Found your own political party

The Highwayman

If you founded your own political party what would you call it?

What would your politics be?

Hard left / Center Left / Centrist / Center Right / Right Wing?

Mine

The Crime & Punishment Party (CPP)

Center Right

Celly Smunt

the peoples party

centre left

rockmongrel

Peace and Liberty

Socially and economically extremely liberal, with a strong police force.

Ordinary man

If my party wanted to bring back the death penalty and have a mass cull of scumbags, would that be left or right?

Links234

Links is German for left btw.

I'd have full marriage rights for LGBT people, full adoption rights and full and equal parental rights for both parents

Socially left, economically right. So a PD

Superbus

The 'Founded on Ideals rather than Irrelevant Tribalism' Party.*

FOIRTIT Party.

Ireland needs a more left wing approach to social issues & more entrepenural push towards internationally traded goods & services, so I would have a socialist party, built on the priciples of hard work & increased global economic trading, called "The Socialist Hardworking Irish Trading Party", also known as The S.H.I.T. Party.

Biggins

I'd call it Unitedpeople.ie

FearDark

Too many S.H.I.T. parties already imo.

If you don't mind me making a quick suggestion.
Quick glance at your forum but didn't read anything yet

The dark grey and orange is very hard on the eyes, way too much of a contrast.
Four menu options in the top left and it's very difficult to read. Yellow on a yellow and grey background

A person will judge something new in seconds, this is what I did.

Change the colours, even copy light blue and dark blue on boards.

Your forum is very hard on the eyes, sorry
But good luck with your venture, one of the few who acts against the many who sits backs and talks

United people bounded together by a common idea be it political, charitable, single or multi goal destination/task.

tomasocarthaigh

Im organising a pressure group / party PROLETARIAT, which is left wing, but pro life.

Secular, but with respect for the princliples of common decency held by all faiths.

Closest label would be Chritian Communism / Socialism

(Site needs updating... last was done just before we lost the Lisbon referendum!!!)

Celly Smunt

Mine would be the "Lets be more like Switzerland or Norway" party.

Gombeens would be publicly hanged - as a lesson to other gombeens. Failing that, gombeens should be put on a one way ticket to another country that we want to screw up.

And THEN we could figure out the left/right divide.

I AM THE SUPREME LEADER, just not many people know it yet...

as a libertarian friend of mine once said - "you can have a communist commune in a libertarian country, but you CANT have a libertarian commune in a communist country"

think about it. he's bang on isnt he?

AckwelFoley

Centrist, if i was to be oushed wither way, id rather fall to the right of the divide than the left.

Anyhow, i would call my Political party NDP -The national democratic party

B0X

Tyranny In The Service Of Really Greedy Two-Faced Ogres.

TITSORGTFO for short, it'd basically be like Finna Fáil.

The_Minister

Liberal party.

If you aren't hurting anyone, then go for it.

Drug legalisation among (many, many) other things.

ArphaRima

I would say there are a few already in there.

What better place to sample a section of Irish political opinion?

Superbus

The Partay Party.

Bringing the power of parties to your daily life.

The Agogo

If I set up my own party, it'd be the only party. So what's the point in naming it?

Whoops that site doesn't exist... obviously struggling to pay their expenses :P

kraggy

These are my beliefs

1. Cut the dole by 20% now. 40% for those on it more than 5 years.
Anymore, the dole will decrease gradually the longer you are on it.

2. Higher taxes for the well off.

3. Close the borders to non-Eu citizens NOW.

4. Legalise assisted-suicide
Have a study into possible legalisation of euthanasia
Legalise marijuana (with very specific parameters including:

limited strength, grown by the state, sold by the state.

5. Full Marrigage rights for gay people NOW.

6. Replace prison punishment for not paying tv license, fines etc with community service.

7. Build more prisons and crack down on scumbag element. Zero tolerance to scummy behaviour.

8. Total review of sentencing. Even look at mandatory sentencing. Increase the parameters that judges can sentence. i.e. more years for all crimes. Killing someone and getting out after 2 years simply cannot happent anymore. Get rid of remmision. Whole sentence should be served. Why get out early for doing what they should be doing anyway? i.e behaving.

9. Make parents responsible for actions of children. Financially of course. Fine for parents whose kids are found drinking, causing trouble etc.

10. More severe penalties for animal abuse.



What would I be given the above beliefs?

Nope - you just linked to the wrong site

And once a particular person sorts out their personal life, the site will have a lot more detail.

piby

I think I'd call it New Order just so I can play Blue Monday and True Faith on the campaign trail while also sounding both modern and Imperial

I think it would be centre left to very left but with certain conservative elements.

Very left with regards environment (too much of the once Emerald Isle is now a concrete jungle ), health care, education, care for the elderly, legalisation of marijuana, seriously up the investment in science, full rights for LGBT couples, legalisation of euthanasia amd more besides.

Very right in terms of crime and punishment but on a sliding scale i.e. community service for minor offences through to life, and I mean life with no facilities, for murder with intent. The justice system would need to be reformed radically.

Probably somewhere in the centre economically.

You could combine the both sides of the divide

National for the right, Socialist for the left and hey presto you have National Socialist:) Hey wait didn't someone have a party with that name before?
