I'm especially interested about political preferences among our autistic world community, so i make this little survey of my.

I wonder how many apsies, identified with the right wing parties like (American Republican Party(GOP) British Consentire Party(Tories)) and who support left-wing(liberals) like (American Democratic Party, British Labour Party)

Kinda a centrist. Maybe more left wing? I tend to side with democrats more than republicans, so I voted that way.

You could say I generally lean to the left, but there's a lot more to it than that. The traditional left-wing/right-wing dichotomy is heavily flawed and it comes nowhere close to describing all the different political perspectives out there.

Im a Centrist. Felt like the Social Democratic model worked well until recently in Europe.

Would advocate Social Democracy but with diligent national security. And some conservative economic features.

Political Philosophy in the sphere of theoretical orientation: Emparialist Republicanism
General Category in Nolan style two dimensional political categorization: Moralist Communitarian
Political Orientation in the left-right wing model: nothing, because does show any substance to the political leanings of a person like me.

Liberaltarian

I sometimes feel like a weird mix of Ron Paul and Ralph Nader influences.

my views on what is ideal are largely detached from my views on what should be done in the real world. i'm a pragmatist. generally speaking, left and right seem equally impractical to me

I am a centrist. I disagree with both sides about a lot of things and agree with both sides about a lot of things. In fact, last year in school we did a fun little test where you answer questions about your political views and it tells you where you are on the political spectrum, it put me almost exactly in the center. OP, if you still can edit your post you should add "centrist" as an option because it seems to be popular here.

I like it.

I always just called myself a left-libertarian, but now I have a new word for it!

I'm a socialist. That puts me on the far-left and I wouldn't have it any other way. The Democratic Party (US) is a fraudulent "left" smoke screen, they represent the liberal wing of capitalism and generally should not be seen as anything close to a left-wing party.

I generally lean toward the conservative right however as of recently I have begun to transform myself into a anarchist who has a distrust of the state.

I'm a Socialist. So I'm really left-wing.
