So far, except for Bach and Horace (who is a secret lefty, har har) we are all members in good standing of the Lavender Club.

I feel like I'm out of step with pretty much all parties. The Republicans/British Conservatives are a
truly odious bunch, and the Democrats/Labour Party are by-and-large idiots or just pander to various fringe nutters. At the last British election I found myself hoping that both leaders would somehow fall into an open sewer together.What to do?
Monarchy?
Honestly, let's just bring back class systems, village feudalism, and primogeniture, I don't care at this point.

Well, at least we have The Fool already covered.

What makes you think those things are gone?

I had a lot of problems with the questions...
“ If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.” Trans-National Corporations are part of humanity...
“I’d always support my country, whether it was right or wrong.” What’s that supposed to mean? As an example: I love my countryside I don’t want to hurt it so I won’t speak against slavery or I love my country and support it, which is why I must speak up against Slavery?
“ The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Sometimes....

@LuFins-Dad I agree, some of the questions were a little silly or nonsensical. I think the questions have to be read as your guess of "What is the most likely intention of the question authors on what the answer to the question implies?".

It’s an interesting exercise, and I have to assume your point of reference is TNCR itself. Surely in Canada Renauda is center right if not just plain old right.
George is more conservative than Horace in most respects. He’s just not Trumpist.
But Horace makes sympathetic noises about single payer healthcare, for example, that you’d never hear George make.
Anyway, besides quibbles like that it seems pretty good.

Actually I am quite a bit to the left. Somewhere between the late Chistopher Hitchens and Vladimir Lenin. In loathe the new left and the useful liberal idiots that are littering the streets of late.
Elbows up!

Care to elaborate on that?

Well, who doesn't? I know, that's a rhetorical question, at least as far as (ahem) right-thinking people go.
"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Not really, other than both Hitchens and Lenin had nothing but disdain for liberals and socialists. As do I
As a footnote I also wholly support universal health care as constitutional right; the prohibition of all semi automatic and automatic firearms for private citizens and; heavy regulation for environmental compliance and foreign ownership restrictions of private industry in the resource sector.
So maybe I'm like Castro
