Apparently my closest overall party is Platforma Obywatelska (82.6%) in Poland.  Marty is it a crazy party?  Would *I* think its a crazy party?
Not really. They are the party currently ruling in Poland and I actually voted for them in the last Polish Parliamentary elections, if only to put Kaczynskis out of power - they have since disappointed me by being too conservative for my tastes, but they have a broad appeal, joining various politicians from center-left secular free-market capitalists to moderate right Christian conservatives. They are pretty much European style Christian Democrats, with liberal (in European sense) market views. In US terms, I suppose they would be a party of conservatives like McCain and conservative democrats like Lieberman.

All in all, they are a relatively good party for Poland and pretty inoffensive all things considered, and I hope they will move to the social left in future, as right now there is no strong socially leftist party, and they will never out-conservative PiS for the hardcore catholic vote (also, PiS is significantly more socialist than them, being anti-free market and anti-privatisation).

I hate that the two axes are pro-anti EU and econ. They need to have the immigration/insulation axis on there to weed out the weirdos. I think most people would get very different results. Of course being the EU elections I suppose it makes sense.

It only displays two axis but it looks at many others from what I can tell.

You can customize the axes by filtering out certain issues.

LOL you got the now-defunct party of primitive hillbilly crooks and rapists who went down amidst sex and corruption scandals, and most of them are now in prisons.  :lol:

On second thought, I guess that fits Alaskan m.o. :p

Sadly all our convicted elected officials are being released as the US Justice Department attorneys screwed the pooch during the trials.

Croatia: Hravatska Stranka Prava - The Croatian Social Liberal Party.  Apparently not very successful :(
Man, that's a broad tent that can fit both you and I under it.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I'm really close to the LibDems. Time to rethink my Labour stance.. :bowler:

The nearest European party to me are the Greek Greens. I wonder if they advocate the reconquest of Constantinople from the Turk too..

Marbas the closest Polish party to me is SLD-UP. Are they good? Tamas: Same question with Lehet Mas a Politika.
