Social Progressives (Poll)A brief summary of why I'm interested - I've always supported Labour and distanced myself from the Conservative party, because I've always felt that in general, the left it more socially liberal than the right. I'm no expert on economic or monetary policy, but I am a passionate supporter of social liberalism so that's what I look for most in politics.
Here, I simply want to find out a vague gauge on the number of socially progressive right wingers, as well as, of course, the number of socially conservative left wingers. Of course, social progressiveness is a self given label, but as a rough, single-issue guide, I would say supporting gay marriage is progressive, so please base a vote around that. -

Re: Social Progressives (Poll)I believe in a mixture of social conservatism and progressiveness. I support gay marriage and the separation of the state and religion, however I strongly favour traditional family values over single parents etc. (however I have nothign against them, just wouldn't encourage it). I'm also a strong supporter of the monarchy
