Go for it! I do think they need some new energy from outside. I am contemplating to do the same! :slight_smile:

The result so far doesn’t surprise me much.

Summary

It’s 88% for Green Social Democratic out of 16 votes at the time I voted. Being the only option in the spectrum mentioning Green, it’s clear as pie this one will stick out.

[Is there a way to hide “spoilers” on this forum? I would like to give people the chance to vote for themselves before me telling what percentages I’ve seen].

Please. It’s LGBTQQIP2SAA. Don’t be whatever-phobic :wink:
( Urban Dictionary: LGBTQQIP2SAA )

(Btw this is getting ridiculous. We need a term that is not an abbreviation of all Genders, since there are too many to remember…)

I don’t have time for long detailed answers at the moment, but one “food for thought item” just creeped in my mind: Instead of asking “Where do you see yourself on the political spectrum?”, I would like to ask “What is your political spectrum ?” - or you could say "How are the seats allocated in your inner government ?"
I know this would bust a simple poll, but I can see different proportions of all the different political colours in my heart and mind.
Enjoy the weekend :slight_smile:

Of course everyone is free to enter this thread; yet tbh, I don’t see the point in starting a political discussion in this forum. According to my experience discussions like this involve the risk of unnecessary quarrels.
So, I’ll just stand by and watch.

You did see the first two paragraphs of my post didn’t you?

Sure.
I honestly just fail to believe, that this will have an impact should a disagreement occur.
That’s just my humble opinion of course.

I lean somewhere between green social democracy, social liberalism and anarchism…

I know that is some rathe strange combination…but on some matters I lean very much towards anarchism, where on others I see green as the solution, where again others some liberalism couldn’t do harm in my eyes.

Not going to give much concrete examples, but for example working at Fairphone I would consider as a liberal decision…the government is failing, so let the companies try and change it :wink:

Took me about 10 minutes to decide between green social democracy and democratic socialism. Can’t we make a green democratic socialism option? :laughing: I like to think about a world where we’re all equal and all have plants rights! Nice poll though :slight_smile:

According to this poll, the FP Forum is pretty links-grün-versifft and we’re way too many Gutmenschen here who believe in the Rotfunk-Lügenpresse :wink:

Are you surprised?

I am rather surprised there is actually one person voting Nationalism, wouldn’t expect that so quickly here :wink:

21

I’d not be sure that was serious.

22

me neither, but still :wink:

So many voted for “green and social”, It is really no surprise that they are found here. :grin: Includes me, of course.

I love this long list of potential leanings. I’m an American, we have only two practical choices in almost all elections, even local ones. At least in a lot of western European countries there are at least a few more practical options.

I suppose the best thing to describe me would be a Democratic Socialist. I’m further left than the American Democratic party is but I wouldn’t call myself completely socialist, does that make sense? (before you ask, yeah I’m just as displeased with my president as you are. Last night he forgot the words to the song “God Bless America”, I need to cross the Canadian boarder)
