Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Foreign Policy › European Union
M>M Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
M>M Personal answerImmigrants should be required to either know or be working towards knowing at least one language relevant to the part of the country they intend to move to, whatever that language happens to be. |
Elections › Criminal Politicians
M>M Personal answerYes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence |
Immigration › Deporting Criminal Immigrants
M>M Personal answerAllow them the choice to serve out their sentence either here or elsewhere. |
the Economy › Equal Pay
M>M Personal answerYes, and businesses should be required to publish their salary ranges for each position |
Social › Abortion
M>M Personal answerPro-choice |
Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers
M>M Personal answerNo |
Social › Euthanasia
M>M Personal answerDeath is bad. Encourage cryonic suspension instead. |
Social › LGBT Adoption Rights
M>M Personal answerYes, as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples |
the Economy › Taxes
M>M Personal answerYes, at time of writing I am fairly sure every country should raise taxes on the rich (of course, if I wasn’t fairly sure of that, this question would be impossible to reasonably answer given that I want my answers to make sense across different countries, since as far as I can tell this same question is being used for every country with the country name dynamically substituted, rather than using individual questions per country [for purposes of ongoingly testing this: I entered this answer on the France question]) |
Social › Death Penalty
M>M Personal answerNo |
Social › Gay Marriage
M>M Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Citizenship Test
M>M Personal answerNo, I am in general in favor of open borders. Also, citizenship tests very often turn out to contain bizarre and unnecessary questions. |
Immigration › EU Migrant Quota
M>M Personal answerThis question is ambiguous, it might be asking about requiring countries to allow in a certain minimum amount of migrants, or a certain maximum amount. I am in general in favor of removing barriers to migration. |
Foreign Policy › United States of Europe
M>M Personal answerThis question is underspecified, but for most plausible interpretations my answer is yes. |
Science › Nuclear Energy
M>M Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
M>M Personal answerNo, because I don’t believe such a policy can successfully avoid also unfairly restricting those who wish to leave that religion. |
Healthcare › Healthcare Privatization
M>M Personal answerLess, and there should be no privatization of the healthcare industry |
the Environment › Environmental Regulation
M>M Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Flag Burning
M>M Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Genetically Modified Foods
M>M Personal answerYes |
Elections › Right of Foreigners to Vote
M>M Personal answerYes, anyone who pays taxes should have the right to vote |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
M>M Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
M>M Personal answerWe should start providing a decent universal basic income, enough to live comfortably with no additional income, after which minimum wage laws will be unnecessary. |
the Economy › Government Spending
M>M Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Foreigner Mosque Funding
M>M Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Welfare
M>M Personal answerFewer, there should be no restrictions at all (this is called a UBI) |
Elections › Minimum Voting Age
M>M Personal answerYes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote |
Social › Animal Rights
M>M Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › Mental Health
M>M Personal answerThis is one of those relative questions that cannot reasonably be answered if you want to compare your stances with parties from multiple countries. I’m sure some countries have adequate mental health funding while others do not. |
Social › Assisted Reproductive Technology
M>M Personal answerYes |
Social › Gender Transition
M>M Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
M>M Personal answerNo, because very unfortunately the replacements are not good enough yet. |
Science › Mandatory Vaccinations
M>M Personal answerYes, the only exceptions should be people who are unable to be vaccinated for genuine medical reasons |
Elections › Elected Representatives
M>M Personal answerThis looks like one of those questions that needs to be clearly split by country. Some countries presumably have reasonable numbers of elected representatives, while others certainly have too many. |
Immigration › Dual Citizenship
M>M Personal answerYes |
Crime › Drug Trafficking Penalties
M>M Personal answerNo, I do not believe in the death penalty |
Domestic Policy › Government Surveillance
M>M Personal answerYes, this is necessary to combat terrorism |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
M>M Personal answerNo, service should be a choice instead of an obligation |
Foreign Policy › Military Spending
M>M Personal answerIn the interest of making my answers relevant to lots of different countries, I cannot reasonably answer this question, as an informed answer could easily be different depending on the country being asked about. Separately though, I don’t know enough about military spending levels to have an informed answer for this regardless. |
Foreign Policy › Central EU Agency
M>M Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
M>M Personal answerYes, for most but not all drugs |
Foreign Policy › Yemen
M>M Personal answerNo, and cut ties with Saudi Arabia until they end their human rights violations |
Social › Hate Speech
M>M Personal answerSpeech that incites violence should not be protected by freedom of speech laws. A well‐written law will say something like that instead of using the phrase “hate speech”. |
the Economy › Universal Wage
M>M Personal answerMaybe? Seems like this might be UBI under a different name, in which case certainly yes, but I’ve been unable to find clear enough information to know for sure. |
the Economy › Solidarity Tax
M>M Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Corporate Tax
M>M Personal answerRaise. I’m pretty sure every country ought to raise taxes on corporations (of course, if I wasn’t sure of that I wouldn’t be able to reasonably answer this question) |
National Security › Foreign Assassination
M>M Personal answerNo, they should be captured and given a fair trial |
Social › Women in Combat
M>M Personal answerYes |
Crime › Private Prisons
M>M Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › European Commission
M>M Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
M>M Personal answerNo, the government should not determine what is fake or real news |
Crime › Demilitarize the Police
M>M Personal answerNo, extreme situations should be handled by higher agencies with specialized training and equipment |
the Economy › Farm Subsidies
M>M Personal answerYes, but not for farms making unscientific claims about being “organic” and “natural”. |
the Economy › Economic Stimulus
M>M Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Fracking
M>M Personal answerNo |
Transportation › Public Transportation
M>M Personal answerYes, but only if the spending goes towards environmentally friendly solutions |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
M>M Personal answerIncrease |
the Economy › Domestic Jobs
M>M Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Animal Testing
M>M Personal answerYes |
Crime › Criminal Voting Rights
M>M Personal answerYes, every citizen deserves the right to vote |
National Security › Syria Travel Ban
M>M Personal answerEveryone who has ever been to Syria at any point? No, as worded this question is obviously ridiculous |
Healthcare › Marijuana
M>M Personal answerYes, and legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana instead of criminalizing it |
Healthcare › COVID Employment Health Pass
M>M Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Term Limits
M>M Personal answerNo, we already have term limits that are called “elections” |
Foreign Policy › EU Army
M>M Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Safe Haven
M>M Personal answerYes, drug abuse should be treated as a health issue, not a criminal issue |
Social › Transgender Athletes
M>M Personal answerYes, as long as they have been reasonably assessed to not have an unfair advantage due to being transgender |
Immigration › Skilled Immigrants
M>M Personal answerIncrease (but it would be better to just get rid of this restriction completely) |
the Economy › Universal Basic Income
M>M Personal answerYes |
Immigration › High Risk Immigrant Ban
M>M Personal answerNo, but immigrants from high risk countries should of course be carefully screened for the sake of preventing terrorism. |
Technology › Ethical Artificial Intelligence
M>M Personal answerYes |
Crime › Defunding the Police
M>M Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › North Korea Military Strikes
M>M Personal answerYes, we cannot risk the launch of a nuclear weapon |

