What is your political ideology?

I didn't see her scoresheet?

As far as I can tell she is pretty much a classical liberal.

Although quite a lot fo left wing philosophy has its routes in that... The real Adam Smith contradicts a lot of what the modern neoliberal and neoconservative right say/do even though he is their poster boy.

:dontknow:

The y axis is the more important axis of the political compass imo.

I don't like the word "neoliberal", which, as you said, has nothing to do with Liberalism. Neocon or Reaganomics are more accurate.

Reagan or Bush still intervened in the economy when it suited them - especially in the oil and military industries, and they weren't socially liberal at all.

I;m the closest to the greens... I feel terrible rn.

I got a similar position to you, but my views have almost nothing in common with the Greens, I guess if the Greens had reasonable leadership maybe we'd support them
