This forum is a wonderful hive of discussion of political issues from both a Conservative and Liberal standpoint.

On a random thought and a random whim I thought it would be interesting to do a headcount of those who affiliate themselves with both ideological standpoints.

To work it I thought the following would be a suitable format - if you affiliate with one group simply increase the total of that group by one as you post.

I think everyone would aggree this is generally an oversimplification of the way people form their opinions so it's really a broad indicator more than anything else.

I'm a UN member who sees the social benefits of limited state intervention and believe in todays world civil liberties are of paramount importance. I'd class my self as a moderate Conservative.

Therefore the end of my post looks as follows. It'd be interesting to see how this changes over time!


Conservative: 1
Liberal: 0
Neither: 0

neither. i think the issues that we have to deal with are far to complex to be grouped under 1 banner.

What about those of us who don't consider ourselves to be either conservative or liberal?

We should also determine if we're going by the American standard of Conservative/Liberal or the European one. Either way, I'm fairly liberal.

I'm too engrossed in the real world to take conservatism or liberalism seriously. Radical centrism all the way!!! :D :D :D
