Would you consider yourself as Economically Left wing but Socially Conservative?

There seems to be no UK party which represents this sort of politics.

I definitely do, for the most part, I'm not sure supporting marijuana legalisation is socially conservative though
Hmm..
Marijuana legalisation seems to be a liberal idea, however one idea does not change your political affiliation as a whole.
Are you opposed to ideas such as abortion and same sex marriage?
I don't think such authoritarianism is very common. I imagine most people who fit those characteristics would be "third positionists" and perhaps not even support electoral democracy.

For the most part, yes, if only for religious reasons, with maybe abortion in the case of a rape or if the fetus endangers it's mothers life being the only exception
No and for good reason
Individuals who're economically left-wing and socially conservative could fit in Labour.

You are right, but Labour is not inherently a socially conservative party.
These people are the Libertarians' worst nightmare.
I think I'm economically conservative and socially liberal, but I no longer feel that there is any party that represents this view either, politics is becoming so polarised now.

Yep, that's true as well, there is no Libertarian type party in the UK either.

There is, it's just very small. One of my friends is a member of it but the MP candidates who sat in the 2017 GE barely received over 50 votes in their constituencies.
National Socialism....... Where have I heard that before?
pretty much most muslims / black people / other minorities. But they tend to vote with labour
I am the inverse of your socioeconomic and political beliefs. I am fiscally/ economically conservative and socially liberal.

National Socialists are despised by Momentum and the soft left as part of the post-Soviet relativism that allows them to claim 'x was not a real socialist'.

National Socialists don't really have a home in the UK outside the BNP.
I always thought if Labour were centre left economically but right wing on law and order, immigration, the EU, patriotism, and of course had a strong leader would of been a big winner for 2015, but it was not to be.
Marijuana legalisation is coming...Starting with CBD and THC oils for MS and other diseases, then following America and Canada's example.

There are over 500 million people worldwide now, who are prescribed CBD/THC for various ailments.
And many people in the UK take it, who are forced to break the law to get it, from an unknown potentially dangerous source.

They'll tax it before long and legitimise it. Make it safe.
