GameytheGeemer 147 June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 I feel like they all would fall into the independent category of American politics, fighting for more government power but an actually non laughable means of checking the much more powerful singular authority. I.e. much closer to Equestrian http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/chain-mail-r4581 (Chain Mail) http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/silent-blade-r5285 (Silent Blade) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megas 27,564 June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 Twilight - Independent Applejack - Democrat Rarity - Republican Fluttershy - Too scary Rainbow Dash - Fuck politics Pinkie Pie - The fun party 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shy0wl 484 June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 It's hard to see them be involved in politics. I mean in Ponyville all they have is a mayor, and they never really interact with her for political reasons (except for that one IDW comic with Applejack and mayor mare, but I don't know how canon those are to the TV show.) If anything I'd say they are all unaffiliated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkieandsuch 38 June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 Twilight would probably be the only one to be interested in politics. I dont even know what party she would be in. 1 I hate people who are redundant and repeat themselves.- Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerKingBakudan 702 June 23, 2015 Author Share June 23, 2015 Man, I don't know what I was thinking making Rainbow Dash a Republican. I completely forgot that the radicals are homophobes, and she'd definitely be seen as a lesbian and ostracized for the rainbow colors alone. Guess it's Independent for her then. It's hard to see them be involved in politics.

If anything I'd say they are all unaffiliated. Being the first talking pony minority in the country, I think it'd be pretty hard for politics not to be involved with them. No questions asked.

Gearbox10mm 794 June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 I could see Fluttershy being on the far left side of the scale and Applejack on the opposite right side. The rest would fall in between somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
221BTardisSt 101 June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 Twilight- She'd probably be very politically involved, but also conservative, so I'd say Republican. Pinkie- She'd probably choose Democratic. Grumpy, old, white men don't seem to be her thing. Rainbow Dash- She wouldn't care that much, but would probably just throw in a Democratic ticket. Applejack- Conservative. A(pple)solutely. Rarity- I could see her being mixed. She would care more about the details of each candidate rather than the party. Fluttershy- Democratic, because of global warming or recycling policies or something like that. "Yeah, this post needs to be about 20% cooler."

Steel Accord 6,660 June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 Since Twilight has actually shown some political authority, I think she would be the only one directly involved in politics. Rainbow Dash works the equivalent of a public service so she'd likely be a registered blue collar democrat. Rarity and Applejack are both business owners so they would likely favor small government sides. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie are harder to place. Fluttershy would probably be an environmentalist and Pinkie Pie would almost certainly be independent, her exact position changing with no set pattern.

Guest June 25, 2015 Share June 25, 2015 (edited) Since politics is never actively discussed in the show, I just like think of them all sort of in-the-middle, pro equal rights, pro abortion, pro gay marriage, anti-gun, for better tax regulations. So really i'm just projecting my own political beliefs onto them at this point. Edited June 25, 2015 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's almost like being anti-magic. 1 No questions asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Down Trotten 300 July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 A better question to ask. (If I may be so bold) Would they go for democracy? I mean the they have lived with in some form of duel Monarchy their whole lives. And while politics aren't mentioned in show directly, the hierarchy of things is implied. (another topic for another time maybe?...). But to idenitfy each of them with a typical party?

Shanks 10,816 July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 Applejack- libertarian with a few social conservative views on some issues. Applejack is not one for BS and would likely mistrust politicians and major authorities. The ideas of independence from an intrusive government as swell as limited government spending would probably appeal to Applejack. Twilight Sparkle- independent with some liberal economic leanings and a bit in the middle with social issues. Rainbow Dash- probably wouldn't care. Pinkie Pie- probably also wouldn't care. Rarity- a fairly middle of the road republican or possibly also a libertarian leaning centrist. Fluttershy- democratic socialist, she has that hippie vibe to her and I could see her favoring strong action on environmental and certain economic issues. A better question to ask. (If I may be so bold) Would they go for democracy? I mean the they have lived with in some form of duel Monarchy their whole lives. And while politics aren't mentioned in show directly, the The political spectrum dosen't just apply to democratic political systems but also more old fashioned ones like a monarchy for example or on the more extreme end dictatorships. Equestria most likely has some democratic aspects though likely making it a constitutional diarchy. Rarity Get's Cockroaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyNamedEarl 1,332 July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 Considering they've lived in a monarchy of Celstia they probably wouldn't be involved in democracy.
