Political view - A British angle on the question

Heh. Center-leaning Centrist. How about that?

I lied & said I was a Londoner, a Guardian reader, a 2001 Labour voter, an '05 Respect voter. I chose some pretty extreme views on the 'values' bit of the poll, and yet came out middle-of-the-road. Looking at the comparison analysis, it looks like the UK is divvied up into thirds: one-third rightists, one-third leftists, one-third centrists, roughly speaking.

but what i also find interesting is that the 'tail' of the left wing is a lot longer than the right wing one... the right seems very short indeed.

You righty on economic matters!! *shocked!* :p

But yes, our society is pretty even I guess, it has been like that for at least 50 years. Although Blair seems ot think two thirds of people in this country are rabid right wingers and so panders to that small minority almost daily.
