May isn't too bad, possibly better than Cameron, could be much better, far better than the alternatives.

Probably 65% right, I don't really like the conservatives as such, however, I quite like Teresa May

Don't really follow a party as such, however, I voted labour in the last general election (I didn't do any research and was unsure who to vote for)

I don't agree with Trump, however, I feel he isn't as bad as he's made out to be, and the constant ant-trump stuff is just embarrassing

I also voted leave

I would vote UKIP but they're probably too leaning right for me (agreeing with their policy on immigration etc)

One thing I definitely wouldn't do is vote Labour again (especially under Corbyn) as I feel he is too much a pushover and his policy on increasing the minimum wage/getting rid of zero - hour contracts but creating ( I think I read somewhere) a million jobs? The only problem with increasing the minimum wage is that everything else will just simply go up, also people that are on £10 an hr feels they should be paid that extra percentage over £7.20 or whatever, and feel they would also be deemed a raise. Also, what if it's a struggling small business with 5 employees making enough turn around just for the owners to get by, if they had to raise the minimum wage they then could potentially be at a loss, either making a staff member redundant or having to fold the business.

1. I loathe politics for many reasons.

2. I don't have wings for one reason.

Those of you who are right wing, do you like Theresa May?

Yes

For all - are you pro Brexit?

Yes, I don't like regional, supranational organisations that go against Westphalian principles and as a realist i'm naturally against the eu anyway.

Imo, the Nazis were centre-wing (albeit obviously extremely authoritarian).

They did, at least, have some progressive policies, unlike those on the right-wing.

I would argue that they were more left wing, national socialists with an extremely authoritarian slant to it.

libertarian - so right wing

in short: I suppose I'm a liberal skeptic so I's say right wing.

Lengthy explanation: That being said, if the left weren't so uppity about identity politics and Marxism (pretending to care for lower classes) I'd be more adherent to follow but I can't. Also they're the only side that believe political violence is okay, as is silencing freedom of speech, in this day and age. Makes me afraid to share my political views.

I voted leave during brexit... I don't like imperialist/globalist organisations holding back diplomatic changes within countries. The EU is bad for own-businesses, bureaucratic, parliamentary sovereignty and brakes it's own rules over and over (looking at the migrant crisis).

I used to think I was left wing until I went to university. I'm centre at least right-wing in some of my views such as business and other areas.

I think the left wing people I know I just too extreme for me to associate myself with.

Same here with me :smile:

I am not going to try and act politically correct because I'm not fully informed. I'm 17 so my views could potentially change, but at the moment it seems that I'm left-wing^^

According to that test, I pretty much overlap with the Greens. I'd likely vote for them come the next election, although I don't agree with all of their ideas.

I got the same result - I did initially question the tests' veracity though.

Personally, even though the chart mirrors my support of libertarianism over authoritarianism, and while I'm pretty liberal on most social issues: I tend to lean right on economic, education, domestic policy and foreign policy issues.

So... overall, I'm not so sure. I kinda prefer iSideWith tbh.

I'm the cockpit.

Right wing libertarian. I'm *very* libertarian when it comes to freedoms (ie freedom of speech, religion, marriage, gun rights, drugs etc).

I believe in freedom of speech. I hope one day we will be able to criticise any ideology we want, without being banned from TSR (you know what I'm talking about)
