What Political Ideology Are You?

I dislike the description:

Classical Liberal/Libertarian

It's a misnomer, joining two things together that are mutually incompatible - I would call it CLASSICAL right of centre..........

...and leave the liberal description out - for me being liberal stinks of left wing socalism in a different guise.

CLASSICAL right of centre is where I see myself, and UKIP

They are very different but not for the reasons given. It is only modern 'social' liberalism that has gone down the socialist route. When people talk of classical liberalism they are specifically excluding the modern corrupted version.

Agreed! Right of centre is where I see myself. (others might not agree!)

Stop using the left-right axis. It is a mental tool used to divide people. Divide et Impera.

Libertarian!

The word was invented to avoid using the word Liberal 'cause it got poisoned by the socialists.

Minarchists of the World unite!

(Let's face it, the lefties have got hold of "Libertarian" now, what with "Neolibertarianism", "Left-libertarianism" and "Green libertarianism". I'd like to see them twist Minarchist, since minimal government is implied in the name itself.)

Thats a tricky one - the left would say the word was derived from anarchists and then blame us for all the ills of the world.

I still like classical... hows about combining it with architect to indicate builders...or re-builders/creators

ermmm ... Archicals - classicarchs - ermmm

Who can make the best sounding word from these letters:
