UK Compass (4.00 / 2)

I guess this is consistent with my choice to join the LibDems and not Labour when I was in the UK...

Re: UK Compass (none / 0)

Thats strange, when I did it, i landed up pretty much in the same place as you, (a touch down and to the left) but when I looked at the pic it had Labour to the right of the tories, which gave me a chuckle.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Re: UK Compass (none / 0)

I have looked at this graph with my own results, but noticed only now: they judge the British Greens more Eurosceptic than the Tories!? Something's not alright there...

Re: UK Compass (none / 0)

Just like along the socioeconomic left/right axis we know there is a problem conflating laissez-faire liberalism with civil libretarianism, so it is in the European integration axis, where it is a problem to conflate political integration with race-to-the-bottom single market competition.
