Gaddafism

Gaddafism, also known as Third International Theory, is an Economically left, Culturally right ideology, influenced by Islamic theory. He believes in a convoluted form of Democratic Socialism with a bit of sexism thrown in for good measure. This stems from his theory that in any political system, there will be winners and losers, and the winners will always oppress the losers. This includes democracies, which stops them from being "true" democracies in his eyes. In order to circumvent this issue, he would rename Parliament, now calling it the People's Congress, and add a few extra steps into the voting process to make it needlessly complicated. His socialist influence is fairly standard, but his views on gender equality are in a weird middle ground. Women have human rights, but they also have social responsibility to act as housewives.

Personality and Behaviour
Gaddafism's strange solution to his philosophical conundrum is so poorly thought through he has a hard time convincing other balls of its reason to exist. As he has a notoriously short temper, this can lead to a lot of conflict between him and the other balls from across the spectrum, though it is usually just a one sided shouting match. Most of the balls have learnt he's really not worth their time.
