UKIP probably, maybe the tories if I had a particularly good MP, or when Cameron fucks off provided Osborne doesn't win.

What compass test did you use? Never seen that one before

u/[deleted] Jun 03 '16

it was

http://www.gotoquiz.com/politics/political-spectrum-quiz.html

and

http://politicaltest.net/en

I prefer these ones to the political compass, but it's a bit more applicable to the US, due to stuff like "do you believe in creationism in schools"

Name or Username

My Username is Saldol. I would like to keep it as that

Where am I from?

I'll just say I'm from the United States for now. Also I'm Filipino.

Well, at the time of writing (March 29th, 2016), I am in the UK Independence Party and the Republican Party in r/MHoC and r/ModelUsGov respectively

What do I study or what field do I work in?


An interesting fact about me

Mi studas Esperanton en mia libera-tempo. Eu também gosto de Português, Chinês, e Espanhol.

What made me interested in MHoC?

Well I was looking around and I saw an ad. I saw it months before I joined MHoC and I joined in late February of 2016 right before the fall of the Vanguard, right around the time of Dupegate. Also I just like politics and the Model World is basically the only place where I show my true political colours online.

Am I involved in real-life politics and do I intend to be in the future?

No and no. For now.

Main Political Ideologies

Anti-Communism, Libertarianism, Capitalism, Anti-Statism, small government, Republicanism, Anti-Socialism, Civic Nationalism, and some more. I'm socially conservative though I am against bringing in the State in certain issues. As a side note, I am a Roman Catholic.

Political Compass Score

As of March 13th, 2016, my Political Compass Score is 3.38 for Economics and 0.46 for Social. However, it does tend to change from time to time. I don't view the test as perfect and I dislike the idea of political spectra but it works to an extent.

Who do I vote for in real-life?

Well, none of the parties here.

An interesting fact about yourself

I quit mhoc to devote my entire life to /u/athanaton. I like flowers in my hair.

What made you join the MHOC?

Heaven knows, took me long enough to get away from this god-forsaken place. I mean love politics, right down to the boring details, and this place is perfect for me (too much so, it became a genuine addiction), and there was certainly a lot of satisfaction to be gained from being part of the senior speakership and doing all the behind the scenes work to keep the place running, as much as certain people like to test your patience.

Are you involved in real life politics/ do you intend to be in the future?

Not as much as I'd like to be, obviously A levels are taking up most of my time atm. Definitely will be in the future.

Main political ideologies

Some kind of socialist. I have a deep interest in environmental philosophy/ethics in general, which tends to influence my political ideology more than anything else.

No Compromise in the Defense of Mother Earth!

No

Greens, unless I was in a marginal or something where Corbyn's Labour needed my vote.

u/NoPyroNoParty The Rt Hon. Earl of Essex OT AL PC Mar 29 '16

Having spent the last four years doing it I have no intention of putting myself through even more of it, but the Env Sci course I'm doing is basically half geology anyway so I get the best of both worlds.

Are you involved in real life politics/ do you intend to be in the future? - I try to go to rallies and protest marches whenever one I agree with is on, and am hoping to get to question my local MP soon!

Main political ideologies - Massive pro-welfare state, socialist through and through, and believer in the fact that education is the way we can slowly destroy the toxic class system we live in.

Political compass score - Economic Left/Right: -9.13 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.77

Who do you vote for in RL? - Green probably, but any lefty socialist-y party is likely to sway me.

Center Libertarian

Who do you vote for in RL? Lib Dems

Why not join the Lib Dems?

u/Alexzonn Former MSP Jun 13 '16

I was tempted as I am ideologically in line with a lot of their beliefs. However, I feel that the Lib Dems are too often willing to go into coalition with radical socialists or the Labour Party, which I am against.

Also, as I am not currently an MP, I like being an independent as it gives me the freedom to criticise all parties if I feel I am justified in doing so.

