This is my result restricted to Italy. Very proud of it :D Interestengly, there are a lot of parties to which I would align better, and it looks like the one I'm more similar to is in Netherlands, and it is this famous PvdA @heywoodu is nicely talking about

We have very similar results :p Btw, it's very sad for me don't see Volt on the italian ballot paper, let's hope that they will won some set in Germany or/and Netherlands :fingers:

Ugh, the inevitable "Immigration to the Netherlands should be made harder" question. Yes, I think it should, but yes, I also 'cut my own fingers' with that (because non-European girlfriend), which leads to the question: should I let my own personal situation 'win' over what I think is best for the country in general? :p 

 

I wish every single person in the world would ask themselves this kind of questions when they're going to cast their votes for a party/candidate. :wub:

Irrespective of their answer on a determined topic, which is personal and I choose to respect unless is something that leads toward hate crimes or disrespect of basic human rights, I at least can be assured they are willing to look for a reason behind their positions and beliefs.

That result is as left-wing as can be :yikes: (almost, SP would be even more left)

I feel very uncomfortable with PvdA, so that's definitely not gonna be it. Food for thought.

I don’t know a lot about Dutch politics, but from the PvdA Wikipedia page I’d say that’s who I’d vote for...without knowing much about any other social democratic, anarchist, and socialist Dutch Parties

I took the poll/survey linked earlier, here are my results 

For Denmark @wumo26 @Agger:

Spoiler

Wasn’t surprised by the results that much. I’ve known for a few years that I agree with the Northern European Green Parties and Social Parties.

 

For Netherlands @heywoodu :

Apparently I’m center-left in the Netherlands? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

 

For Italy @AlFHg :

Spoiler

Look’s like we’d make good political partners.

 

And finally, For Slovakia @hckosice :

I would not do well in the Slovakian political landscape apparently :dunno:

Center-left, yes. Sidenote: DENK is actually a Turkish party mostly, pretty widely accused of being 'the long arm of Erdogan'. The only party I am absolutely not voting for no matter the arguments on issues.

where did you find this ? and what exactly this is ?

 

Because there absolutely no chance the Hungarian party finish or be ranked 2nd in Slovakia. Absolutely any chance. You can bet whatever you want ! :lol:

 

and I am afraid the neo-nazis dickheds will finish much higher than with 36 % (they are too much popular among the first voters and brainwashed youngs)

I think you misinterpreted my post there :p. That’s a measure of what Slovakian parties fit me, of which the answer is apparently none. I always knew I liked Slovenia more...
