Political Leanings of Members

My Political Profile

Country of Residence: UK
Nationality: British
Political Compass Result: Economic Right - Social Libertarian
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: right / lib
Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping: anti-EU (pro-europe)
Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: Conservative
Religion: none (indifferent agnostic)

Abortion: pro yes (16 weeks - safe side of recent science)
War in Iraq: yes (tho that requires not making peoples lives worse)
Marijuana: yes
Firearms: yes (registered, for people of sound character)
Gay Marriage: yes (i want financial benefits for marriage)
Gay adoption: yes (but as an exception, not the rule)
Religion in schools: yes (in religious schools only)
Death penalty: yes (but not if it is against the wishes of my fellow countrymen)
European Union: Representative governance is best achieved when there is a solid link between the governed (demos) and the governors (kratos), whereupon the former agree to be ruled by the latter in their name............. because the bond of shared culture, history, and society permits a trust that the latter will act in accordance with the peoples wishes. This does not exist within the europe therefore a federal EU is inappropriate. A free trade zone with harmonisation where desired by sovereign member states would be the best result.
Global Warming: No-one doubts that climate changes, and I know that it can be catastrophic, but if this bout is not principally anthropogenic, or; is anthropogenic but not catastrophic, or; is catastrophic but not CO2 induced, then our current direction in spending trillions in future wealth growth on controlling CO2 may be as futile and pointless as Canute with his tides. I have grave doubts about the proposed political solution, and I do not accept that IPCC climate scientists are peerless and disinterested paragons worthy of unquestioning faith.
Human Rights: I am a fan of the social contract, which means i support the concept that civil rights are not natural rights, nor permanently fixed, and that English Law (read: Common Law) has spent 800 years morphing itself to the expectations of that social contract and thus has the greatest claim to validity as an instrument of justice. To me this sits at odds with the idea of an inalienable right enacted by statute (more appropriate to a Civil Law system) and not ultimately subject to English legal interpretation (as currently the case with the ECHR).
Israel: The best of a pretty shabby bunch

Economic Left/Right: 3.12