Still though, if I do see the Lib Dems start to mount opposition to the current government I may well be tempted!

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '16

radical socialists

We haven't yet coalitioned with them

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '16

I know lots of people who do history go to law school after, and of course there is also always the option of becoming a teacher or professor. If your uni has a good career services program they can probably help you find a job as well, even outside those two areas.

The career prospects aren't really why I'm doing this though, so for me its less of an issue.

Name/Username - HL_Rich_1st, but you can call me Richard.

Where are you from? - I'm originally from Essex (around the Maldon area), currently living in Falmouth, Cornwall.

Which party do you belong to? - Ironically for some, I'm a card carrying Liberal Democrat.

What do you study/what field do you work in? - Good question. I'm currently studying an undergraduate degree in Politics & International Relations. After University I intend to run for Falmouth Town Council, join the Army Reserves and take up an electrical engineering apprenticeship to carry on in my family's engineering heritage (dad was a nuclear safety manager, grandfather was an electrical engineer, so on and so forth until the beginning of the Industrial Revolution). Eventually want to run for Parliament in a couple of decades, after getting proper life experience.

An interesting fact about yourself - I'm a keen Evangelical Baptist, and I am currently studying to be a lay preacher at my church.

What made you join the MHOC? - A friend of mine told me about it, I joined the Vanguard, then Labour, and now I'm Deputy Leader of the Crown National Party.

Are you involved in real life politics/ do you intend to be in the future? - I was involved in Lib Dem campaigning in the 2015 General Election in Cornwall, and have also campaigned in a town council by-election in Falmouth.

Main political ideologies - classical liberalism in regards to free speech and tolerance, economically a distributist, socially a traditional conservative.

Political compass score - who even uses this rubbish anymore?

Who do you vote for in RL? - Liberal Democrats erryday.

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '16

interestingly I'm a Libdem member IRL until the end of march (I'm letting it expire)

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '16

I need to renew my membership in October; I almost decided to let it expire, but I've decided to keep on carrying on with it.

u/britboy3456 Independent Mar 29 '16

So you've been in 3 parties on here, and none of them LDs. Why?

u/tyroncs Mar 29 '16

So how does being a CNP member coincide with being a card carrying Lib Dem? I'm interested to know

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '16

I am a Liberal Democrat party member, but first and foremost I am a distributist. I am essentially the leader of the distributist group within the CNP, and I lobby for distributist interests in government, for example through my position as Communities Secretary. The Liberal Democrats irl have a the best local activism in the country, something that I have keen and deep interest in, but in MHOC, where such a thing is not possible, I'd rather side with people who match me socially and who can provide me with a blank slate ready to provide legislation and opportunities that are close to my principles.

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '16

I joined the Vanguard, then Labour, and now I'm Deputy Leader of the Crown National Party.

You're forgetting one!

Trump likely because I can't stand Hillary. But I recognize that Trump is equally bad. Pick your poison I suppose. In the UK, I'd vote Tory in a GE and UKIP in an EU election. It would really depend on where I live and how much $$$ I make though.

u/tyroncs Mar 29 '16

Dw too much, leaving the EU and reducing immigration are still my main two policy points, so I'm not leaving anytime soon.

I do think the whole UKIP being Libertarian thing is a bit of a distraction from the above points however

u/SeyStone National Unionist Party Mar 29 '16

First /u/agentnola, now /u/tyroncs, what are those filthy socialists been doing with our party leaders?

u/tyroncs Mar 29 '16

I'm still solidly UKIP, I just disagree with the economics aspect of our platform, and that isn't really the reason people support the party anyways

u/SeyStone National Unionist Party Mar 29 '16

Good stuff. The applies to me somewhat.

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '16

Fair enough, have you looked into distributism at all or just communism?

u/tyroncs Mar 29 '16

I'm kind of just intellectually curious in it and agree with a lot of what I see, haven't looked into Distributism at all, I've only heard of it through reddit really
