    Interesting enough, but you have to take their advice seriously about not quibbling with the wording of their propositions, just go with your gut reaction.

                    I can't really answer such questions without wondering about how the answers will be interpreted.

                    For instance, take

                    A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system.

                    That's mostly a statement of facts, yet if I answer that I agree, it will presumably be interpreted as me being "authoritorian" or something, although I completely disagree with one-party states for other obvious reasons.

                                I know we’ve done something like it before a long time ago.

                                If we did it a few weeks ago I missed it.

                                But the answer to your question is yes.

                                  We just did one of these here a month ago. The questions annoyed me for those same reasons.

                                  Education is extremely important.

                                        That's mostly a statement of facts, yet if I answer that I agree, it will presumably be interpreted as me being "authoritorian" or something, although I completely disagree with one-party states for other obvious reasons.

                                          I can't get the bloody thing to paste in, but I'm pretty much the mirror image of Klaus and Jolly, on the left.

                                          I was only joking
