Default Christian Democrat - Republican

Hi I`m from the Netherlands. I am 18 and interested in politics.

I'm a member of the Dutch Christian-democratic party and if I was a US citizen I would definitely be a Republican because my party is a centrist party, with conservative leanings.

Oh yeah and I would like to have a Republican on my MSN to talk politics with.

Here is my email if someone want to to add me : ikweettniet@hotmail.com

Are you a member of Christian Democratic Appeal?

If so, you'd be a centrist Republican or a conservative Democrat. A centrist Republican is roughly the same thing as a conservative Democrat, although it bears noting that the Republican spectrum runs from *extremely* conservative to centrist and stops; no liberals there. The Democratic spectrum -- thanks to the recent elections, which saw quite a few conservative Democrats elected -- is slightly wider, from *extremely* liberal to mild conservatism.

In either case, you'd be a bit lonely in your party. Most Republicans would be more conservative (some *far* more conservative) than you. Most Democrats would be more liberal (some *far* more liberal) than you.
