I sowwy

my chem teacher told me that depending on what level of liberal you are at teenager will determine how far right you will go at middle age. So moderate liberal -> super right and far left -> moderate republican, etc.
I guess theres some truth to that.

I used to consider myself rather conservative and I was even a donating member. But then I realized... in this particular order:

- Abortion is a choice
- Centralized governments are potentially more effective
- Religious institutions corrupt
- Sexual preference is personal, and requires less bending-over-backwards than accommodating the religious
- Healthcare is a universal right

I guess it's part of growing older. And although I consider myself socially liberal, I would never vote for the centre-left parties of Canada.

Wikipedia says the party I vote for in the Netherlands is "conservative-liberal". I guess conservative is a bit of a joke term in the Netherlands compared to other countries. Conservative or not, almost all parties support gay marriage, abortion and euthanasia.

(But don't worry, I didn't vote in the poll)

Poor Americans
I would never even consider a party that doesn't support gay marriage, abortion and euthanasia. It's your own life, you decide. If you're religious then that's fine, just don't impose your religion on my life.

btw anyone else having problems reaching that political compass website?

Moderate left wing libertarian, apparently. Hanging there with Gandhi, Mandela and Dalai Lama.

(didn't vote due to the racist "US-only" requirement.)
