What is your political inclination?

edit - btw, you are allowed to tick more than one option, so you could make a cocktail of your own political inclination!

I am not entirely sure. Usually I find myself supporting the social democrats on the issues of social welfare, open borders, and easy access to education.

However, I usually am also a advocate of expanding airports, harbors, the road network and other infrastructure related projects, out of the motivation that it does benefit to exchange a bit of environmental welfare for economic growth. I suppose that puts me a bit more into direction of the right wing parties.

So, basically, it depends per issue to which party I feel myself related to.

Sheesh, political inclination is a tough thing when it comes to Europe -- so many choices!

I voted for liberal democrat party, because we have one with that name in my country, and I usually agree with what they say and do, and vote for them. I am not a member of any party though.

Well, I am normally somewher between social democrats and... well, I think they are also called the "greens" in English? Those guys who want to preserve nature and such?

Well, apart from that, I only vote for those that have good ideas (from my POV). But I cannot count myself to one particular political group.

I think i would have said I had an idea a few years ago, but now.....
You coudl say the european countries are older, or more mature. Or more liberal. Or else just more political, so more splinter groups form into parties. Anyone else got some suggestions.

I'm a liberal
sometimes the poeple are too uneducated or brainwashed to do the right choice
so to be fair I don't say I'm a liberal democrat

Sciforum party will probably form an alliance with the liberal democrats and make the communist voice of the people powerless.

damn those greedy politicians.
