Political advice
Trinc
Hello everyone.
I started a political research to make some sort of voting advice scheme.
I made 10 statements and I asked the political parties from the eUNL top 5 to answer them with yes, no or neutral.
I compared these answers with the answers I thought RL left/progressive and right/conservative would give.
If the answers matched with a left/progressive answer the political party would get a -1 point, if the answers matched with a right/conservative answer the political party would get a 1 point.
If one party gained -5 points, they could be called left progressive, if one party gained +6 points they would be called right/conservative.
If an answers doesn't match with right or left, it will gain 0 points.
Note:
Right answers I based on the following:
-they want a small government, little influence on the economics and nationalistic.
Left answers I based on the following:
- they want a lot of government influence on the economics. Left/progressive parties are in favor of multicultural environments.
If you don't agree with the RL answers, fine, we can talk about it.
So these were the questions I have made:
1. The name of the nation should be eNetherlands.
2. The government of the nation must be large.
3. There should be many state companies.
4. The president should have more power.
5. The official language of the nation should be Dutch.
6. Government members are not allowed to be in congress.
7. We have to make better relations with nations outside Phoenix.
8. We should consider joining the Entente alliance.
9. We should have more influence on the monetary market.
10. The nation must continue to negotiate with the Belgians.
These are the answers I thought RL left and right parties would make.
Now, I will post the answers political parties from UNL gave me. These questions are asked to both political leaders as party members, I combined those anwsers.
So what are the things I noticed?
* ALL the parties agree on keep going to negotiate with the Belgians.
* The Libertarian party is far more left then I thought it was.
* YOUR party is the most left party of the eUNL.
* There are no far right or far left parties in the eUNL top 5.
* I&W is the only party who doesn't want to make better relations outside PHX.
* GLD is the only party who wants the name to be changed to eNetherlands.
* LSD wants many state companies, as the only party.
Well there is another cool about this, if you want to know where you belong, just answers the questions for yourself and check out your score. If you find some statements for important than others, just give that questions a multiplier.
I hope you liked what I did.

As you made statements on which we only could react with Yes, No or Neutral, we couldn't explain why we against a statement.
For example:
7. We have to make better relations with nations outside Phoenix.
I said no, because i think we should first have better relations with nations within Phoenix. So it doesn't imply that i am against better relations with nations outside Phoenix. 😉
Great research!
+4 :9
I am a -1 BTW
How did you decide what is left and what is right? Is there some guiding thought, or is it just your opinion? Basically, how do you define L v R?
Its a very nice piece of research btw...
Well I used RL party ideologies to define that.
LP is not left, it´s progressive right!
awesome survey though!
Meep!
@Daniel Parker: it's a fact now, LP is left, and very close towards LSD 😃
Shakerr, LP can be what ever we want!! (We just chose to look like LSD because we want all your people to join us, then we will brainwash them, THEN go back to our right beliefs)
Its always a conspiracy with the LP, haha!
Where is my party ? :3
@Maartenw: yeah you are right!
Of course your party is there, not my party. *rolls eyes*
Why is joining Entente considered a left statement? 😒
And where is M.Y. Party! :'(
not top 5 yet maartenW 😉
I am even more left then I thought I was.
I like the idea, but I dont agree with what you think is left or right. why not keep it:
Agree or Disagree
... How is not looking for other allies Right?
Furthermore I am a little disappointed that no party would like to increase the power of the President...
"YOUR party is the most left party of the eUNL."
wrong.
The Workers' Party is the most left party.
