of embryonic stem cell treatment.

    Tbh, socially conservative and for a centralized, strong government. This however shouldn't place me in the extreme left part of things. I don't agree with american conservatism and its association with egocentered capitalism.

    Ha! I knew Gandhi was was a right-winged authoritarian.



    Two-dimensional politics ftw. Guess that's why they included just one question about the environment, zero about nature, and 100000 about sex.

    DOB: April, 1991
    Country of Residence: United Kingdom
    Nationality: Welsh
    Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right: -6.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.64
    Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Left
    Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Civic nationalist and social democrat
    Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: Plaid Cymru
    Religion: Agnostic atheist

    Abortion: Legal up until ~20 weeks. I'm generally uneasy with the whole topic though.
    War in Afghanistan: For the initial intervention; against the nation-building cluster thereafter.
    War in Iraq: Firmly against. Very pleased that it's over, for most of us at least.
    Marijuana: Full legalization.
    Firearms: For strict regulation.
    Gay Marriage: For.
    Gay adoption: For.
    Religion in schools: Kids should be taught about religion, but not a religion. Secularism is at its most important in the classroom. Absolutely against pseudoreligious assemblies.
    Death penalty: Against.

    UN: Essential but seems a bit impotent.
    EU: Pro-EU, but skeptical about its apparent disregard for democracy in recent years and keen to avoid a US of E scenario.
    Israel / Palestine: For a two state solution on 1967 borders. In more broad terms, though, I'm for both Israelis and Palestinians shutting the up and learning to live with each other.
    USA: In all honesty, even after the past 10 years, the US is still a force for good in the world. Its policy of backing Israel to the hilt despite everything, however, is doing harm. Needs to let its principles get in the way of political expediency a bit more.
    Global Warming/Environmental Regulation: Very likely underhyped. Needs serious action.
    Genetically Modified crops: For. GM crops will be essential in feeding an overpopulated planet.
    Animal Rights: Obviously for. Free range > Battery farmed and all that.
    Stem Cell Research: For.
