What are your political beliefs?

Centre-left.
Everyone should have a fair crack at the whip regardless of background - but equality of outcome is not desirable. Some inequality is natural and needed to spur efficiency/innovation, but too much leads to abject barbarism.

Socially liberal but the collapse of family life/marriage is to be fought and cheap identity politics ought to be abandoned.

So you believe in equality of opportunity?

Yes.

If someone cannot be arsed to work, then the person who can should be given the rewards.

However, I am absolutely aghast at lazy and stupid people from wealthy backgrounds being given a first class education and a raft of opportunities purely because of their background. Politically we should work towards a more meritocratic system.

Strong public services are a major part of supporting the established middle classes and giving the clever ones among the poor the chance to shine and go up the social ladder.

I also believe adult education is a major factor. There is a saying; education is wasted on the young, and I do believe this. Should an adult decide they want to return to education and study for something the route should not be closed for them because they screwed about at school. It is a very small percentage of the population with pushy parents not satisfied unless they get 14 A*s or whatever. It is better for everybody that their talents are realised if they wish to go down a more fulfilling path in life.

Saying that education and training should be altogether more technical and vocational and target skills shortages if it is to be funded by the state. The country needs more homegrown nurses, electricians, and plumbers. It does not need more media or gender studies graduates.

Right wing libertarian (people who have seen me around here would have gathered that), not quite a minarchist but I do believe that we should have minimal state involvement both socially and economically, believing that the market knows best most of the time, and for it to prosper the most, we should have a free market system. I think emergency healthcare should be provided by the state and all other services be provided by different companies, with a basic health plan that is accessible to all. Expanding grammar schools in order to provide a choice in education qualities and allow for social mobility to flourish without interference is another thing I believe in.

yes let's just allow those who profit from our labour to spend our money on useless goods like yachts cocaine and strippers (money that cant possibly be spent better elsewhere).

Well they have the freedom to do so. Not to say that I agree with them doing it but by principle I believe that those who earn money should have the freedom to do what they want with it, and forcing them to pay higher taxes is not the way to go, especially we can’t guarantee that the state will be effective in how it invests sometimes, and thus should be left to those who can make those more informed conditions. Those who profit from labour do so because they are able to effectively manage their companies and have a system that strikes a balance between effectiveness and concessions made. Indeed, that money can be spent better but end of the day it is up to the individual to do so, and if the individual does so, it ends up benefiting more people in the long run

Right-wing Libertarians for the win!

What about right wing libertarians appeals to you if you don’t mind me asking?
