Political Party Research:
Independent/Moderate (Modern Whig Party). I was attracted to this party because it is the one I identify with the most. I took the Political Party Quiz and overall my political values were close to that of an Independent, and I am not too heavily opinionated on many issues, I’m open to hearing others’ views, so I like that this party is not very one-sided on the spectrum.

The Moderates/Modern Whig Party is not very drastically opinionated one way or another on most issues, they are just trying to make a happy-medium that works the best for everyone, and with what they support and advocate for I believe they are doing a good job in showing their beliefs and representing what their party stands for while helping with the changes that need to be made.
