C. Mostly state-operated with private schools funded in part by tax refund vouchers given to parents who opt-out of public schools

C. State-operated facilities exist only for essential care, with private healthcare forming the majority of the system, funded in part by the state for poorer citizens only

D. Military for national defence and limited overseas peacekeeping deployments in conjunction with legitimate international authorities. Compulsory service for several years for all able citizens.

B. Taxation is reduced and public spending is limited. Government only provides services which cannot be reasonably provided by the public sector.

B. Free market with limited government intervention for anti-trust and monopoly regulation. Restrictions on trade only with certain countries for political purposes such as human right abuses or authoritarian government

B. The government should control certain protected areas of land and regulate what can be done within them but private land can be used for whatever purpose by the owner except where human rights or health are threatened.

B. Government welfare should be kept to a minimum of making everyone earn a minimum wage and covering additional needs by certain people (disabilities, illness).

C. The purpose of justice is both to rehabilitate criminals where they can be and punish them for their actions. Only some criminals can be rehabilitated; certain crimes are 'irredeemable' and those criminals should never be allowed back into the community. Death penalty permitted. (Note: I do not believe they should be 'punished' I think society should be protected from them) 

A. Civil liberties such as freedom of speech and privacy are above all other concerns. The government should protect these rights whenever possible and punish corporations who contravene this.

A. Discrimination on any grounds is illegal.

B. Proportional representation Democracy –  All legislative bodies contain elected representatives directly based on the proportion voting for each party.

D. All drugs are classified by a government body. Classifications range from “Illegal except for medical use” through to “Unrestricted”, with varying levels of regulation. Nicotine-based products are restricted to personal use by adults and only sold through licensed businesses. Note: This is intended to approximate the US or UK system. Option C is intended to be a more liberal version of that system with only specific, nominated drugs being put forward for classification.

E.  All drugs are classified as “Illegal except for medical use” to “Unrestricted”, with varying levels of regulation.  Nicotine-based products are illegal.

B. It is the absolute right of any citizen to carry a firearm if they wish, but it must be concealed in public spaces and certain types of firearm are regulated

D. Illegal with exception for maternal life or health, or cases of rape

C. Immigration  must be officially approved at given entry points and is controlled through work permits and quotas. Immigrants are not given immediate citizenship; one must apply to become a citizen and prove employment and sufficient length of time spent in country.

A. With exceptions for human rights abuses (e.g. torture), the government has no right to interfere in sexual relations between any consenting adults. Pornography of any sort is unrestricted except for when it depicts actual human rights abuses. Note: “Actual” abuses are defined as acts which are actually happening. Material which uses actors, computer graphics or otherwise which only suggests the illegal act is permitted.

D.  Mostly state-operated with private schools funded entirely by parents

D.  Mostly state-operated with private healthcare funded entirely by patients

C. Military for national defence and limited overseas peacekeeping deployments in conjunction with legitimate international authorities. No compulsory service.

C. Taxation is moderate and government provides a lot of services that the public sector could provide in the interests of fairness and consistency

A. Completely free market. No restrictions on trade.

B. The government should control certain protected areas of land and regulate what can be done within them but private land can be used for whatever purpose by the owner except where human rights or health are threatened.

C. Government welfare is to the sections of society that need it (state pension, disability benefit, unemployment benefit, child benefit) and to give incentives for nationally-benefiting behaviour.

E. The purpose of justice is to punish people to the fullest extent possible and keep criminals away from the public to prevent further crime.  Death penalty permitted.

B. Civil liberties are important, but in some circumstances the government may temporarily reduce them to protect the majority e.g. wire-tapping a suspect when court approval is obtained or detaining terrorists without charge to protect national security. Note: You don't have to agree with the specific examples; you just have to agree with the sentiment that there are some circumstances where civil liberties can be temporarily reduced.

C.  Discrimination on some grounds is not controlled by law, but other grounds are; for example one or several of: age, gender, sexual orientation, religion (or lack of), ethnic group, country of origin, family status, body size/shape.

C. Plurality-voting Democracy – All legislative bodies contain elected representatives. In each division of a country (e.g. state/county) every citizen votes for a person to get that seat; that person then sits in the legislative body. Note: This is the US system.

C. Some drugs are chosen to be classified by a government body. Classifications range from “Illegal except for medical use” through to “Unrestricted”, with varying levels of regulation. 

C. Citizens may carry firearms as long as they are registered, and they are subject to regulation on sale, concealment, use and types allowed

C. Illegal with exception for maternal life or health, cases of rape, or incurable foetal health problems 

D. Immigration is subject to strict selection. Immigrants must prove themselves of value to a country before being permitted to live or work there. 

A. With exceptions for human rights abuses (e.g. torture), the government has no right to interfere in sexual relations between any consenting adults. Pornography of any sort is unrestricted except for when it depicts actual human rights abuses. Note: “Actual” abuses are defined as acts which are actually happening. Material which uses actors, computer graphics or otherwise which only suggests the illegal act is permitted.

Communism is economic conservative /  social conservative.



1)Education


Not on the list.


I believe in state and national funding... but run through the states.  No national curriculem.  Let all states and schools decide what they believe is worth teaching.  Those who do well will do better.  Those those who do poorly will imitate those who do good, will come up with ways to make there plans work or fall behind until they are willing to change.

This will lead to unfortunite short term classes and teachings... but these will be corrected by itself.
