Portugal

Placement: Libertarian center-left

Unitary republic known for decriminalizing the use of all drugs in 2001, with a health-based rather than criminal approach.

In short

On the traditional scale, this country sits in the libertarian center-left camp. The clearest positions are on method: fairly towards “reform”; devolution: fairly towards “centralism”; society: fairly towards “progress”; justice: fairly towards “rehabilitation”. On religion, technology and democracy it stays balanced. Among ideologies, the closest is social liberalism (95%).
