You're probably North East of UKIP by now. I presume the L-R in that is some sort of market measure? BNP don't really strike me as to the left of the lib dems.

I think it's important to recognise that the position on the grid isn't much more informative than the position on a simple line. It has an extra dimension and does convey more information, sure.

I think they could work a couple of hours a day litter picking or something. I believe a percentage of their brew money should go towards a gym membership and it should be mandatory for them to go at least twice a week.

It's an American quiz. https://www.thequiz.com/this-quick-quiz-will-tell-you-if-youre-left-wing-or-right-wing/ I would rather live in the Wild West than Nazi Germany. Apparently that means I would like a smaller state. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
