As an example of a question like this:

"Public broadcasters should never receive moeny from the state." (I can't remember the exact wording.)

In the UK at least, whilst there is a set of people who are so anti-BBC they might vote "Strongly Agree" it is practically assured that most people will vote "Disagree" or "Strongly Disagree" because the number of people who believe that the BBC should get NO state funding is very small. The problem is, this question does nothing to discriminate (for example) between Tories, Lib Dems, Labour and SWP in the UK, but it will clearly put US Dems in the left and US Repubs on the right because this is something they have a sharp disagreement about.
