Health care: Should be completely privatized.
Abortion: Should be illegal.
LGBT rights: They should be able to do whatever they want, except get married.
Secular state: No. Christian morals are a good basis for a country's laws. Besides, if your government's going to cater to someone, it might as well be a majority (Christians) and not a minority (atheists).
Israel/Palestine case: In favor of Israel. If you know history, you'll know that the Jews were there first.
War in Iraq: For. It's protecting the country.
War on Terror: See above.
Sudan: Feel sorry for the people, hate the government. We should get rid of the current government and allow the people to elect one.
Iran: Same as above.
Cuba: Airlift the people and nuke the whole place.
Political orientation: Libertarian
Economic orientation: Laissez-faire capitalist
Right to keep and bear arms: For
Marijuana decriminalization: Against
Youth suffrage: Against, they'll just vote for whoever their parents tell them
Animal rights: Against
Stance on feminism: Um... I'm for women's rights, but I'm not a feminist and I don't like those feminazi types...
Capital punishment: For
Preferable education system: Private. I know from experience that public school is a waste of time and money.
Immigration: For, so long as they pay their taxes.

Obama/McCain: Neither. Obama's a socialist and McCain's a centrist.
Komorowski/Kaczynski: Kaczynski

Health care: For.
Abortion: Sort of mostly against probably maybe.
LGBT rights: Storm in a teacup.
Secular state: Not really bothered, might as well keep it the way it is.
Israel/Palestine case: If Israel wants to create its empire it can do it on its own, not with our help.
War in Iraq: Stupid from the start.
War on Terror: Dumb idea that attempts to increase American influence and fails miserably.

Health care: Should be free for all including insurance coverage for dentistry, optometry and prescription drugs. Major hospitals should be publicly owned but I'm OK with private doctors.
Abortion: Should be legal up until about 20 weeks- should be a part of the government's insurance coverage.
LGBT rights: Gay marriage should be legal.
Secular state: Any state that is not officially secular is immediately suspect and should not be traded with.
Israel/Palestine case: I favour a two-state solution. It's too late to tell Israel it has no right to exist, but it should allow Palestine sovereignty as well.
War in Iraq: Opposed primarily for the way it's being fought and the motives behind the fighting. If it was a UN-approved mission to restore democracy, I wouldn't have a problem with it.
War on Terror: The War on Terror is a misnomer, but a War on Middle-Eastern theocracies needs to be fought at some point.
Sudan: Can't say I know much about the situation there, but I do feel an international peace-keeping operation is in order in Darfur.
Iran: Is most likely developing nukes and the current approach of the UN is appropriate although without real cooperation from China and Russia, sanctions are unlikely to work. This is not to mention Brazil and Turkey. Ideally, both Israel and Iran should come clean on their nuclear programs and if they don't further sanctions should be implemented against both.
Cuba: Embargo is doing nothing to stop human rights abuses; it's a case of a large country brutally sodomising a small one. No, my opinion of Castro is not favourable, but maybe if we traded with them they'd be more willing to open up a real dialogue.
Political orientation: Libertarian
Economic orientation: Far-left; socialism
Right to keep and bear arms: I support the right to bear arms but subject to reasonable limitations. That is, an adult should be allowed to own guns for whatever reason as long as they have proved they can be responsible about it. Therefore, increase gun registration, education etc. but allow ownership to those who can pass certain tests. I also support the right to carry concealed weapons.
Marijuana decriminalization: Marijuana should be completely legal for adults.
Youth suffrage: Meh; 18 seems like a decent age. Maybe even a little too young in some cases. This is coming from a 17-year-old. The solution is education, not moving the age up or down.
Animal rights: I really couldn't give two shits about animals, to be honest. Yes, people should be punished for excessive animal cruelty, but no way should any animal have rights even comparable to humans.
Stance on feminism: Gotten a bit overboard with the whole political correctness/affirmative action thing, but it's been a positive force, mostly. And I don't think it's obsolete, especially considering women's rights in the middle east.
Capital punishment: I have no major moral objection to it. If we claim the right to imprison people for life then let's not pretend killing them is any crueler. My objection is that innocent people could be convicted, though I would support it for certain crimes (mass/serial murder) and if the evidence is strong enough. Mostly, I tend to believe in decentralised power, so leaving it up to states/provinces seems like a sound idea.
Preferable education system: Public and secular. My ideal system of education would be controlled locally by parents, teachers, students and community volunteers but with a national (completely ideally, a global) standard that all schools have to meet.
Immigration: Immigration is a good thing and as an internationalist I believe in complete freedom of movement. Anyways, the only reason people in third world countries want to leave for the industrial ones is because the latter have been shitting onto the former from up high for many decades. The only time illegal immigration is actually troublesome is if they're evading taxes. Otherwise, immigrants- even the "illegal" ones- should just be encouraged to get jobs rather than to leave. I find this whole notion of "our" jobs absurd anyway.

