Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › Abortion
M>M Personal answerPro-choice |
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 › 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) |
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]) |
Domestic Policy › Government Surveillance
M>M Personal answerYes, this is necessary to combat terrorism |
Foreign Policy › European Union
M>M Personal answerNo |
Social › Gay Marriage
M>M Personal answerYes |
Social › LGBT Adoption Rights
M>M Personal answerYes, as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples |
the Economy › VAT Rates
M>M Personal answerThis question probably has a different correct answer depending on the country |
the Economy › Domestic Jobs
M>M Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › Healthcare Privatization
M>M Personal answerLess, and there should be no privatization of the healthcare industry |

M>M Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Single-Payer Healthcare
M>M Personal answerYes, this system guarantees healthcare for everyone |
Social › Death Penalty
M>M Personal answerNo |
Science › Mandatory Vaccinations
M>M Personal answerYes, the only exceptions should be people who are unable to be vaccinated for genuine medical reasons |
Foreign Policy › EU Army
M>M Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Universal Basic Income
M>M Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Economic Stimulus
M>M Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Deporting Criminal Immigrants
M>M Personal answerAllow them the choice to serve out their sentence either here or elsewhere. |
the Economy › Government Pensions
M>M Personal answerCreate a universal basic income, after which the concept of pensions becomes redundant |
Social › Gender Transition
M>M Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Term Limits
M>M Personal answerNo, we already have term limits that are called “elections” |
Foreign Policy › United States of Europe
M>M Personal answerThis question is underspecified, but for most plausible interpretations my answer is yes. |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
M>M Personal answerNo, service should be a choice instead of an obligation |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
M>M Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
M>M Personal answerNo, the government should not determine what is fake or real news |
the Economy › Government Spending
M>M Personal answerNo |
Elections › Criminal Politicians
M>M Personal answerYes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence |
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. |
the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
M>M Personal answerNo, because very unfortunately the replacements are not good enough yet. |
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. |
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. |
Elections › Minimum Voting Age
M>M Personal answerYes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote |
Healthcare › Safe Haven
M>M Personal answerYes, drug abuse should be treated as a health issue, not a criminal issue |
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. |
Social › Euthanasia
M>M Personal answerDeath is bad. Encourage cryonic suspension instead. |
Foreign Policy › Israel
M>M Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Labor Unions
M>M Personal answerHelp |
Social › Hate Speech
M>M Personal answerSpeech that incites violence should not be protected by freedom of speech laws. A wellāwritten law will say something like that instead of using the phrase “hate speech”. |

Foreign Policy › Ukraine and Nato
M>M Personal answerYes |
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. |
the Economy › Welfare

Immigration › Dual Citizenship
M>M Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Welfare Drug Testing

the Environment › Genetically Modified Foods
M>M Personal answerYes |
Social › Student Diversity Training
M>M Personal answerYes |

M>M Personal answerYes, every citizen deserves the right to vote |
Social › Teacher and Faculty Diversity Training
M>M Personal answerYes |

M>M Personal answerNo |
Healthcare › World Health Organization
M>M Personal answerYes |

M>M Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
M>M Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Cryptocurrency
M>M Personal answerNo |
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. |

M>M Personal answerNo, treat all traffic equally and continue the openness of the internet |
Science › CRISPR Technology
M>M Personal answerYes |
Housing › Green Spaces
M>M Personal answerYes |
Transportation › Electric Vehicle Mandates
M>M Personal answerYes, cars with carbonāfueled engines should be phased out as soon as possible. (It is of course important for any laws about this to allow for different nonācarbon fuel types like hydrogen.) |
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. |
Transportation › Fuel Efficiency Requirements
M>M Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Gaza ceasefire
M>M Personal answerYes |
Crime › Criminal Justice Use of AI
M>M Personal answerNo |
National Security › Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Defense

M>M Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Netanyahu Leadership
M>M Personal answerNo |
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 nonāterrorist government of Palestine). |
