What is my Political Ideology?

Name: Anonymous 2011-10-07 11:34

I've tried a few different online tests to figure out what my ideology since none of the parties in my country appeal to me but I find that the question are to topical and thus the responses are weighted poorly. In the end the tests all told me different things as a result. So /pol/ you tell me ok.

I believe in strong centralized unitary government

I believe in secularism to the point of being anti-theist

I believe in gender equality (no double standards anywhere) as long as something that requires an drastic increase in population doesn't happen.

I believe in demand side economics and the cyclical development of government and economies.

I think oppression is a superior form of control than manipulation, the money wasted on making people think they are free in so called democracies could be just as easily spent placating a non-free people.

I think multiculturalism only works with specific combinations of cultures. I don't have a problem with limited immigration but I think my country in particular needs to be more selective on who it lets in. We spend to much money on immigration. If we are having an aging population problem pay us to have children so both parents don't have to work instead of spending billions a year on immigrants.

I think being political correct is alright as long as it is not so extreme you can't talk about problems you have proof are happening.

I think crime prevention is more important than punishment.

I think regulation and taxation are superior methods of handling drug and prostitution related problems.

I think government power should rest primarily at the local level, and that legislative powers should reside with the people, not with representatives. Managerial positions like mayors or governors would still exist, but they would be subject to strict transparency. The rest should go to a minimal federal government managed by some sort of assembly of the cities who's job is to define and enforce Constitutional laws which all of the local governments should follow. The Constitution would lay down standards in things like labor, health, and transportation, which all cities must follow, regardless if they're developed in a Capitalist or Socialist system, it would regulate how trade to the outside is done, and lay down fundamental rights every person ought to have, like the freedom to move unhindered between each local government's area, and rights to things like privacy and free speech. The army should be limited in size and budget except in war time, which must be declared and renewed explicitly by the central assembly. The Constitution should also define how each local government should function. People should be generally free to do what they want, unless they infringe on the freedom of another to do what they want, but that's my personal opinion, if a city wanted to ban Marijuana, they should be able to. If someone didn't like the law, they could move to another city where the law is more lax.
