Then however, I realised that their compass positions were determined by their speeches, rather than their actions. I can sleep easy now... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Dave, I can assure you based on my readings of your posts you are nothing but a solid Tory. I couldn't see a large amount of agreement between you and Blair/Schroder on many issues at all.

I think it is difficult to take a one-size-fits-all approach to this sort of thing. For example if you included Australian questions such as on the Monarchy, aussie flag, British Empire/Commonwealth, Knighthoods, oath etc. I would clearly be seen as a tory, however with the political compass questions I appear to be very much a liberal. One thing is for sure though, I am definantly NOT a socialist/Labour supporter!

Some of the questions obviously refer to specific national contexts, though, like the one about civil liberties and terrorism. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