Domestic Policy › Whistleblower Protection
M>M Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › European Union Countries
M>M Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Migrant Children
M>M Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Corporate Subsidies
M>M Personal answerNo, spend that money on improving infrastructure and the community to attract companies |
the Economy › Labor Unions
M>M Personal answerHelp |
Healthcare › Single-Payer Healthcare
M>M Personal answerYes, this system guarantees healthcare for everyone |
Crime › Prison Overcrowding
M>M Personal answerYes, but place them under house arrest using an electronic bracelet |
Foreign Policy › Post Brexit UK
M>M Personal answerYes |
Elections › Political Party Subsidies
M>M Personal answerYes, and funding should be proportional to the amount of votes they receive |
the Economy › Government Pensions
M>M Personal answerCreate a universal basic income, after which the concept of pensions becomes redundant |
Foreign Policy › Taliban Financial Aid
M>M Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › EU Authoritarian Sanctions
M>M Personal answerThe word “sanction” has two opposite meanings, making this question (as written at the time I’m writing this) able to be interpreted in two opposite ways. |
Elections › Campaign Finance
M>M Personal answerNo, and political campaigns should be publicly funded |
the Economy › Offshore Banking
M>M Personal answerYes, as long as offshore income is reported |

M>M Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Bonus Cap
M>M Personal answerYes |
Elections › Candidate Transparency
M>M Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Backstop
M>M Personal answerYes |

M>M Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Welfare Drug Testing
M>M Personal answerNo, there should be no restrictions on welfare at all |
Housing › Homeless Encampments

Healthcare › Vaccine Mandates for Customers
M>M Personal answerYes |
Elections › Mental competency testing
M>M Personal answerA mental competency test for all politicians sounds great, but to be actually good it would need to be decided on by a group more mentally competent than any politicians currently in charge anywhere. |
Foreign Policy › Ukraine and Nato
M>M Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Weapon Sales Ethics
M>M Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › COVID Mask Mandate
M>M Personal answerYes, except for certain medical conditions |

Transportation › Fuel Efficiency Requirements
M>M Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Marketing Unhealthy Products to Youth
M>M Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Decentralized Finance
M>M Personal answerNo, cryptocurrencies require huge amounts of computing and are currently a massive source of carbon emissions. It might eventually become a good idea once power generation has been fully decarbonized, but until then it is accelerating climate change, which does more than undo any other good it might otherwise be doing. |
Foreign Policy › Saudi Arabia and Iran
M>M Personal answerYes, we should always promote diplomatic peace talks during foreign conflicts |
Housing › High density residential buildings
M>M Personal answerYes |
Social › Frozen Embryos Legal Status

M>M Personal answerYes |

M>M Personal answerNo |
Transportation › Bicycles and Bike Lanes
M>M Personal answerYes |
Transportation › Electric Vehicle Mandates
M>M Personal answerYes, cars with carbon‐fueled engines should be phased out as soon as possible. (It is of course important for any laws about this to allow for different non‐carbon fuel types like hydrogen.) |
Transportation › Diesel Emission Standards
M>M Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Israeli Palestinian Conflict
M>M Personal answerKilling people is bad, religion is bad, terrorism is bad, Netanyahu is bad, Hamas is bad. Whenever Netanyahu and the rest of the Israeli right wing is voted out of power, there may be some hope for a peaceful resolution. (I’d list Hamas being deposed as a necessary component as well, but my understanding is there already is an alternative non‐terrorist government of Palestine). |
the Economy › Stock Buybacks
M>M Personal answerYes |
Transportation › Congestion Pricing
M>M Personal answerYes |
National Security › Cross-border Payments
M>M Personal answerGood idea in principle, but the OFAC is not the most trustworthy to make these decisions adequately. |
