Contrary to what you are implying, this is actually going far better than I had thought.
Collectively speaking?

Is that like that bit in the third Pirates of the Carribean flick where the Pirates have an all out brawl?
No I wasn't been sarcastic, I'm actually quite satisfied that this didn't ....
Well if I tell you what I hope doesn't happen, then somebody will try to replicate it.

When fascism is winning I don't see how that is 'working'.
The truth is a lot of people here are not even at the legal voting age. Add to that this is the internet and people can lie and choose whatever they think is funny, well....fascism...
I have yet to vote yet since I haven't seen a candidate I would likely vote for in my area and don't feel like wasting my time when I know anything they do won't effect me in the slightest.
Political ideologies cannot win nor lose and the purpose of this thread isn't to have any given ideology 'win', but I'm more than willing to become a fascist
if fascist arguments are 'good'.
If you are concerned that because forumites are too young to take politics seriously, then it would make even more sense, given that the younger you expose someone to ideas and concepts, the easier they are to grasp when they are older.
When I voted for the first time last year, I just picked all the liberal candidates over the conservative candidates under the reasoning that I would rather see liberals than conservatives and that my vote was 'canceling out' my ideological opposite.

To be honest, I want to go there just because I can.
But then again, I haven't ever voted either. Reading through the fine print just takes too much time to bother.
I was a bit disappointed by how voting was done actually. There is a lot of attention on the head of state, but the majority of the votes you give are to local representatives that you have never heard of. The only indication you have of who to vote for is a name and political party, which was practically worthless to me.

Which one is the "hang all politicians" label?
Anarchist, also fascist, communist too, well conservatives, and liberal. All of them actually, but the only one wanting to prevent politicians is anarchism, or at least that part itself is anarchistic.
If that's your first priority/want in politics, that would be 'Anarchist' in the poll in my mind.
