Place The Person Above You

An interesting game, I thought, would be to say where you think the person is above you on the political spectrum/which party they support - without looking at the political profile thread. I thought it would make for a rather interesting discussion, because naturally people will have different viewpoints about the political beliefs of others. Naturally, this is in the Backroom because of the political connotations.

A normal post could look like this (not that there's any set format or anything).

Post #1: The person above is a communist.
Post #2: The person above is centre-right.
Post #3: The person above is a liberal.

Let the games begin. :bow:

EMFM is a centrist, somewhat-authoritarian traditionalist ~;)

Or simply centre right.

Fenring is left wing by USA standards but rather on the center

Strike is a conservative with many libertarian values

(Bonus Points if you can guess mine. I think I've changed political views about 1000 times within the year)

Kush' favours a pragmatic approach to economic issues and is somewhat conservative on most other things.

(okay, I'll leave it to the rest from now on)

Fenring is a centrist, believing in capitalist values but acknowledging the need for regulation.

Rhyfelwyr is liberal, I think.

Stephen is....well....I don't think he's posted here alot to label him. :2thumbsup:

I'd say Swedish is left-wing, probably Democrat.

Evil_Maniac From Mars is a euro-rightist (putting him far right of US Repub's). He sees the value of democracy, and doesn't mind imposing it on the population, for their own good.

If he could find a benevolent but absolute monarch who would allow and follow the people's vote - held often - that would be his favorite gov't.

Kukri is a ..... San Diego if I'm recalling correctly... conservative. Probably quietly voted for Bush twice, but that's just a guess. ;)

For the record: Nader in 2000, Peltier in 2004. I've never picked a winner :) ~Kukri

:inquisitive:

Rhyfelwyr is a social conservative. :book:

EMFM is a conservative, monarchist, eurosceptic, authoritarian democrat. I think that pretty much covers everything.

King Henry is a conservative who rather dislikes socialists, especially when they're French ~;)

Fenring is a left-leaning centrist.

Au contraire, mon cher, I wouldn't say I dislike socialists, I just find some of them rather dull in their self-righteousness, and in my opinion, dullness is a capital sin.

To elaborate on the honourable member Strike's prognostications, I would say that Fenring is a social-democrat.

Oh dear, it seems I was a bit slow on the uptake. I would hazard that makaikhaan is some sort of libertarian.

King Henry V is Conservative Monarchist as long as he is enlightened. As a staunch supporter of the republic I dislike that, However I find the mans hats rather enjoyable

Strike for the South is a libertarian, financial conservative and social liberal.

makaikhaan is a Moderate left, Social libertarian, and an Independant....

This one is way too easy, all you have to do is read the title under his name. :) A... hmm.... moderate Zionist, too. :)

Kogo no Goshi is strongly left-wing, but nonetheless respects liberties and the importance of having 'freedom to'

That's the main point of being a leftist ;)

Rhyfelwyr is a conservative, though - if I remember correctly - he leans toward the left on a few specific issues.

Menildil is a moderate in France, leftist everywhere else. ~;)

PanzerJaegar is a far-right conservative that would make any European's head spin :2thumbsup:

SwedishFish is generally a leftie who usually posts one-sentence sarcastic comments in the Election thread, but nevertheless does not disparage the American military in any way.

This ones pretty tricky... i would call GH fairly centerist in euro terms...

Considering Grizzy's two sig quotes, I'd put him slightly to the left of the mainstream in Europe, which means well within the left end of the spectrum in the US.

GH is by US standards left leaning which would make him European centerist I believe.