Obama/McCain: Obama
Komorowski/Kaczynski: Really don't know much about either of them.
Favorite senator: errr, Bernie Sanders, I guess
Favorite Member of congress: Pete Stark if he's still there
Favorite US President: FDR
Labour/Tories/LibDems/BNP & UKIP: Out of those, LibDems though I'd probably vote Green if I were British.
Favorite British MP: I'm not British (or American for that matter) so I can't say I know very many MPs. George Galloway was kind of good in his criticism of American foreign policy, but he acted like a complete douchebag and he was a Hamas supporter. Ed Balls seems like a decent guy.
Which country's politics is nearest your ideals? At the risk of sounding cliche, probably Sweden. Maybe France is closer, though.

Abortion: Up to the woman in question, not me.
LGBT rights: They're people too -- they deserve the same rights as everyone else. I'm fore same sex marriage on the basis of gender equality.
Secular state: Better then a religious state, at least.
Israel/Palestine case: Ideally a single secular and democratic country encompassing the entire area, otherwise just use however many countries it takes. Israel should definitely stop expanding and start dismantling the settlements, though.
War in Iraq: Oppose it.
War on Terror: Ditto.
Sudan: Don't know enough about the situation there to say.
Iran: Don't much like it as a country, however invading it would just be stupid. I hope for a change of government to something more liberal, though.
Cuba: See above.
Political orientation: Libertarian/anarchist.
Economic orientation: Communist.
Right to keep and bear arms: Should probably exist, although within reason.
Marijuana decriminalization: Marijuana should be treated like any other drug -- legal when it doesn't harm others without their consent.
Youth suffrage: Undecided. 18 at the latest, possibly with extensions to earlier based on knowledge of and interest in the political system.
Animal rights: Support for animals which we can reasonably believe are sentient.
Stance on feminism: Support fully.
Capital punishment: Oppose.
Preferable education system: Fully public and free.
Immigration: Ideally unrestricted.

Obama/McCain: Obama is the better of the two, however I disagree with both of them a fair bit.
Komorowski/Kaczynski: Don't know who they are...
Favorite senator: Don't know.
Favorite Member of congress: Ditto.
Favorite US President: Ditto ditto.
Labour/Tories/LibDems/BNP & UKIP: Greens, followed by Lib Dems.
Favorite British MP: Vince Cable is pretty cool.
Which country's politics is nearest your ideals? Dunno. Not sure that there are any particularly near them.

Health care: Private, Government Pays for Impoverished through Insurance Stipends
Abortion: Only in the case of Rape or the Mother's Life being in Danger, I support fetal rights

Secular state: Secular is Better, as it stands it doesn't matter to me so long as they do not legislate based on moral issues, only people's rights should be protected not their sensibilities
Israel/Palestine case: Israel, though they should lighten up, their embargos are doing more to cause violence then they will ever solve
War in Iraq: Full Withdrawal, redeploy some to Afghanistan at least until it is stable enough to pull out there

Sudan: End the genocide, I'm rarely for military intervention in this case the cost of human lives is far more then the cost of intervening

Animal rights: I dabble in compassion, for the most part walking food, ought to be treated better, but walking hamburgers
Stance on feminism: Women should be treated equally, ideally however, every family would be single income (regardless of which gendered partner makes up the home)
Capital punishment: Depending on the accuracy of the Justice System, for reoffenders and serial killers only
