    What do I select for how important things are? From where I'm standing all that matters is the UK's commitment to defense and foreign aid.

    edit: LOL

      Answer it as if it was about America.

        90% UKIP, 86% conservative. To my shame, 64% BNP :barf:

        Is the UKIP indifferent on immigration or something? I answered pro-immigration and mostly conservative on everything else but drug use.

          The onus is on you to prove your premises correct... not on me to prove it wrong. Until you prove yourself correct, you are wrong... by default.

          The whole point of the thread was about a comparison with America. You're not making much sense, are you high or something?
          That would make two of us then.

          You don't think using specific political parties who are accepted as having an established position in the political spectrum, might be useful to support the theory about the two spectrums being offset?
          Different argument. The BNP has an established position. And they would be conservatives in America. I love that you think otherwise.


          Something you keep saying without actually bothering to write anything that could support your position.
          What position? My position is: You are wrong. You haven't proven your case. So far, I'm correct.

          Go get munchies. Possibly have a little lie down. Let's continue when you're actually capable of rational thought.
          More concessions huh? If you put as much effort into supporting your positions as you do trying to insult me, you might make some progress.

          But instead, you are just like me... only worse... because at least I don't claim to be anything more than a troll.
          To us, it is the BEAST.

            They're rabidly anti-immigration. You might have gotten 100% otherwise.

                UKIP. Easily. I get interesting results with strong opposition to the death penalty, increases in immigration and reduction in the size of the military.

                  Of course, yet the right wing parties here supporting positions that your right wing despise is already pretty strong supporting evidence.

                  Of course they'd be conservatives in America. Just not over here.

                  I've provided some supporting evidence such as the parties positions. You've so far just ignored them and simply said 'you are wrong'.

                  Trolling is much more effective when you take the effort to at least hide it a little bit.

                    The SNP results btw will likely be because they're extremely socialist, more so than the Labour party.

                      For comparison... the US quiz for me:

                      Green Party: 92%
                      Democrats: 88%
                      Socialist: 65%
                      Libertarians: 59%
                      Republicans: 13%

                        I have a question. Why is stance on abortion not part of the quiz?

                          Can you link to the US one please, I'd like to do a comparison too.

                            It's a UK based quiz, abortion isn't a relevant issue here.

                              Where's the US quiz? I bet I'll get about 86-90% republicans too.

                              In many ways abortion is actually more restricted in the UK than it is here (depending on state)...the only reason it remains a major issue is because of the fact that the courts got involved. It would always be controversial regardless but there would be more of a middle ground consensus.

                                So? It goes both ways. UK right wing parties support more extremists positions than the Republican Party.

                                Of course they'd be conservatives in America. Just not over here.
                                ... You know this goes against your premise... right? A party (apparently) not considered conservative in the UK is conservative in America.

                                I've provided some supporting evidence such as the parties positions. You've so far just ignored them and simply said 'you are wrong'.
                                Listing some key issues that the respective parties believe in does not support your point. For every single piece of information that you (incorrectly) think helps your premise, there are twice as many refuting your argument... and you yourself have posted information that contradicts your own position. Self pwnage

                                Trolling is much more effective when you take the effort to at least hide it a little bit.
                                "Trolling" and challenging you to make a better argument can be the same thing.

                                Also, just because you personally believe in something, doesn't make it true.
