Another Canadian political party siphoning off left-leaning voters.
Hey! I consider myself a small-c conservative, but I mostly support the ideas of the pirate party. Don't think they're just a bunch of lefties. Freedom isn't factional. I think the problem is we don't separate people's political/economic views from their social views. I believe that socialism belongs in..well... society. People should take care of each other, because they want to, because they think it's right, or whatever. But government should be more conservative. And I think there are many more like me. I'm really tired of this right vs left thing, and whether an idea or policy is right wing or left wing. You can believe in social socialism and political conservatism and economic liberalism without being inconsistent. A real conservative would believe in staying the hell out of the whole copyright mess anyways. And a real socialist would believe in legislating everything. So how did this get turned around? I just wish there was a conservative party to vote for that wasn't socially conservative.
