Do metal fans have a political leaning?

I've become more of an anarchist in recent years. Deep study of metaphysics and the occult has revealed how governmental systems have constructed sophisticated systems of enslavement.

Lowkey I really do not care the only time that I try to look into these things is if someone ask which most of the time ill give my opinion on that certain subject, but I've never been lenient on one certain side

As much as I'd love to say I'm centre-left, I'm probably just left  Socially, I'm very progressive, economically, I favor the Swedish model which is somewhat centre-left. I believe in education as a tool in shaping societies, not revolution, though.

I'll say center, which seems like a cop-out or fence-sitting answer, but there are things I am liberal about, and things I'm conservative about.  I haven't taken a political compass test in years, but I wouldn't be surprised if it leaned slightly right.  If I did one five years ago, I would have leaned more to the left. 

I still think a proportional system is the way to go, just not they system we have. And I have to own up- I did vote for it.

So... We had an election on 23 September. There was no outright winner. Because of our proportional system, the party which finished THIRD, with 7.5% of the vote, has been farting around deciding which of the two major parties it would go with.

The New Zealand First party is a one man party, which will die with it's leader, but until then, the stupid old fool has been holding the country to ransom while he decided which major party would offer him the biggest bribe. He finally decided tonight to go with the second placed Labour party (lefty, democrat, whatever you like). Immigration is going to be stopped, our economy is going to tank (the dollar dropped already), tax rates are going to go up, and we're going to become a third world country. Been nice knowing you all!

(Yes, I voted for the right. It shouldn't be that bad!)

Center-right, I suppose. Although I usually don't care about politics when it comes to things I enjoy, like metal.

While i used to despise poltiics and seek any means of escape possible, i realized that i was in fact giving away my power and relinquishing my responsibility to make the world the way i would like it to be Very true. Whatever your political perspective, as soon as you walk away thinking your vote doesn't count and can't change things for the better, you're disenfranchising yourself and leaving it to others to mould the world to their world-view. Recent events globally have shown that movements can gain momentum pretty quickly.

I guess if anything I would consider myself center-left. I don't pay much attention to politics though. I'm torn between being center-left and just being apathetic to it all.
