One of the funniest things I've seen in a while.

You don't ban topics just because they give you a headache. As I said it is a proven fact that politics here almost never lead to heated arguments, unlike the ideas thread.

Really not sure what you consider an argument, mate.

Well, Iv does have a point. Political threads are quite peaceful here.
Or have you ever seen anyone here insult someone because of political opinion?

I agree entirely with Ivan, despite the fact that he is a socialist bastard.
I just had to say it, didn't I.

I'd take a socialist bastard over a misguided anarchist any day of the week.

You know, as long as we're making sweeping assertions about other's political views.

I don't mind being called a socialist bastard, as I do understand that even the most capitalist Austrian politician propably still would be socialist by US standards.

The entire spectrum of European politics is left of the left in the US. Also, bourgeoisie royalist/carlist-confederate scum reporting in.

It was a joke, come on.

*raises hand*

C-can I be a socialist bastard?

Maybe. Depends on what you mean by 'socialist'.

So far left that the US couldn't see me with a telescope.

But mainly, in favour of having a decent government that can, gasp, get things done.

Seems we'e a tad short of those.

Socialist bastards represent!
Assuming socialist democracy counts. I know little about politics.

Socialist democracy counts all the way.

also, bad news @error: Over here, nothing gets done. Except making our school system like the one in the US.
yeeeah. Actually, that idea was by the socialist party, but they call it differently.
I don't even know who I'll vote for EU elections this year. (in Austria, voting is legal at the age of 16)
Propably either the environmentalists or the socialists, considering the trans-atlantic free trade agreement currently in planning contains screwing over ALL the environment-protection laws in europe.

The only political party that gets anything done here is socialist, the right-wingers just frak everything over. And still spend money like drunken sailors.

No one gets anything done here, lol. Who do you consider socialists? I'm done with the entire democracy thing, so 1776. And besides, we've basically had an extremely limited elected monarchy since 1788.

Well its not the best but its better than dictatorship at least, the later mostly brings to violence in the long run, anarchy is even worse - it bring the violence not in the long run but rather right here and now in your face, and in the end it will only mean some man or party will capture the throne by force and we return back to dictatorship, because no throne remains empty.

Were I human, I'd advocate that Britain be kept separate from the continent. Were I human, of course.

I'm not really a Nationalist, but I don't think forcing everyone into the same cookie-cutter culture is a good idea, Europe and the US should have stayed balkanised(or became, in the US's case).Only ideological/moral things(holocaust, the crusades, etc.) should be able to cause world wars.
