O/T:- Election

[Lullapie]

Interesting, I took the test and to my surprise came very close to the centre but slightly north-west in the pink box. That apparently makes me a mild leftist authoritarian. I would however have liked a 'neither agree or disagree' box because some answers were very borderline.



My circumstances have changed quite a bit over time, but my political beliefs haven't changed at all. My beginnings could be described as humble, I was the eldest of five kids born on a council estate and had the piss taken out of me at school because I lived in a council house and we didn't have a car. I was brought up to work for it if you want something, and did just that. My circumstances now suggest that I should have become be a typical Tory voter, but hell will freeze over before that happens.

Great post Elite. I like the latter comments you made too. My upbringing was very similar. I was brought up in a hard-Labour area. I wouldn't say working class as hardly anybody there worked. I became politically and economically aware at a young age and have had an interest ever since. I should be a die-hard Labour voter, but I'd rather vote for a sink than anything that has red next to it.

People see achievements of governments in different ways and fortunately, we are allowed to talk about this. I believe that the majority of politicians are in it for themselves or their benefactors, hence I don't believe any party that says it will look after anyone who is worse off than them. I also can't understand why anyone would vote for someone who has no understanding of commerce or finances (unless the voter is fiscally inept). They can't generate wealth, only spend it. We are paying for that failed experiment currently in New Zealand.

Back to the survey........the first question turned me off a bit. It sounded very left-wing orientated. There were also questions in there that would have no relation to anyone's political bias. I also found it interesting how the questions kept referring to 'corporations', but never referred to the other side, i.e. Unitary Socialist/Communist states.

Any road up, I am as below (apparently) .
