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

Koga No Goshi is a Berkeley Liberal

TuffStuffMcGruff is a conservative with a libertarian streak, believing in small government and traditional Christian values

: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.

Redleg is a strict constitutionalist. A bit more socially conservative than SFTS but hey we cant all be perfect. A very sound and skilled debater.

SFTS is a fairly libertarian sort who I've placed closer to some democrats than republicans in my own mind on occasion. His views on immigration are very different from what could be called the norm of American politics.

He's also from Tejas.

Uesugi Kenshin is back! A member who always like to think about the why never one to turn down an opinion very open minded

I'll stop:oops:

Strike, like most Texans, is a Texan first politically and an American centrist second, which makes him a Mexican. :laugh4:

Devastatin Dave is a pinko commie ~D

Sasaki Kojiro is a mystery, in a puzzle, wrapped in an enigma. Or something like that.

Actually I've always been around, I've been lurking for about that last two years and only make the occasional post though.

Uesugi Kenshin is a quiet thinker, only voicing his opinions on subjects he feels very strongly about, varying from minor left and minor right depending on the issue.

Hope im not too wrong :embarassed:

I'd say PeverGreen is fairly moderate, maybe with a slight twist to the left. Yet always sensible.

Pevergreen is centrist in nature I believe, leaning left and right on particular issues on a case by case basis (I hope).

Then again being Australian everything is nice and quiet and sameish most of the time anyway. :p

Gah too Late!:

Swedish is Leftist in nature???

Gaius is a far lefty, bordering to socialism, if I am indeed correct.

khaan I have no idea...

Probably would have been better not to post. Too late now I suppose.

Ichigo is utterly ambivalent. :wink:

That's just rude. I'm going to say that you're a commie out of pure meanness.:beam:

Ichigo is center left I belive...
not a ton to go off of though...

Absolutely no clue about you... :shame:

Panzer is the .Org's resident facist.

Hanky (going from memory...) is right-leaning, but only moderately so.

*Awaits the vitriol of the next post... I hope its Frag*

I'm guessing, but I'd say CA is a left of center Humanist (the quote in the sig) with Technocratic tendencies (his astute analysis of polling).

OverKnight - a fairly centrist American who is disillusioned with the current state of American politics, at least at the Presidential level.

Also your analysis of me was pretty damn close.

I think from what I have seen of CA's posts he is somewhat of a left leaning bloke. Though I don't know most people here anymore! ;)

I think from what I have seen of JAG's posts he is somewhat of a left leaning bloke. ~;)

I think from what I have seen of Louis's posts he is somewhat of a left leaning bloke.

Oh and he is a foreign member of the NRA :tongue:

CA: Pretty far to the left on the spectrum. Too liberal be a commie, though he flirts with every fringe leftist group out there. Naturally puts the rights of Koalas before those of big business.

Secretly wishes he was an American and could impose proper socialism on the US. By CA's standards, Obama is a right wing reactionary.

CA is an Oz republican to boot, they can keep the queen in blighty.


[The freedom of the worlds rests upon the NRA. It is my democratic duty to be a member]

Alright, now my serious view of Louis...

Represents the centre-left of his native France and he is very anti-Sarkozy, from what I can pick up. Fairly anti-war and pro-Government in many economic regards, though liberal on Social issues - without being on the Fringe.

Louis is a fairly moderate member, with a twist to the right.

I like to think of Louis as an old school humanist.

Thnx to his French flair, he comes away with everything, even when he spouts complete nonsense on the noble Flemish case :mean:

EDIT: beaten to it by CA :shame:

Andres: a natural centre-right. Socially very liberal. Petty social conservatism he considers fit for the small of mind and large of mouth.

Legally schooled, political questions are seen in an intricate framework of nuanced rights and duties, with an emphasis on inalienable human dignity. This, more than political affiliation, is decisive for his outlook. Equally dislikes a loudmouth Antwerpian Flemish nationalist as much as a whining socialist from Liège.

He protects his communautarian ideals against the onslaught of populist sentiment from any direction.

As the last sane person in Belgium, he stands alone.

For this he is rewarded by French mockery and Walloons who help themselves to his wallet at every opportunity.

Louis is a moderate, although with leanings to the left on certain issues, and suspicious of unregulated freemarketism

Rhyfelwyr - impossible to place down on the left-right scale. Very Socially Conservative but a Social-Democrat when it comes to economic issues. Perhaps the best simple label would be 'Christian Left'.

EDIT: And fiercely anti-Scottish nationalist.

A Classical Leftist-Socialist, CountArach puts US democrats to shame for abandoning their basic principles - yet he holds an uncharacteristic interest in the nuts-and-bolts of political process, especially American.

Kukri is a left/right of centre centrist, almost an extream moderate.

Insane Apache: dislikes British prime ministers.

Andres comes across as a Euro Centrist, of the "Can't we all just get along?" variety. As Louis pointed out, his legal background compells him to put duty to the people above political ideology.

If the EU evers gets an approved political apparatus, I'd recommend him for office.

Kukrikhan is a Californian centrist. Elements of cynicism with the political process are counter-balanced by a faith in community action. And concerns about the ravages of capitalism are offset by the comfortable life it affords in one of the most affluent areas of the world.

Idaho's firmly in th left camp, possibly socialist. Likes to joke about religion.

Fenring is a centrist (probably with a slight tilt to the left, especially with regard to sociopolitical issues).
In general he refuses to take any positions of political camps for gospel.

Ser Clegane seems to me to be an Internationalist-Centrist, with slight leanings to the social left, and fiscal right. He acknowledges the value of individual euro cultures, yet has a love/hate relationship with North American culture - seeking to blend the best of them together, and toss the sillier stuff (extreme socialism or nationalism).

From what I've been able to conclude Kukrikhan is near the centre, slightly leaning to the right...

I would probably tick the box called "Left - Other".

Idaho is in the "left-other" category :smartass2:

makaikhaan is a moderate liberal :juggle2:

atheotes appears to be fairly centrist and perhaps liberal; but my data available to analysis is not too extensive :bow:

Viking is fairly left wing, perhaps touching on some definitions of socialism... in american terms crazy left wing fringe commie :wink2:

LittleGrizzly, crazy left wing fringe commie :laugh4: A nice one though.

Fragony - proponent of small government and as little regulation on the market as possible. Suspicious of any claim to take his money through taxes, and the Backroom enemy of multiculturalism.

Rhyfelwyr, Christain-right whose views hold much religious moral base.

Standard American Liberal^

woad&fangs is a crypto-centrist.

CrossLOPER is...

A Human being.
And
for this I respect him.

In the end,
It is
All that really maters.

Edit: damnit, I need to learn to check for additional pages....

But I have no idea where Yoyoma stands :dizzy2:

Horetore is our resident Viking socialist.
