My friend Richard Garvie put me onto this site: ISideWith 2014 Political Quiz. It's not entirely comprehensive, but it's probably more insightful than just a bit of fun.
Turns out I side 96% with Labour (which was a little higher than Richard), 91% with the Lib Dems, and 85% with the Greens, and I'm only 56% Tory, and least of all BNP which is a relief. Care to post your leanings? -------------------- Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!

A rather higher BNP leaning that I would desire, but on all their 'issues' I apparently identify with other parties I am much more comfortable with scored way higher. Thus there is not a chance in the dwelling of Old Nick that I would sully my poll with an X for any BNP candidate.
I am with the SNP on Health, apparently, which will upset my extended family!!! Such items are for fun only, remember, and do not reflect at all on what people are against. |

My BNP score was like 38%!
I said that it should be stricter immigration but easier for skilled workers. Apparently I agreed with them on Transport as well. -------------------- :p

Results above show what I always thought. This forum should be renamed the Newbury Labour Today Forum!:) I’ve varied between Cons/Libs/Lab over my voting life of some near 60 years and thought I was pretty tolerant, so I was a bit surprised to find that I had 82% UKIP 73 C 57 Lab 39 Lib.

Well, given that UKIP seems to be high in the scorelines, perhaps the Fruitcake Forum would be a better title! -------------------- Know your place!

QUOTE (CharlieF @ Mar 3 2014, 12:14 PM) Interesting one that. I'm Economic Left/Right: -1.50, Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.08. So centre-left, but seriously Libertarian. I'm happy with that. -------------------- Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!
