What Is This Political Position?

Not all progress runs at the same rate, gender related progress has perhaps been moving rather fast for the religious orthodox, but as always they will catch up.

as for a democratic monachy, it is a well established system that works very well in practice.
Though not as strange as the old Irish kings which were always elected as absolute monarchs.

However I would never exchange our Sysyem with the American presedential one.
Which runs the administratin but is thwarted at every turn by the elected houses. And can contemplate candidates like Trump.
No it doesn't work. The Monarch is useless and impotent. I'd either have rather a republic or a monarch. I'm not into compromise...

Tenterden was once a Liberal town and borough. Until the 70's it had an independant council. Since then it has been staunchly blue. For my sins and for many years I was the local Liberal chairman and we never achieved more than 30% of the vote. Which included many local professionals. But the forelock pulling locals and squires were in the majority.
Most interesting.....
Canterbury had a Liberal Council back in the late 70's or early 80's, I seem to remember, but it's been blue for a long time now.

I do wish (in vain) for more (successful) independant politicians in parliament, and even a strong third/fourth party. Our politics seems to be stunted, worn out, wilted. Oh well......

I'm not even specifically talking about gender here. I'm talking about, say, mentally slow people not being equal with normal people, or dwarves not being equal (put them in military combat?), or rape (sadly) being a legitimate evolutionary way for a man to reproduce, but a woman (out in the wild) cannot force herself upon a man in this fashion. Gays csannot reproduce, straights can, so gays are an evolutionary dead end, unfavoured. Schizophrenics are unequal because they cannot perceive reality, and so on and so on.

There is no equality in nature. Only on paper.

Society is about survival of the people and the culture.

Your views are indeed out of the past. There is always more than one way of looking at things. Even in war dwarves and short miners served digging tunnels for explosives under german lines.
The lates games have shown how the disabled have shone in various sports.
Marriage between same sex couples puts less strain on our population and services such as schools and midwifery.
The educationally backward have always been able to find useful work . In my last position we employed a mentally disabled print finisher. True he was slow to learn but when he had, he was a perfectionist, and put some of the others to shame.
Throughout the thousands of generations of evolution and what ever attempts of people like the nazis to exterminate them, the disabled are still with us in undeminished numbers.
God did not say we shold love everyone except the disabled, poor or those with a differnt sexuality... he commanded us to love one anothe ...with out exception...including sinners.
As for mental problems...scientist, doctors, teachers, nurses soldiers and people in all walks of life get serious mental health issues. It can strike any one at any time including you or I. It is no way a sub class of people of no worth.

I guess you have strange, higher view of humanity than I do.

Also reproduction is the goal, to keep the race/species/whatever going and society going further. Would we have reached this stage if we were all at their level? People with, say, Downs', have loads of problems (weight gain, hole in the heart, etc.) and are a strain on healthcare, for instance. They do not function like normals, they don't help us further ourselves and they cost money. Why that when you could have a normal child?

Anyway, at risk of being called lots of names and added to lots of ignore lists, and also being at loggerheads and stubborn, I'll close here and say: my views have been heard, I'm a Fascist :D

Our Queen? Useless?
Wish that you could have her record of devotion to her duty and country?
She still holds down an immensely heavy and tough job, over thirty years after most women would have retired. And she used to ride on her horse, high up for all to see when in public functions and processions, when most of the World's leaders would be scurrying behind their protective screens. I don't know how she survived so long.

Our Monarchy beats the blazes out of Republics like the US and others..... look at the mess they are in....

And if Charles would pass this Monarchy straight on to his eldest son then we might actually keep it going. :p

This sounds like Baathism (Arab Socialist Islamic Federalism).

But is the point of the OP that these are your positions and want to guess your affiliation? Maybe not.

But the description in the OP indeed is eerily approximate to Baathism.

Viz:

1. Support of free healthcare

* Baathists talk the politics of this i.e. "support" but never have the finance or time to pay for it and spend most of their funds enriching their political elite, dictators, nepotism and family, and killing their enemies...

... free education ...

* Yes, and all the free education for the kids, teens et all is about how wonderful the Supreme Commander is. This includes women getting educated for free about the benefits of an authoritarian central government.

...free university tuition...

* Yes, you can get a univerity education tuition free learning how to make nukes or gas or bio or other weapons for the Supreme Commander. And mining gold or oil for the same, and artisans who get university education tuition free on how to make golden toilet seats as art for the Supreme Commander.

...foodbanks, welfare etc... * For all the relatives of the "good people"... and everybody gets bread and beans, the masons and such - but the prison guards get candy on special days.

2. Against abortion, gay marriage, feminism, etc.

* ... of course. It's call Islamic Socialism. And we all know those gays are anti-State. The Supreme Commander knows that. Those trouble makers. Except of course those good boys who party with the Commander's son, and even the Commander himself.

Were you Spanish under Generalissmo Franco you would have been a Falangeista which was a mixture of socialist and fascist ideals.

Following a conversation between @Mindmaster and myself, I would like to know what this political position is called (I already know what I call it):

1. Support of free healthcare, free education, free university tuition, foodbanks, welfare etc.

2. Against abortion, gay marriage, feminism, etc.

What is this position called? What would be its party?

Also, when you give your answers I'd really appreciate knowing your country of origin, only because Europe and the U.S. especially seem to have very different political definitions.

Thanks for your time

:)
That would be some sort of socialist (abrahamic?) theocracy. Jesus was a bit of a socialist and then adhering to religious precepts as law. Number two may be different depending on the religion. Don't necessarily think its a political position, those are non-partisan issues really, IOW both sides may believe in any of those things as far as Democrats or Republicans. Although I realize a lot of people like to say thats a left thing or right thing. Number two could be conservative thing mainly but don't think thats necessarily true either since it involves more touchy subjects on defining life, soul, sin and general human rights.

There is no political party currently against Feminism in its platform. The first part is just "common sense" to most countries. The United states being a special snowflake exception. Being anti-abortion and anti-marriage equality is a uniquely Republican thing in American politics.
