I am not good with these kind of things (I mean creating something on the comp). I've taken the most pressing issues in SA today, so take a go and see where you would fall.

It is not very easy, as South African, and African, politics do not fall into the traditional categories (Liberal means something totatly different here than in Europe and the US).

Another thing that makes it very very hard, is the fact that we are being ruled by an Umbrella party, who tries to be everything for everyone. So the mayor party can fall in all four categories, depending on what the issue is.

But still I think it is relatively accurate, from what some friends and I have tested it.


PS. Forgive the spelling errors, I will correct that soon!

You scored 67 Lib Democratic, 48 Pan-Africanist, 48 Nationalist, and 65 Afri-Socialist!

Liberal-Democrat - Somewhat resembles new-Labour in the UK, and will agree with the Democraitc party in the US in forgein matters, but with the Republican Party on Economic issues. Most white south Africans and rich Black South Africans support this group. You will most probably vote for the Democratic Alliance (12.37% of votes in last election, the main opposition) It is important to remember that the ruling ANC is an Umbrela party, and it ecomic policies will agree with this group, whilst it's forgein and social policies differs greatly. Pan-Africanist - You believe in an Africa for Africans. Everything colonial or western is bad. We should give more powersto traditional leaders, and would even feel comfortable in a one party state. You most probably vote Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (0.73% of votes in last election)or Azanian Peoples Orginization (0.25%). Nationalist - Also sometimes called Tribalists. This is a blanket term for different parties that believe each ethnic group should govern themsleves. You believe a Federal system where each group has say over most matters with a weaker central government is the way to go. This sentiment is most suported by some Afrikaners (White south Africans who ruled during Apartheid) and some Zulu's. You'll most probably vote Freedom Front Plus (0.89% in last election), Inkatha Freedom Party (6.97%), the Minority Front (0.35%) or the National Action (0.1%) Afri-Socialist - Close the Democratic-Socialism as seen in countries like Germany and Sweden, but with an African interpretation. One difference is that Afri-Socialist would be more for intervention in other countries than their European counterparts. As said before the ruling ANC descripes themselves as falling into this group, but it's economic principles differs greatly from other Afri-Socialists. Parties to vote for is ANC (69.69% in last election). This is the party you would vote for if your Liberal-Democrat and Afri-Socialist scores are close to one another. Other parties are the Independent Democrats (1.73%), The African Christian Democratic Party (1.6%) and the Socialist Party of South Africa (0.1%).

So would I vote for the Democratic Alliance?

Our parties seem not to truly corespond with yours. The DA finds itself somewhere between the Republicans and the Democrats.

They ar esort of Liberal Republicans, if that makes sense. Same strict fiscal policies than the Republicans, with a more Democrat way of looking at foreign policies and human rights.

Strange, isn't it. We like our parties like we like our food - fusion

Althought, I think you might also find a home in the African Christian Democratic party, but on the other hand, they might be a bit too puritan for you, and i figure you for believing in the seperation between church and state, so maybe not.

think most Republicans here would probably end up suporting the Nationalists or the DA, and that would be funny since their leader is a Jewish chap.

I myself used to support them when I was young (they where also the only party in the old parlaiment opposing Apartheid), but I am no longer there
