The last TV debate was time wasting. 11 candidates, 4 hours, motherhood statements everywhere.

 

[Vergennes]

Surprised.

A good democratic moment. But not to be done a second time !

I'm pulling for Macron despite not being wholly aligned with his ideology, but I'm not voting in French elections either. Le Pen can eat a butt and I don't know anything about anyone else.

...

Yeah, yeah, I'm a bloody leftist, I know.

Umm, I mean.

Macron 64%...

 

[AUz]

It's interesting...

Muslims on the forum are getting matched highest or second highest with Le Pen on consistent basis

Shows that generally Muslims are politically conservative/protectionist---but they hate it when they are on the receiving of their own preferred policies


But still, I'm routing for Macron! F*ck Le Pen.

Surprised.

Fillion 62% followed by Le Pen with 56% and Macron 55%...makes me to a right-left hippie, or something like that.

 

[Nilgiri]

Quelle surprise!

But so many of the questions I was thinking "it depends"...so I picked "neutral".

Like taxes on all imports? IT DEPENDS!

Glad the commie got 12% support from me hehe (is that the lowest for anyone that did this?). Thats still way too high!

But so many of the questions I was thinking "it depends"...so I picked "neutral".

Ah! Good, someone said it at last!

No offense to Verban but I thought you guys would
be able to decipher the methodology from taking the
test. As NilG points out, do you feel the answers you
gave where fixed in stone or do some depend on the
context?

Let me show that based on my Trotsko-Gaullist self-call :

On things pertaining to survival of the State, I'm hardcore
efficiency without compromise so for example on defence,
Compute what is needed for security, add for foreign policy
and give the forces the full amount, no less!
I'd score below right of NilG above ...

But then on liberties, I'm a great big fan of what's not forbidden
is allowed so that I'd be in the tiny space up and left of Poutou-
Arthaud and I can prove it ... Philippe Gros-Bisou said in that
second debate that he wants to outlaw firing peeps never ever!

​

I think people should be fired when incompetent, it's part of the
efficiency thing ... so that I actually protect one more liberty than
the red duo!!!


On all the rest, my answers depend on context. In America, I'd vote
to diminish defense budgets [ with caveat of spending those better ].

In fact, I have more than one nationality and vote very differently in
different places. I am the same guy, no split personality but different
political landscapes, choices and tasks to prioritize.

None of that was really found in this simple association test so that as
NilG ( though not using neutral, you SwitzerHund ), I had to answer
a notch or two away from my strict personal view on occasion.

No one should lose any sleep over where they scored.

Have a great night then, or nap, or day if you must, Tay.

 

[Vergennes]

François Fillon was floured during his arrival in one of his rally in Strasbourg. A person who was pretending to be a pro-Fillon activist,emptied a bag of flour on François Fillon. @Louiq XIV Damn,you Strasbourgeois !

BTW,it's not the only French politicial who was floured. We had Hollande.

Oh and it's not the first time a politician is floured in Strasbourg. There was also Valls some months ago.

Not easy being a French politician. Between those being egged,floured,'pied'....

 

[Taygibay]

Still lucky considering how they cheat;
could be a lot worse :

​

Just sayin', Tay.
