Sounds interesting. Here you have a choice between a part based around one ethnicity that contests special seats, a splinter party from that (one MP), a mostly Christian party with one MP, a more right wing option with only one (ex-national) MP, the Greens and NZ First (who are weird). They are the minor parties. The two big parties essentially steal each others policies and occasionally think of something new.

Here in the Netherlands you have the choice between liberal conservatives, conservative liberals, plain conservatives, theocrat fucktards, and socialists.


An easy choice. If the socialists are not Stalinist, I'd give my vote to them.

In agreement pretty much there (though I don't know about the Gallagher thing). What's the party for the liberal socialist like me and you?

I'm impressed at the way you avoid answering the questions directly, you could be just like the politicians many Americans hold in such high esteem.

I have answered the questions. Simply because they're the sort of vapid 'questions' that give leftism a bad name does not invalidate my answers.

Do what you can for your homeland. Be a villain in their eyes if it means you're doing what's right. Don't give up, and don't run away from what's wrong with your country. People seem obsessed with results more often than they should; the CPUSA are keeping alive a dream that's died in the hearts of a lot of people. It's not a dream I like, because it isn't mine, and that doesn't make a difference in how much I appreciate what crazy fringe parties do.
Economic Left/Right: 2.74
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.31
The Democratic States of Ursalia (DSU) is the result of a patriotic Canadian revolution, holding dear the tenets of individual freedoms and civil liberties. The new government has put a strong focus on increasing military spending while also disassociating The DSU from foreign conflicts, as well as liberating many elements of bureaucracy from the past government such as restrictions on the ownership of firearms and the purchase of drugs and alcohol.

But really, I don't see a reason for people under 65 or over 12 to move to the Gold Coast.

Kewl. I'm planning to visit there once school's done. Go to the old stomping grounds in Limerick, Thurles and County Tyrone. How is it over there at the moment?

As I said, in a movement as large as OWS, with interactions with the police as often as they are due to the persistent law-breaking OWS brings with them, some slip ups are to be expected.

You can't learn Dutch. It's impossible to do so. Dutch has no grammar, it just has exceptions to its grammatical rules, and exceptions to those exceptions.
