I'd guess that most people in the UK come out in the libertarian left quadrant of things. Older generations probably a bit close to the centre lines, perhaps nudging past them slightly. Youngsters probably further towards the far corners.

I've just done it myself for the first time in a long while - lots of the questions very much to do with US-style religious fervour which almost certainly isn't particularly commonplace on this side of the pond. The evangelical Christian right in the US would probably score around the same as an Islamicist from the Middle East, thought they would perhaps be more likely to think that corporations can do no wrong.

Libertarian left it's come out with, I am sort of in the middle of that , what does that mean then?


Don't vote Tory would be my advice.

I have literally never voted in my life , the next one i will give it a go based on the opinion of you all on this thread .

It seems a shame there seems to only be 2 electable parties though , not much choice - if you don't like either there is no one else with a realistic chance of winning is there ?

Do you just vote for the one you least hate then ?

What is the biggest problem now then - The Tories or Brexit ?

A majority Lib Left yes. Yet the Jacob Rees Mogg types still get elected…by the 40% of the 60% that vote…

Maybe people like me are the 'wrong uns' then who just don't vote .

I did find some of the questions interesting on the quiz , some I have thought about before I think my main political slogans would be ' help within reason' and 'freedom within reason '

I don't get the abortion thing ,assuming that's an American related question , I would say it should always be the womans free choice ; but obviously some must disagree with that .

And there was a question about employment along the lines of 'if you are fit to work should you be forced to ? '
Definately for me , but I also think benefits for people who actually need them are too hard to access and restrictions & paperwork etc too much .

I think the pension system is poor too , how can anyone survive on £600 a month or whatever it is , if you have not got a substantial private pension you have to work longer or penny pinch  - surely there would be a better way to have more income for when you retire ?

When living in GRIMSBY /  Cleethorpes I always voted labour.

Since moving down to Suffolk and seeing a better standard of living I turned to the Cons.

BUT

Listening to all their lies and behaviour over the last few years I will not vote for them again.

After giving up driving and going abroad I do not have a photo I D. and can not be arsed.to get one.

So no voting for me for the time I have got left.

Just been told I will not get any better health wise so watching sport on the telly and trying to ignore the politics is what I will do.

You ask for a postal vote, so you don't need an ID card.

A senior bus pass is valid ID for voting.

A young person's bus pass isn't. Strange that, isn't it?

But, yeah, postal votes are easy to sort out so that's the way to go.

Pete, you have to register first. Perhaps 2/3 months before election time or even do it now. You will get the voting papers in the post and then you can decide whether to return them or not.

If you leave it until voting time you may not be registered for the current election whenever that is.
