Strong Democrat

Via Bloggers4Labour. I know these things don’t really mean much, but this quiz had some particulatly interesting questions. Some of them I hadn’t really considered before taking the test, to be honest, and some I didn’t really understand¹. If you take the test, don’t be put off by the first six questions. I think they’re the trickiest of the lot.

You are a
Social Liberal
(81% permissive)

and an…
Economic Liberal
(26% permissive)

You are best described as a:

Strong Democrat

Social justice should be the foundation of any economic system, for example. I can understand it, but I’m sure there’s plenty of depth that I’m missing. [↩]

I am 60% social liberal and 20% economic liberal - I am Gorbachev apparently (without the birthmark). So who should I be voting for? The Russians?!

I’ve thought about it, but tbh I remain to be convinced on the virtues of joining a political party. My opinions and principles are broadly in line with the Labour party, but by no means always.
