Re: The ET Political Compass (none / 1)

It would get a certain amount of sympathy here I suspect.

In any case, it's meant to be global. The Tories haven't been all that far right traditionally.

Re: The ET Political Compass (4.00 / 3)

I'm not saying that it's a true "unthinkable" in the UK context, just that it's really not the level of discriminator that it is in the US context. And I think that's true for a lot of the questions. If you sit with them and think carefully about European society then it's hard to be "Strongly Agree/Disagree" with the way they have phrased their economic questions.
