Thanks for the invite, but I can't come to the party, none of these particular words move me in any way without context. None of these particular words come across to me as having a bias without context. They are all benign.

I am partial to Democratic and Movement but that is a biased opinion. <img align=absmiddle src='images/smilies/cool.gif' alt='Cool'>

[QUOTE BY= CNFnews] I would like to invite everyone to complete a little survey on political diction. <br /> <br />There are two categories of words. Can people please share which words would be their [b]top three[/b] from [b]each category[/b], based on which seem more appealing and less biased to one side of the spectrum or the other. <br /> <br />a rating from 1(being the best) to 3 for each category <br /> <br />1. <br />Sovereign <br />Reform <br />Liberty <br />Justice <br />Review <br />Nationalist <br />Democratic <br />Progressive <br /> <br />2. <br />Alliance <br />Coalition <br />Movement <br />Federation <br />Action <br />Organisation <br />Council[/QUOTE] <br /> <br /> <br />Here you go: <br /> <br />List A: 1 - Sovereign <br /> 2 - Progressive <br /> 3 - Justice <br /> <br />List B: 1 - Coalition <br /> 2 - Federation <br /> 3 - Organization <br /> <br /> <br />

Hey don't get to hung up on words. You're judged by your actions, not your name, right? Actually no, not in Canada. For example, the "enlightened" youth we are always talking about seem to identify themselves with Liberals based on the party's name, more than anything else. This is just from my own experience. Don't start ragging on me for being a youth hater, as is usually done when someone points out we are not all we're cracked up to be. Sorry for being the pessimist here, but we've taken apathy (not to mention political correctness) to new extremes when we care so much about words.

The word "liberal" and the colour red win big. <br /> <br />If marketing were not worth anything, they wouldn't spend millions on strategists.....political techniques can work....and aren't they just giving people what they want? People want a slick party--which is one reason the NDP is still bouncing back.
