Where do you stand politically?

I'm not sure about the accuracy of this but it was relatively detailed compared to some I've seen. I'm centre left libertarian according to this.

Not surprising as I view civil liberties as the main issue above all else, including the deficit.

8. Pretty much the same for me

Apparently, most of the results on the site tend to be slightly left wing and tend towards the social libertarian end of the spectrum which would seem to show that either the test is flawed or that the main parties aren't representative of the electorate at all.

Of course rather than answering these rather trite questionnaires it would be quicker just to post the Rochdale Principles

I still rather like the 1844 originals but any version will do
