Warning to Scunnered: Labour considered well to the right of centre; SNP just to the left. Don't read this while eating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warning to Scunnered: Labour considered well to the right of centre; SNP just to the left. Don't read this while eating. I would never argue Labour are to the left of centre... I've also said SNP are slightly to the left of centre VERY SLIGHTLY... Although dampened by their public spending cuts last week in favour of corporate tax relief... So probably dead on centre actually. SNP off the Westminster leash?... Further right than the Tories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padre Andrew Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Thanks for putting the pictures up. The Americans are even worse off than us - what a choice. Be interesting to see how a whole raft of countries fared under this kind of analysis. How do the Scandiwegians do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BNP want reintroduce the death penalty and other mad social and justice policies, which Labour, to be fair, don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotlad Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Although Labour did aprove of locking up asylum seekers and initially devised the 'Workfare' programme - two policies the BNP probably wouldn't disagree too strongly with.

Souness' 'tache Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'm pretty much right on top of the Greens on that scale. Interesting......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde1998 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'm pretty much right on top of the Greens on that scale. Interesting......... I'm slightly to the left of them. Although, the questions don't really as about policies that might make me more or less likely to vote for a party (or be near a party of this scale). There are also religiousy questions - that are irrelevant to UK politics (outside of NI). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I've done this before and wondered if I'd mellowed much as I got older. Apparently not. What is interesting is that, to me, the questions seem very loaded and I'm simply giving the "correct" answer. https://www.politicalcompass.org/yourpoliticalcompass?ec=-8.25&soc=-9.95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scunnered Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Aren't SYRIZA is a collation with a far right party though? That could skew it... They've also went back on three of their main election pledges already. 1. To reintroduce the minimum wage at first session of parliament. 2. To have Greece's debt to capital written off... Will now only be partially negotiated. 3. Refuse to back EU sanctions against any other nation. They broke this in less than a week by backing sanctions against Russia.
