I am beside myself with grief. I am utterly messed-up. Crazy even.

My certificate puts me firmly with the mad fucking 'Crankie's' witch Nicola Sturgeon (who I loathe).

Euthanasia please!

I'm an interested observer. It makes it easier to not pin your colours to anything in particular

Centre right for me.

I am politically homeless.
I'm Liberal about sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll
Conservative about paying tax
Socialist about workers rights etc.
Green about the environment
For those reasons, I have to choose nearer to voting time. I would be really happy if there were no political parties and MP's voted with their values and conscience rather than a whip

Economic left/right -7.25
Social libertarian/Authoritarian -6.36
I'm left left

Always been right of centre but have voted green the last two occasions. It would be some serious time before I vote the big two again. The centralist parties will be interesting to see how they get on or whether they are Lib Dem’s in disguise

Most of the UK is slightly left wing economically and slightly authoritarian socially.

It’s the old Blue Labour tradition that died a bit since the demise of the unions.

I didn't do the poll because none of those categories fit me.

Some policical quotes I agree with:
“People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.”
“The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”
“Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.”
“If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it.”
“Secrecy begets tyranny.”
“The genius of our ruling class is that it has kept a majority of the people from ever questioning the inequity of a system where most people drudge along paying heavy taxes for which they get nothing in return.”

We get nothing in return except for the things we get in return.

Or force a coalition cabinet that was representative of the votes cast.

Here’s the 2017 UK parties for reference. Maybe it doesn’t skew left actually.

I'm almost bang-on Green. Thought I might have been near Lib Dem.

So you’re a lefty who doesn’t like paying tax.

Hate to say it, but she’s the best party leader in the UK.

OK so that’s like saying I just took the shiniest turd, but still.

Have you now taken a career in stand up.

That’s a good one to be fair

Welcome back

If I had to submit to the labels (which I don't) I would say I have a left wing a right wing and a bit down the middle, I have no time for disingenuous ideologues.

I actually voted Labour at the last GE as despite being led by the left their policies sat immeasurably more comfortably with me.

Click to expand...

That's because the policies aren't extreme or radical but courtesy of right wing media bias people associate being left as being insane

Thought i was right of centre... this put me left of centre. I’m happy enough with that.

Started left as a young man.... went very right as an angry bloke then matured and heading back left. When you get to a certain age and have a comfortable life I think you do see things differently... you become more compassionate and caring for people who aren’t family.... these are typically left traits. I do have to stop touching strangers though

I was a left back as a kid, used to sometimes play a bit more forward when needed. When I got older I was either a centre forward or centre half.

i think we should scrap the present system of electing MPs and instead get 100 really fit women and 100 really fit blokes (some of whom say they are conservatives, some of whom labour etc, equally spread) to stand for election. We then choose our favourites based on 'horny-ness' alone (without being told their political allegiance). The winners then form a government/opposition.

They'd probably be just as useless as the politicians we have now, but at least you could have a wank during PMQs / Question Time.

There’s evidence that people already vote like that. Usually the most attractive candidate wins apparently.

Wouldn’t like to see who Anne Widdicombe beat.

Where do you lie politically??? It starts in meeti gs progresses to doorsteps, Council comittee meetings, Houses of Parliament, Radio & TV.

They lie from start to finish

Economic Left/Right: -3.5
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.67

Not what I was expecting. I was expecting far right with some of the views I hold.

Economic Left/Right: -7.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.1

I answered some questions in a more libertarian way than perhaps i really think when it comes down to it
