Are You Left, Right, or Center?
Shape D.:
Center.
The day I decide my views before I know the topic or discussion, Is the day my vote no longer counts.

Depends on what you compare it to. In the Netherlands I'm considered to be a right wing fanatic, but compared to political spectrum in the US I'm so far left that I'm practically a commie.
DrewKaree:
I am the epitiome of left-leaning politics, and patrick IS a commie ;D
jbox:
I quite like this site:
http://www.politicalcompass.org/
it makes an attempt to try to sift through political views in a more accurate fashion. For example, is it liberal to believe that a person shouldn't be allowed to smoke in public? Is it conservative to believe that government shouldn't own all of the land? ???
I do find it surprising that people would need to read a bill first to decide what their opinion is about the underlying topic (ie. are they left/right). :o Personally I've never had my opinion changed by the proposition of a law, but I would be happy to agree that I never automatically agree with a bill simply because it comes from a particular political organisation. ;D
Jabba:
Usually, in Canada, Liberals (Left) are big on spending $$$ on social issues, Conservatives are big on spending $$$ on commerce). I am in business so typically vote Right. Depends on the bozo trying to get into Power though!
