The problem is, there are too many "single issue" parties to fit them all in a poll.

How does the Green party differ, politically, from socialists or social democrats?

Apolitical.

I used to subscribe heavily to left-wing ideologies and later anarchism. However, having met other people who shared my views, debated with those who didn't, having read mountains of political literature and of course the actions of corrupt individuals who get intoxicated on power at everybody's expense I've decided to abandon all political beliefs.

ALL politics, like religious power of old, is a new mass movement which has the power to brainwash and destroy rational thought, leading to the identical legacy that religion has left us with.

There are more important things to do with your life than delude yourself into thinking your actions and thoughts matter to a system which wants nothing to do with you and which you can't influence.

You don't matter.

I'm rarely persuaded by politics.

Hard-line Leninist/Stalinist/Maoist Communist, of course.

Rational anarchist,
which appears to be missing from the poll.

I think I'm heading in this direction too.
