Do you think that Labour are a right wing party?

Is Cameron's conservative party right wing ?

NP&E seems to be full of left wing nutters these days.

It's all great fun, isn't it?
Labour are further to the right of the BNP. So one of two things has happened there. Either Labour are "ultras" or the old "Nazism isn't socialism" thing might be wrong...

The only reason Cameron is doing this deal is to make himself better off in getting a nice little job after he leaves office in the eu alongside blair etc.

Telegraph reports that several EU nations plan to gang up on Cameron to completely water down his 'reforms' and to stop the possibility of contagion across the EU.

France in particular seems adamant that there should be no veto, even by a majority of states, over the Euro zone, and water down the protection for the City of London. Belgium is concerned that his proposals reduce Brussels' powers and any reform should increase them. It's clear that there has been a comparing of notes and the only rule forward is more Europe, Ever Closer Union.

Well that tells you all you need to know. Anyone who has ever said the EU needs reform should now be voting for Leave, unless they're the steaming hypocrites one suspects is the case.

Vote Leave, you know it makes sense. If you vote Remain, watch out, the UK will be comprehensively rogered.

That's really interesting that we seem to be tending toward a neo liberal fascist state... Perhaps Donal Trump should join in with British politics?

The PM's excursions and machinations are clearly seen to be a sham.

Definitely vote Out. Eurodrones aren't bothering to conceal their intent, the UK's future within the EU is bleak and subservient.

More crap coming down the line http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/comment...

Can't see why May is on the fence http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35592457 and there's a starting off point for a UK future, and create a new alliance for economy and trade, if we need one at all, centred on our shared history and culture - with the US, Canada,Aus and NZ, add maybe India, Singapore.

Quite, I came out as Labour '72, just like the poster earlier.

scratchchin Might have to let that gem out in the Senior Common Room, might endear me to the assorted steaming lefties who think I bang to attention and snap off a regulation perfect salute to a portrait of Maggie every morning.

I assume they're all convinced that we will remain. If we were to vote leave, any of them with career ambitions would do well to be the one who came down on the leave side.

Indeed. Communism placed on the left, not even slightly in the direction of authoritarian. Righto.

Anarchist/libertarian must mean something entirely different to those who create these algorithms.
I came out Labour '82. Slightly left of centre and leaning libertarian.

Is PHds a bastion of old Labour?

Looks like yet another nail in the EU coffin has been driven home, in that the latest EU directive is for all towns and cities in the EU member states countries are to impose congestion charging for drivers wishing to visit such places.
As if many towns here are not already struggling to attract shoppers and visitors (or will these congestion charge zones just be enlarged around towns and cities to engulf as many out of town shopping centres as possible, Perhaps given the size of the UK relative to other EU countries they will just make they whole UK a congestion charging zone.
Just how on Earth do they propose to set boundaries for congestion charging? What will congestion charging do to the transport of goods?
the Sinister thing is being told the EU has no `Plan B' for a UK exit from the EU. Does this mean that no matter what WE vote, we are not going to be allowed to get out of there?

They don't have a "Plan B" for anything. Very rarely is there a "Plan A". Look at the migrant crisis for example. Totally disorganised chaos.

I came out as:
Economic Left/Right: -1.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.38

Looking at this in comparison with the 2015 election I have to wonder why I voted Conservative:



Either I grossly misunderstood their policies or that test is bks.

I sincerely hope you are right, but actions of the EU over the years do make me worry, that we will have any say in the way our country is run, or whether we will be `permitted' to leave the whole corrupt stinking edifice the EU has become.

We could both have been completely duped by spin from our political 'elite' though... None of the main parties really represent me on the authoritarian scale - that I'm aware of, it's the left-right split that I struggle with on the graph.

None of the main parties really fully represent me either but UKIP do more than any other. Without UKIP we would not even be having a referendum, and I am someone that supported the referendum party 20 years ago ( Mr Aspinall was a great character to meet in the flesh)

Federal EU superstate.......doomed I tell you.
