ETA - PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND VOTE TWICE FOLKS! biggrin

I have a theory that Thatcher broke traditional British politics by getting traditionaly socially conservative working class voters to vote Tory, and that Blair then compounded the confusion by persuading traditionally socially liberal middle class Tory voters to vote Labour, and as a result very few of us actually have a party that represents our spiritual tribe any longer.

I'd be interested to know if others feel they have a political home, and if so, where it is. Please therefore cast TWO votes. One for your own position and the other to say whether or not you feel there is a party that represents your political home.

Last time we did this I found that this open source alternative was less biased than Political Compass, which tends to push people up and left.
