Country of Residence: Portugal
Nationality: Portuguese (nationality is your current citizenship)
Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right: -6.62 - Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.85
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Social Democrat
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Socialist
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: Bloco de Esquerda (Much more libertarians then what I am, but I agree with their ideas, more then with any other party.), their stance is "Left-Wing Radicals" I suppose.
Religion: Atheist
Abortion: I would impose a limit of one "irresponsible" abortion per person, excluding those of rape, incest, handicapness and that threaten the life of the mother
War in Iraq: Bad casus belli, bad decisions. I believe the USA clearly have second intentions in that country.
War in Afghanistan: Supported as a means to combat Islamic Radicalism. I believe the solution is an intervention in Waziristan, in Pakistan to finally crush the Talibans
Drugs: Prohibited. I am a staunch prohibitor of anything which causes a great amount of vice. Same goes for Alcohol and Tobacco.
Firearms: Only saleable to anyone with the highest mental and psyche tests, having to be repeatable every 5 years. Only hunting firearms.
Gay Marriage: I agree with Gay marriages since if both persons are happy with one another, then they should be allowed to have a Civil Marriage.
Gay Adoption: I disagree strongly. Marriage is about those two persons loving one another, but adopting someone is bringing someone half compulsively into a familly which isn't a regular one in the first place.
Religion in Schools: I believe every country should be strictly secular. Therefore, I agree with the enforcement of secularity in school.
Death Penalty: I am in an ambiguous position. While I am unaffected and with a cool mind, I am against it. But if someone murdered a close relative of mine, I'm pretty sure my opinion would radicalize quickly.
European Union: I am a staunch suporter of the European Union, with the primary purpose of establishing a loose federation, where everyone has a common foreign policy, and it should be the equality between the federal states the primary objective in economical matters.
