    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.
    BLARGH!

    me and politics dont like each other much but i'll come and join the political view club!

    Country of Residence: The United Kingdom
    Nationality: English
    Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right: -1.62 - Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.56
    Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: undecided
    Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): undecided
    Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: BNP
    Religion: Agnostic

    Abortion: if rape, or any other wrong, it should be allowed, any natural birth should not be prevented, it's as good as murder
    War in Iraq: all there doing in fighting in a country that doesn't want or deserve our help, withdraw the excuses for war were wrong in every moral way anyway
    War in Afghanistan: undecided
    Drugs: only medicine, potentially lethal drugs if it helps in hospital in suitable amounts, though for general use i forbid it
    Firearms: Only for hunting, in a safe establishment and supervised, no person should freely have a firearm in there possession.
    Gay Marriage: I guess so, though on the basis they keep them selves to themselves, i won't pretend it's natural
    Gay Adoption: only if there both ready and only if the child is young and otherwise parent-less, otherwise no
    Religion in Schools: We can make our own views, i don't need some catholic obsessed maniac converting me, we decide ourselves
    Death Penalty: If the crime is serious enough, such as murdering, definitely, it's fine to give them a chance when the murder doesnt involve you but the murder's family wouldn't feel like this, arugments over being just as bad as them are pathetic, because thats the goal to make them pay! though if they had some kind of mad plea for help that was completely ignored then i would open my mind a little more. And/or if they murdered someone because they were torturing and abusing the person in some way we may let it slip
    European Union: What's the point? countries get enough cultural afflictions as it is

    Country of Residence: The United Kingdom
    Nationality: People’s Republic of China/The United Kingdom
    Political Compass Result: Economic – 2.62 Social –0.26
    Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Left liberal with some conservative ideas.
    Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping: probably socialist
    Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: none
    Religion: atheist with agnostic leanings every now and then.

    Abortion: Should be available to everyone up to the time when brain activity can be detected in a baby (~ 18 weeks I think). If the mother’s life is in danger / was raped then abortion should be allowed for longer.
    War in Iraq: Must stay in there to fix the thingy.
    War in Afghanistan: Must stay there to fix the thingy.
    Marijuana: Ban all drugs.

    Gay Marriage: Sure.
    Gay Adoption: Only if the couple is in a committed relationship and thoroughly vetted.
    Religion in Schools: Just no… religious schools are bad too.
    Death Penalty: Death penalty should be allowed for the most serious crimes like murder.
    European Union: Sure, I don’t see how joining it would erode a person’s rights…

    The rest I decided to delete for not being allowed by the moderator to express my views on religion since he considers them offensive. I have opted to remove my views instead of altering my statement.
