Political Compass Revisisted
Saw this on one of Subrosa's 'Other things you might like' widgets today and thought I'd revisit the old political compass. Surely now that I'm a middle-aged parent with responsibilities I'll have moved towards the Authoritarian Right...
Subrosa - There's not many in the Labour party who know their left from right, especially not after Tony helped them realign their priorites.
Baron Prescott's shadow may still obscure the left from a Labour perspective, but it's a different left from the one I understand, and if he was half the man that he weighs, he wouldn't suddenly be remembering how ropey the WMD claim actaully was - he'd have shot them out of the water when he had a real chance to do something about them.
Having lived overseas for 10 years I returned to Scotland, got married and started a family. I'm loving life in Scotland, but know that there are so many ways that we can improve and make better use of what we have. There's no particular aim to this blog. I'd like to think it might provide an avenue for me to crystalise my views and develop the skills to express them coherently. All comments are welcome and will not be moderated.
Hey - snap!
ReplyDeleteJings Jim, you're more left than John Prescott. :)
