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. |

Healthcare › Healthcare Privatization
M>M Personal answerLess, and there should be no privatization of the healthcare industry |

M>M Personal answerYes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence |
the Economy › Corporate Tax
M>M Personal answerThe tax rate for corporations should be reasonably high |
the Economy › VAT Rates
M>M Personal answerThis question almost certainly has a different correct answer depending on the country. In general, VAT should be high on things with negative externalities such as coal, oil, and gas, and decently high on luxury goods, and there should not be any VAT on essentials like medicine. |
Science › Mandatory Vaccinations
M>M Personal answerYes, the only exceptions should be people who are unable to be vaccinated for genuine medical reasons |

the Economy › Four-day Workweek
M>M Personal answerYes |
Science › Genetic Engineering
M>M Personal answerYes |
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 answerYes, there is too much fake news and misinformation on social media |

the Economy › Government Spending
M>M Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Animal Testing
M>M Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › European Commission
M>M Personal answerNo |
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 › Foreign Elections
M>M Personal answerYes, but only to protect the country from human rights violations by a tyrannical ruler |
the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
M>M Personal answerNo, because very unfortunately the replacements are not good enough yet. |

Elections › Candidate Transparency
M>M Personal answerYes |
Elections › Mental competency testing
M>M Personal answerA mental competency test for all politicians sounds great, but to be actually good it would need to be decided on by a group more mentally competent than any politicians currently in charge anywhere. |
the Economy › Offshore Banking
M>M Personal answerYes, as long as offshore income is reported and taxed |
Science › Nuclear Energy
M>M Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Single-Payer Healthcare
M>M Personal answerYes, this system guarantees healthcare for everyone |
the Economy › Government Pensions
M>M Personal answerCreate a universal basic income, after which the concept of pensions becomes redundant |
Technology › Data Privacy
M>M Personal answerYes |
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. |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
M>M Personal answerImmigrants should be required to either know or be working towards knowing at least one language relevant to the part of the country they intend to move to, whatever that language happens to be. |
Immigration › Citizenship Test

M>M Personal answerNo |
Elections › Campaign Finance
M>M Personal answerNo, and political campaigns should be publicly funded |

Foreign Policy › European Union Countries
M>M Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Bonus Cap

the Economy › Tariffs
M>M Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Dual Citizenship
M>M Personal answerYes |

M>M Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Genetically Modified Foods
M>M Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Ukrainian Defense Funding

M>M Personal answerYes |
Crime › Defunding the Police
M>M Personal answerYes |
Crime › Criminal Voting Rights
M>M Personal answerYes, every citizen deserves the right to vote |

Housing › Homeless Encampments
M>M Personal answerGive everyone a good enough UBI and the problem of homelessness should go away. |
Foreign Policy › Backstop
M>M Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Surcharge Ban
M>M Personal answerYes, all costs for a service should be included in the final purchase price |
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 non‐terrorist government of Palestine). |

Domestic Policy › Net Neutrality
M>M Personal answerNo, treat all traffic equally and continue the openness of the internet |
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. |
the Environment › EV Subsidies
M>M Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Post Brexit UK
M>M Personal answerYes |
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. |
Social › Frozen Embryos Legal Status
M>M Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › EU Army
M>M Personal answerYes |

Transportation › Fuel Efficiency Requirements
M>M Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Cryptocurrency
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. |
Technology › Self Hosted Digital Wallets
M>M Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › AI Warfare Ethics
M>M Personal answerNo, AI capability research is incredibly dangerous even without mixing in military weaponry. All AI capability research should be stopped until such time as we are able to align an AI with human values. |
