UKS Forum members' political leanings

[DrS]

Not too surprised ...

Lib Dem 44.44%

Labour & Green 22.22%

UKIP 11.11%

I feel kinda dirty too with the UKIP vote, but that was on health, and I reckon I was swayed by the "bring back Matron" rhetoric!

[Mr.Smoketoomuch]

I got: Economic Left/Right: -5.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.85

Guess that makes me a pinko.

How the B****Y H**L did you manage to pick a BNP set? Which policy set was it - not immigration I'll bet!

I thought that the BNP and UKIP policies were pretty obvious - but then I suppose I didn't do all the categories either.

Of course the policy manifestos are to a certain extent fantasy - they don't really mean what they say - half the policies would be dumped if the party ever got in.

ETA - OK I see it was Democracy.

It was an accident. I must've clicked on it when i tried to see all of their policies.

And... at first I dismissed it as a joke but its real: "cameron is our only hope"

I come out slightly to the left of the Dalai Lhama.Which is probably a bit misleading.

A Skeptic and cynic, I support no ideology and distrust all authority and power structures. By that I mean I trust none implicitly and reject Utopian ideals outright.

I see little similarity between the politics of public perception and real politik.

When I first saw your link I thought it was the BNP backing him. That would have stuffed him wouldn't it!

My prediction: Cameron with a small working majority - say 20.

The Sun has done it before - famously in 1992

the newspaper led a campaign against the Labour Party leader, Neil Kinnock which culminated in the election day headline, "If Kinnock wins today will the last person to leave Britain please turn out the lights". This was due to the fact that Labour had topped the opinion polls for most of the three years leading up to the election and as the election loomed it was looking likely that Britain would have a Labour government with Kinnock as prime minister. Even some Tory MPs acknowledged that The Sun contributed to their election triumph

Had another go and got the vote for policies site to work!

Lib Dem 44.44%
Green Party 44.44%
Lab 11.11%

My Political Compass result was
Economic Left/Right -9.38
Libertarian/Authoritarian -7.33

Nothing I'm embarrassed about.... and consistent I guess....!
