    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

    Peace and Liberty

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

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

    Just what Ireland needs right now - a political party with a narrow, right wing agenda.

    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.

    Sounds more like a nationalist website than a political party.

    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.

    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

    http://www.celtichosting.com/proletariat

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

    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.

    its impossible to have that.


    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?

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

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