Another Political Spectrum Quiz

Iain Dale has posted and interesting although US-centric poll on his blog.From the Orator blog there is a link to a questionnaire to let you know how "conservative" or "progressive" you are. You have to answer 40 questions and then it gives you a rating on a scale of 1 to 400. The lower the score, the more conservative you are. The average American scores 209.5

Take the questionnaire HERE.

Worryingly TheEye scored 50.

Going through the comments on Iain's blog, some Friends Of This Parish stand out:
Iain Dale scored 187
Donal Blaney scored 68
Old Holborn scored 193
ToryBear scored 137
Curly got 85

Nobody is anywhere near as low as 50. Should TheEye be nervous, or should the neighbours be?

G.O.T. scores 214.
Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing!

Some of the questions are too US slanted and some - such as the abortion and religion stuff - would also score "conservative" in America but not necessarily so in the UK.

Still, a bit of fun, eh?

since when was "progressive" the opposite of " conservative " ?

Ronald Reagan

"There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect."

Lady Thatcher

"If you lead a country like Britain, a strong country, a country which has taken a lead in world affairs in good times and in bad, a country that is always reliable, then you have to have a touch of iron about you."

Voltaire

"Stand upright, speak thy thoughts, declare The truth thou hast, that all may share; Be bold, proclaim it everywhere: They only live who dare."
