    Poll fail - "A score of 5 is the furthest left" so you aren't going to get 0,1,2,3 or 4.

      Your answers place you slightly to the right of the political centre in comparison with the rest of the population in 2014.
      You scored 14 out of 25

      A score of 5 is the furthest left and 25 is the furthest right. Around a fifth of the population have similar views to you. You would have been close to the centre of the political spectrum from 2004-2007 and in 2010.

        But you can get 5. I deliberately skewed the outliers to be smaller score ranges.

          I voted disagree on all 5 questions and so got 20 out of 25.

          :nazi:
          Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

            Didn't work the first time for me. I gave my answers and it gave me 25 :nazi:

            I thought I'd be pretty central so did it again, same answers and got 12

              They are inane and ridiculous questions:

              Take this one

              To what extent do you agree or disagree that government should redistribute income from the better-off to those who are less well off?

              Agree strongly
              Agree
              Neither agree nor disagree
              Disagree
              Disagree strongly

              The real question should include "how" wealth should be redistributed and under what terms. what responsibilities do recipients have in return for the handouts? Do we for instance write a blank cheque to a woman who has a child and leaves her husband because she realises she is a lesbian, leaves her job and gets the state to pay her living costs whilst she looks for another one? That within this contract is an absolute right for every woman to have and support a child irrespective of whether the world is under threat from an increasing population.

              Where is the bit that gives us the option to stick people in a workhouse where they can help each other until they are self reliant enough to support themselves?
