I was chatting with my mates over (a lot of) wine about politics, when they said that since the recession began I have changed my political views a lot. I used to be rather capitalist and libertarian and they pointed out that it was only about 2 years ago that I was like that, it's bizarre. I remember not talking about politics a lot when I was younger, and I have changed since then as I've become more vocal about it. I think I used to be 95% capitalist and 5% socialist, now I think it's more 80% capitalist and 20% socialist. Anyway, they think the reccession changed my views.

Anyway, I thought I would share that with you as many of you would find it interesting lol.

I haven't changed my views that much, but I have noticed that the number of Democrats I agree with (in general) has been drastically reduced because their views have changed so drastically ...

18 to 24 months ago most Democrats would agree that it was a problem for the government to increase its power and influence, while propping up companies for political reasons and running record deficits; and today they all disagree ...
