(too many enviro questions in the Irish poll methinks)

Irish:
#1 Green Party
#2 Labour
#3 Fine Gael
#4 Sinn Fein (which is odd since I posted "hand in your arms" etc)
#5 Fianna Fail
#6 Progressive Democrats

(Irish one may well be a complete red herring given that every party seems to change views in case the wind happens to change. Can I vote in the UK elections instead Mommy?)

UK:
#1 Liberal Democrats
#2 Green Party
#3 Plaid Cymru
#4 Scottish National Party
#5 Labour
#6 Conservatives

Ah now that's better then. A poll that reflects the way I'd actually vote

European:
You are a social liberal. Like all liberals, you believe in individual freedom as a central objective - but you believe that lack of economic opportunity, education, healthcare etc. can be just as damaging to liberty as can an oppressive state. As a result, social liberals are generally the most outspoken defenders of human rights and civil liberties, and combine this with support for a mixed economy, with an enabling state providing public services to ensure that people's social rights as well as their civil liberties are upheld.

(snipped the rest but in order they are: 2 - social democrat, 3 - ecologist or green, 4 - market liberal, 5 - Third Way, 6 - Third Way, 7 - anarcho-capitalist, 8 - communist, 9 - anarcho-communist, 10 - Christian democrat, 11 - libertarian conservative, 12 - fascist)


Well at least they got one of them semi-right (and the UK one probably 80% right, I'd switch 3 and 4)). Do I get to (ignoring my #4 in the Euro poll) rant about Milton Friedman and the damage he's done with his little army of monetarists and pure libertarians now?:)

You are a classical socialist, believing in equality of outcome as a principle. This might mean greater equality (e.g. Old Labour), or as close to absolute equality as possible. However, you will believe in an extensive public sector, covering not just public services (transport, healthcare etc.) but probably also the 'commanding heights' of industry (e.g. iron and steel). Your views on personal morality will be reasonably tolerant, in general, but there is considerable variation within this political group.

didn't expect that

mike65

..just did the European Ideologies
test and now I'm confused...

You are a social democrat. Like other socialists, you believe in a more economically equal society - but you have jettisoned any belief in the idea of the planned economy. You believe in a mixed economy, where the state provides certain key services and where the productivity of the market is harnessed for the good of society as a whole. Many social democrats are hard to distinguish from social liberals, and they share a tolerant social outlook.

Ah, the last bits the important bit.

my irish results are identical to discostu. gwan stu!
They also reflect my actualy political beliefs, except for the greens, which would be lower, cos they're a bunch of waffling dogooders with no concept of how the world works

Not much of a difference really. "Social democrats" place a little more emphasis towards socialism than "liberal democrats" supposedly. Meanwhile the liberal democrats place more emphasis on civil liberties and so on. No idea what you call someone who manages to place emphasis on both (not being mutually exclusive and all that) - a liberal socialist? (though that sounds like girls people get to sleep with at college by pretending to be oh so concerned about "stuff")

Very surprised that FF only got #5, but other than that they seem about right. My parents would probably be ashamed if they saw these results!

I'm not suprised at my outcome, an enviro-leftie That was an excellent poll Daveirl, although the Irish one seems slightly skewed towards Sinn Fein.

I'm surprised to see FF so high up but then there wasnt a question on your attitudes to corruption. Glad to see they got the last one perfectly right.........and the top 2 kinda right.....although they alternate depending on my mood.

#1 : You are a classical socialist, believing in equality of outcome as a principle. This might mean greater equality (e.g. Old Labour), or as close to absolute equality as possible.

#2 : Communist (no I'm not!! hhe......... just feel its unworkable and infringes on personal rights.......mixed economy rules:) )

#3 : Social Democrat (I like the sound of this one, I think its explained briefly in a previous post, )

I felt the English one would be irrelevant to me.......

I think the results of Manachs
results show these polls are "just a bit of fun"

The PDs are top of the Irish list.
The Greens turn up 3rd on his UK list.
and this makes facisim his forth choice
in a European context...!

I would never vote for a PD & I would vote labour before voting for a party like Sinn Fein.

In the North - I'd vote for the SDLP. (no contest)
