Default Politically speaking, what do you consider yourself to be?

Like what kind of ideology/party would you align yourself with?

I pretty sure I'm a socialist or a market socialist. I can't really pick between the two.

I would add a poll, but there are so many political ideologies and groups that I'd miss out on so many.

Difficult to define. Some kind of liberal. Not Lib-Dem or Labour. Or at least not in their current states. UK politics is too dominated by posturing and purchasing power.

I did vote conservative... but only because the only realistic choices in my home constituency were Lib Dem and Conservative. I voted green in the local election. I think the fact that there only appear to be three major parties is sad, since there's so many issues they all ignore. Perhaps I'm naive to believe that anything would change with the greens or other parties, but... meh.

I would put myself at the centre of politics, I can see the worth in both left and right as to politics.

I am not into party machine politics,in the right circumstances I could see myself voting for both the 2 main parties.
I guess I leaned towards Lib Dems but have had my fingers well and truly burned there so they have lost my vote for decades at least.

My time is more for consensus politics and politicians and I just wish all those consensus politicians.(of whom there are lots in all parties), would speak out more and join forces more, politics and the UK would in my opinion be far better for that.
I also think the voters would appreciate that more too rather than, they did this,they didn't do this,backbiting,tennis type batting that makes Politics and politicians look childish and also really ridiculous,especially in this modern age.

Don't see what's so wrong about saying ''not bothered'' that's his opinion and he's entitled to think it, like the many others who don't really care for any of the parties/politics in general.

I don't wish to argue nathan but when someone makes a thread designed for fm's to post their opinion on a subject then a response of 'not bothered' is not productive to the discussion. If he were to elaborate and explain why he was not bothered it may make some sense.

Out of interest joey did you vote in favour of PR? Since you appear to be in favour of consensus politics. I did. It's a shame how easily it was defeated in that referendum.

I didn't support AV Shaun no, I am in favour of PR but I thought AV to be a poor step on the road to it.
I think the first past the post delivers stronger Govt but not much in the way of consensus Govt. I would support PR in a future referendum on the issue.

Also having said all that,I regret not supporting AV now, not that it would have come into effect anyway being so soundly beaten and I can see the point you are likely making that it would have been a step towards a better PR system and as you point out, likely would have created a better environment for censensus politics to thrive more.
