Title: Which political viewpoint do you follow?
Post by: Krazy Golf on July 01, 2012, 20:53:53: So politics is a heavily debated topic throughout the world and there is always the arguement over which party is the 'best' and whether their policies are fair for all. Certain areas and groups within countries often favour one political party and tensions can rise.

What is your opinion on politics? Do you follow it? Are you aware of the political system in your country and how it works?

Is politics boring, a waste of time and of no interest to you? Are you bothered about the decisions made by politicians?

Or is politics an important part of society, which enables the voices of the ordinary citizen to be heard? Should we all get involved in politics?

Here is a little fun test to give you a general political viewpoint: http://www.politicalcompass.org/test (http://www.politicalcompass.org/test)

Post your result below. Here is mine:

So according to this I'm edging towards a more left-wing political view. That's okay I guess. Read the site for more information and what your compass point means. :)

As for my views on politics, I follow the subject and have a general interest in what goes on. I'd like to think I'm quite up to date with the policies and the decisions they are making on both a local and national scale and how this will affect me (like the rise in tuition fees). I will be voting in the next general election but I don't take politics too seriously. I wouldn't say politics is a waste of time, I think it is important to understand the decisions being made in your country. It is shocking to see the level of corruption uncovered in the British political system, despite being part of a 'democracy'.

What do you guys think?

Post by: Krazy Golf on July 02, 2012, 18:36:15: Thank you for all posting your compass points, it is nice to see we are all very left wing and democratic. :)

Does anyone have an opinion on politics?

Interesting point. I'd go as far as to say all governments are corrupt to some extent, whether it be the likes of Robert Mugabe or just the British politicians fiddling their expenses claims.

Should they be prosecuted in a criminal court for this? Or is it only 'morally' wrong? As times passes more and more British MPs are being criminally charged and so they should be.

Because nobody in this clan shares extreme right wing or fascist views of the world. We are nice people :)
