Next year, can we have "something sort of like left-libertarianism-ist" on the big politics question. I think that there are many people here (myself included) that do not know how to categorize ourselves politically, but know that we have a lot in common with Yvain.

Why don't you want to round "something sort of like left-libertarianism-ist" off to left-libertarian, which is the closest thing on the big list?

I actually do not think it is very close to left-libertarian at all. I am very curious what Yvain answers for this question.

Yes, having read (or rather reread) the blog post by Yvain that you linked to, I agree, it is pretty different —so different that the title of that blog post is rather misleading! I like ‘liberaltarian’ for that, but Yvain said in his blog post that he doesn't like that term (which would explain why it's not an option in the survey).
