Just one question: is ET a left-wing liberal site?

In European political context, liberal tends to be the stated ideology of small, urban, junior parties of the right that are seriously drunk on neoliberal brew. And the big right wing party often calls their own ideology liberal-conservative.

And if not what party or parties are generally supported here

Well, I am a card carry member of the swedish pirate party.

Starvid is (or at least was at a time) a member of the swedish liberal party. Which is on the right on the swedish political spectrum and probably to the left of the US political spectrum.

Greens tend to get support here for their insight that raw materials are not endless and that much waste does not disappear when dropped in nature. Reconstructed socialist parties like Die Linke tends to get support in their views on foreign adventures.

Social democrats tend to be bemoaned because they are the big parties of the left but almost always choose the "Serious" solution to economic problems. That the "social" is short for socialist is forgotten. Old style communists tends to be stuck in a sort of industrial nostalgia.

The big right party (conservative/christian democrats/Berlusconi) is usually seen as the political arm of the upper class and so ideologically drunk that they are not even in support of the upper class long term interests. Loot-and-burn types.

Individual politicians tend to be appreciated when they happen to say something sane that goes against the mainstream insanity.
