the lack of representation, and the lack of 'family' association, between the voter and the holder of office will lead to a more authoritarian state, something which will be necessary to hold together the fractious parts as they deal with the consequences of an economic and legal model made for all and suitable for none.

I don't believe the EU will go that for but personally for me, if anything if Lisbon is to be accepted something needs to be done about the bureaucracy of the EU. Currently the parliaments role is minor/insignificant.

I'm feeling relatively francophilic these days, so I took the test as a French citizen. I came out as Alternative Libe'rale. I guess that's French for BNP/fascits

I ended up so pro europe that apparently the Lib Dems arn't pro Europe enough for me. Was going to vote Lab. but need to read up on some policies and manefestos now!

Btw, I added my 'local' lib dem candidate on facebook (only one of Lib Dem and Lab to have a actual profile presences). It's hilarious when the feeds comes up : "Nick Clegg has tagged Sarah Teather in 5 photos." :D

I did the test as UK, Scotland. And came out close to the SNP.

Irony is that I hate such parties.

I came out Lib Dems top, Jury party (who ?) second and greens third..

Apart from the jury party who i know nothing off the other 2 would be where i would put my vote usually, so about right...

I was bored so I took this. Greens - 67/76 and Lib Dems 45/76

IA's profiler puts me midway between the Greens and the Tories.

On Furunculus' test the Lib Dems were the party I was closest to of the "real" parties.

Interesting that both polls put me closer to the Tories than Labour.

AFAIK Jury Party is confederation of Independent candidates. Could be wrong though..

Here is the chart for all you francophiles:

The vertical line reads statism/dirigism - liberalism / personal liberties. Horizontal is left - right. Me, I am in the right half of the orange MoDem circle in the middle.

Now, Don, I admire your great progress into francology. You are well on your way to becoming an expert.
I fear though, that utter disbelief prevents you from grasping the full extent of French étatisme and dirigisme. Your political preferences are indeed 'off the scale' in France. But it is not fascism that sets you apart from all French parties. You are not more to the right than French parties. On the contrary, you are perfectly in the centre, perhaps a wee bit on the right.
No, it is your dislike of government intervention that is the difference. On the graph you can see that all French parties, from the communists to the National Front, are in the bottom half. Your Alternative Libérale is the exception. It is on its own in the top half. The half which is, by French standards, even more blasphemous than either fascism or communism: it is freemarketerism, non-interventionism, and other outrageous, cursed -isms.

Alternative Libérale is an extremist party. Purple flower wielding hippy radicals, proponents of such political extremities as personal responsability, non-dirigism and a free market.

**Furunculus** · 06-03-2009, 14:11

sounds like an awesome party.

**Vladimir** · 06-03-2009, 15:15

Volkspartij voor Vrijheid en Democratie

From my position on the grid it looks like I'd support Fragony as president for life. Some of my responses are really off the party line though.

And once more I find myself agreeing with the way the French do things. Blast these nancy boys who think they can be conservatives without the majesty of the state!
