Well, I'm all for personal freedom and personal responsibility, don't forget.
Despite what some would suggest in this forum, I'm my own person. I think for myself. And there are issues that each political party is wrong on and I'll say so.
Sure, there is always a negative way to look at it: people who fit into one party or the other well are brainwashed and people who don't just steal everyone else's ideas. I'm more optomistic and idealistic than that though.

There were several that I didn't like either. They seemed like leading questions or like the possible answers missed the point or were redundant. But I think that is done on purpose and there were questions like that in all directions. The results probably average out ok.
