I think i'd have needed another twenty questions in their to get a full enough picture to categorise myself.

You're an anomaly NM, I remember saying as much in one of my PM convos with ol' Kirk. When we would exit the trenches and play football in the snow.

I don't think i'm that unique.I think i'd fall into the category of disenfranchised voters who have been left without a political home due to Corbyn and the far left taking over the Labour party.
I have never voted Tory and never would because I believe in a fairer more equal society and totally disagree with things like bedroom tax and hitting the disabled and homeless.I think Tory austerity is too far,I don't think zero hours contracts should be forced on people when they're probably better off on benefits,I think workers rights are important and believe work should pay a living wage.I think on balance things like the railways should be nationalised so there is a body we can hold accountable etc etc.All things Corbyn wants.

But....

I'm against over taxing and alienating corporations because i'd rather we attract businesses and encourage competition,I think the NHS is possibly unsustainable and needs to be looked at realistically and all options considered,I think immigration needs to be controlled better and worked on to be reduced,I believe in British jobs for British workers first,I believe that when people come here they need to fit in with our culture and not the other way round and i don't believe Islamic ideas such as Sharia should be pandered to in any way as i think Islam is the most backwards of the three main religions,I'm against these parallel societies who make their own rules which can contradict the law and believe in taking a hard line on terrorists and their sympathisers.
On top of that i think Corbyn seems like a nice chap but would be a terrible PM as he is clearly imo incapable of taking the hard decisions,He would possibly obliterate our defences and has already taken a position which would castrate our nuclear deterrent were he to become PM leaving Europe in a more vulnerable position and i don't like him calling terrorist organisations like Hamas "friends".

So after all that i'm probably a right winger in denial with left wing tendancies.
I'm politically homeless and find it extremely difficult to "pick a side".I'm not even on the fence.I have a position on all these issues just no party who caters to them.
However i think there are many many people like me.I know plenty.
Modern society imo is waay too complex to put everyone in these left/right/centre pigeon holes.I would vote centre but i don't think that covers me as it suggests a more moderate position on the issues than i have.Hence why I didn't vote in the poll.
