My Political Profile

Country of Residence: The Netherlands
Nationality: Dutch
Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right: 2.00 Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.15
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Economicly right wing, socially liberal, EU-neutral.
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Liberal (European)
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: None really, but I usually vote for liberals (VVD)
Religion: Alternating between atheist and agnostic.

Abortion: Illegal when the fetus has reached viability, possibly before- except obviously when there are health risks.
War in Iraq: Against the initial invasion, as soon as that was over Iraq's fate was the responsibility of the coalition. I supported and still support the occupation (heh) because the new Iraqi state deserves a chance.
War in Afghanistan: Entirely for; I've always felt that we shouldn't leave until the government could maintain itself. Frankly I don't see how you could oppose it unless you're a total pacifist.
Marijuana: Should be allowed and regulated much like alcohol.
Firearms: Should be allowed, but only after an antecedent checkup and psychology test, and with registration.
Gay Marriage: For; against forcing religious institutions to recognise them.
Gay adoption: For.
Religion in schools: only private schools. I hate my country's system where faith schools receive money just like public schools.
Death penalty: Against on a practical basis and for that matter; not sure if it's ever justified except for crimes against humanity.
European Union: Used to support, now mostly indifferent. My biggest problems with it are the CAP and lack of transparancy.
Israel: Supports the state's existance, but lay most of the blame of the current mess on their politicians.
