What Political Parties Would You Support In Other Countries

They are rather too liberal and just ignore the main issue. I’d go with DUP then.

Ignore what main issue?

@An_Gadai

Ignore what main issue?

They are “neutral” on the Union issue.

[An_Gadai]

I think the main issue is people being able to get work, and feed, cloth, shelter and educate their children, pretty much the same as anywhere else. This requires a stable and largely neutral government, within or without the Union.

A typically socialist viewpoint.

Surely you see that the moral question of nationalism against unionism is more important than something like people’s welfare, which the government has no business meddling with.

Although I can’t quite figure out how, as an American, it’s so easy to choose between the two.

Would Michael Collins have been a Reagan worshipper?

So when the South tried to secede what was the most important political issue-secession or something else?

Am I being whooshed here?

Is it that subtle?

For my hangover-addled cranium, yes, yes it is.

Apples, meet oranges.

Suspect our Australian Liberals are too left for you Qin. You’d be a Nationals supporter for sure. Yeah, we got Tony Abbot (aka The Mad Monk) but the Libs also have Malcom Turnbull, who I have quite a bit of respect for.

On the other hand, you’d be all in love with (platonically, of course) Barnaby Joyce. Ugh.

No, I am a white American citizen. Even if I were to obtain Thai citizenship (haha!), naturalized citizens are not allowed to vote.

It seems I am behind the times. This changed three years ago upon enactment of the 2007 constitution. That changed the situation to allow naturalized citizens the right to vote, but not until they’ve been citizens for five years. (Monks still cannot vote. They’re supposed to be above politics.)

[Balthisar]

That’s something I’ve not been able to determine in Mexico. There’s both the idea of “national” and “citizen” here, and only citizens can vote. Anyone can nationalize if they follow the rules and qualify. As far as I can tell, “citizens” are “nationals” that are over 18 and follow the law. But I’m not certain that nationalized citizens (i.e., not born of the blood) can vote, and I’m fairly certain that they can’t hold office. (There’s a lot of paranoia towards the foreign-born in this country, more-so than in the USA, and probably not without its reasons. As is, I’m not allowed to voice a political opinion.)
