if you are pro-EU, but think the UK should have an EU referendum to lance the boil of Europe in British politics, then it thinks you're UKIP.
you you aren't that fussed about private provision within a free at the point of delivery, regardless of ability to pay NHS, then it thinks you're a raving free-marketeer. which somewhat ignores the point that since the inception of the NHS pretty much every GP surgery in the country has been a private company proividing services to the NHS for a fee, same with dentistry, and pharmacy...

(164 posts)i don't doubt that its an emotive issue, but i can't imagine that the number of voters for whom its a swing issue, an issue so important that they'd disregard everything else - economy, defence and foreign policy, welfare 'reform', taxation etc.. can be more than a large handful in any constituancy.
i reckon thats lots of greens or UKIPer's get excited about it - from opposite ends - but i rather doubt that they'd be prepared to move to the other end of the political spectrum in order to get what they want on this one issue. of course, there are mad people everywhere....
