Political Disc.: What would you do, if you were in charge?

[Captain Dappet]

I'm not sure if this should be here in WN or in CC, but I'll have it here for the time being.

Now, let's say you get elected leader of your country...What are the things you would change?

Personally, if I was elected Prime Minister of Sweden, there would be radical changes in the country. For example, the royal family would be stripped of it's privileges and enormous riches. It would no longer be "The Kingdom of Sweden" but "The People's Republic of Sweden". They would be taken care of as citizens of the Republic, but no more.
The privatization of the educational system and health care would be halted, and instead of leaving things to the private sector, more things would be controlled by the state.
Salaries would be evened, but not to the point that every one has the exact same salary.
I believe in "market socialism", which is a socialist economic system that deals with the well-known fact that if everyone has the same salary, workers lose motivation.
Market socialism works the way that, the more profit the company(which is owned by the state) gets, the more it's workers get paid. The profits of the company are distributed equally to it's workers. This would motivate workers to make their company a successful one.

Then there are a few smaller issues, that I don't deem important enough to state them here, right now.

[Ziona]

I'm very very liberal. It's just how I've turned out to be after my parents were extreme conservatists.

[Founder]

I'm a right wing, Bible thumping, neo-con. Conservative it is for me.

[IntrepidIsMe]

Out of those it would have to be conservative.

[Republican_Man]

Two years ago I wasn't a Conservative. I was a Republican. Now? I'm a Conservative. Not a neo-con, but an honest to God Conservative. No, I'm not an extreme conservative, but I consider myself a conservative, and I am quite a conservative person.
I believe in the following Conservative principals, for instance:
-Lower taxes
-Lower government spending (both pro-growth policies)
-Stronger border security
-High government defense spending, strong on defense
-"Trust but verify," "Peace through strength"
-Pro-life/Anti-Abortion, except for in extreme circumstances
-Maintain traditional marriage
-Legalize civil uinons
-Smaller government
-Fix the education system through Vouchers and School of Choice; attach money to the student, not to the school, so that each school fights for the students to come to their school and therefore provide the best education possible
-Give tax breaks to companies that can ease the need for NASA to develop new technologies
-Give tax breaks to companies that work to develop and implement new fuel technologies
-Defend our country before a threat becomes imminent
-Permit personalized accounts for social security
-Pro-choice (though not pro-death, the logical opposite of pro-life; I am not pro-abortion)
-Maintain traditional values in America and fight secularism to the fullest extent
-Halt the radical activities of activist judges
-Cut back on welfare to give it only to those that need it, not to those that abuse it

There are other things, too, but that's all I can think of right now.

I don't fit into any of your narrow-minded pop-media-induced, neo-politically-correct pigeonhole straightjacket labels.

[Leo Wyatt]

Republican-conservative

I believe in God

I don't believe in abortion at no risks.

I believe in leadership that doesn't negotiate with terrrorists

I believe in letting gays have rights but not to marry.

That's it for now.

[Founder]

Can anyone tell me what that last ideology is? "Ecologism"?

[CJ Cregg]

from what i gather its the radical end of the green movement. i.e tree huggers

[Republican_Man]

It's just a fancy word for Environmentalism. See the Wikipedia article on it.

[WeAz]

I'm a strange mix. I'm liberal on issues like Gay marriage/abortion/taxes, but i have he republican view on thingslike border control, and militaryism.
