Victorian-style conservative (or high Tory). Anglo-saxon capitalism and emphasis on public manners, but without the redneckery and anti-intellectualism of the American Tea Party movement.

I hated labels, so I said "other". I believe in doing what is right on a case by case basis, and that ideologies work at best in limited settings, at worst not at all.

However, I like to describe myself as a radical moderate.

Far right, libertarian conservative. I like Ron Paul best overall, but will settle for Romney since he has the best chance of beating Obama.

This isn't necessarily what you think it is.

Myself? National conservative (bordering on nationalism); Unionist; classical liberal; civic nationalist; anti-immigration; anti-multiculturalism; anti-EU.

I wouldn't call yourself "far-right" - in Europe, this means neo-Nazis, white nationalists/supremacists, fascists, and other nutters.

Green Socialist, radical feminist, strident secularist, pro-legalisation of drugs...

...but I'm also fairly Eurosceptic and sceptical of multiculturalism.

I'm also much more level-headed and pragmatic that that list of ideologies suggests. :lol:

^ People get the wrong idea about me from the last one. I'm actually sceptical of multiculturalism because I'm a feminist (you don't have to live in Longsight to work out how I'd arrive at one conclusion from another).

Understandably. My reasoning behind it is that it is essentially setting up separate and conflicting identities within a nation as practised here.

I have no problem with that in theory, you see. It's just that in practice, we ignore human rights in the name of tolerance. Either you believe in a free secular society, or you don't. People should not make exceptions based on ethnic background, because that is true racism.

He's okay, sometimes.

I wouldn't use it because people - on the left - will use that as a slur. Calling someone "far-right" when they aren't is a pretty serious insult here.

And, yes, I agree with you - a lot of bad behaviour is either ignored or downplayed due to be wanting to be seen to tick the right boxes. Upshot is the bad guys win.
