The Golden Fleece is planning on creating a political spectrum in Issue 12! The political spectrum will place the eBelgian parties on a political scale on several issues. These issues will be socio-economic, democratic, cultural and on international politics.

To make this spectrum The Golden Fleece needs your help! You can help by filling in the survey provided in the link. If you don't want to give your name, can your provide your party and if you are in congress?

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PHQTHM8

The goal of this research is to provide eBelgium with clear programs and 'ideology' of each party. I hope to have you cooperation!

Thanks in advance
The Golden Fleece

Sammy Tanghe Day 923, 14:58

counterstriker your free to leave when you want nobody will stop you. Voted done.

Counterstriker, if a person disagrees wth you, it doesn't automatically mean that he's wrong or will destroy this country. And the fact that you are the loudest one doesn't automatically make you the voice of the people 😛

Reaussou Day 923, 15:26

Counterstriker, could you please NOT turn my topic into another flamethread.

And yes, you started it with repeating for the 50th time how corrupt you think eBelgium is and why you are going to leave and how you want the country to burst into flames.

You used to be a wisenose but constructive and enthusiastic with potential. Now you're just getting on everybody's nerves. It's a shame to see that evolution. I hope you make a 180° turn soon. Then we can talk again...

This survey is a good idea I wonder what will the result be.

Aldous Zamiatin Day 923, 15:40

Counterstriker, you should know that I'm usually zen-calm, as I am at the moment 😉 My point was that most people on the national forum are pretty friendly and competent, and not everything is as dark as you like to portray it.
Having "long toes" is not the best quality if you want to be involved in politics - we all have to deal with some criticism every now and then, and even if it is sometimes formulated rather harshly, there is no need to make a big deal out of it and it certainly doesn't make things easier.

My appologies to Reaussou for further "off-topicking" the comments 🙁

Aldous Zamiatin Day 923, 15:45

Reaussou, about the survey - as I understand, you'll analyze the answers people from different parties will provide you to synthesize a profile of each party based on these answers, right? But these answers will be highly subjective (I mean, some members just joined a party for the people that were already in it, but their opinions on certain issues could diverge strongly) - won't that muddle with the results?

Xgentis Lempereur Day 923, 15:59

Maybe it's on purpose to see if the party follow the opinions of it's members?

counterstriker Day 923, 16:08

well like i stated before , what do you guys think about the following:
all party presidents release an official statement about the topics in the survey and or other topics, and then people can see if it reflects to their own personal ideas.
some parties could lose members and others could gain them by this intiative, but i believe it would create a more fair and more transparant political climate, and maybe then the results of this survey could be compared with the offical party statements.
I think it would be intresting to see.

Aldous Zamiatin Day 923, 16:19

This would indeed create a more healthy political culture, and I'm proud to say that Res Belgica has already made some steps in that direction (you'll find what we stand for and our election program articles in the RB Informer here: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-rb-our-election-program-1380776/1/20">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-rb-[..]/1/20 ).

Xgentis, most parties don't have a well-defined opinion on most issues and even members from the same party could disagree with each other, that's why I'm curious to see what the results will show 😉
