Poll: Where do you see yourself on the political spectrum?

My choice: Green Social Democracy (slightly leaning towards democratic socialism)

Ever since I was able to vote I have always voted for the Austrian Greens. According to Vote1 I align most with the views of De Leonism and also when I take pre-election quizes I usually get the recommendation to vote for the Communist Party of Austria, but the way I see it most tests and quizes don’t place a lot of importance on e.g. environmental and climate change issues.

I’m also a partial match with the Pirates and other left parties. According to Vote1 I’m very close to Spain’s Unidos Podemos and Sweden’s Miljöpartiet de gröna.

After the Austrian Parliament Elections 2017 where the Greens just missed the 4% obstacle and therefore are no longer represented in our parliament and the two right parties are about to form a coalition to rule the country for 5 years I decided I had to stop being just spectator and will now join the Vienna Greens. To be exact probably the “Grüne Andersrum”, the greens’ lgbtqia group.
