I want to know where Mandami fits compared to my own nation's political left-right spectrum, going through his stances and theirs, how do I go about it? (lemmy.ml)

Now I know a country is not the same as a city, but my country, the Netherlands, is small and densily populated, so maybe they're somewhat comparable?

I hear Mandami is considered from extreme-left to what he professes himself as democratic socialist, which to me would mean left-wing. I however keep pushing every US politician one or two positions to the right, but that's just vibes. So I would like to compare his stances to at least five political parties from my country, but where do I start?

Should I post an ask Lemmy on each topic how they compare to Mandami starting with housing? Because I would imagine the stances of each party on just one topic would already make quite a long post.

[edit]

I'll try and make several posts on this subject.

You could just look up articles on his policies - given his high profile status, they're all over right now.

Hmmmm.... those are articles about him.

Does Zoltan have a written election program?
Perhaps by the tone of language I might be able to better tell on what wavelength Mandami is,
compared to the Dutch political parties.

Although I will have to adjust the translation a bit,
to retain the type of language used,
so for example I adjust the translation
in order to keep the language strong,
where strong language is used.

I'll post an example..

Extreme/Far-right stance on housing (first paragraph)

Our housing crisis keeps getting worse and worse.  
While the Constitution tells us that the government must provide a sufficient amount of housing,  
the reality is that an increasing number of Americans can't afford a roof over one's head.  
This US government completely failed.
