Politics

I am a liberal. I believe in individual freedom and limited government. I think government should provide internal and external security (police and army) and ensure that each citizen has basic necessities to survive (food and a place to live) and has access to basic health care and basic education. Outside of that, government should not interfere with individual`s life.

(More precisely, I`m somewhere between classical liberal (or libertarian) and social liberal. Term "Softcore Libertarian" might be close. My score on World`s Smallest Political Quiz: Personal Self-Government 100%, Economic Self-Government 80%.)

Some miscallaneous points:

Government should not grant monopolies, privileges or subsidies to any particular company, industry, organization or religious group.
Law should not contain victimless crimes.
Direct democracy is better than representative democracy.
Even the best of democracies is still tyranny by majority. Where possible, decisions should be made individually rather than collectively.

Organizations

Election methods

Kalle Mikkolan STV-vaalijärjestelmäsivu (mostly fi): Nykyään eduskuntavaaleissa käytetty d`Hondtin vaalijärjestelmä on oikeastaan aika huono: ehdokkaalle annettu ääni saattaa pahimmassa tapauksessa myötävaikuttaa ihan väärän henkilön valintaan. STV (Single Transferable Vote)-vaalijärjestelmä on yksi ehdotus paremmaksi vaihtoehdoksi.
Voting system-page in Wikipedia: Plenty of information about different voting systems.
Äänestämisen ongelmia (fi): Veli Peltolan artikkeli tiedelehti Seepiassa.
