Wow, the BNP is straight up V for Vendetta.
As an aside, that website's graph of US Presidential candidates places Ron Paul way too far to the right. Way, way, way too far. He should be much closer to the middle, maybe 1/3 from the right if not more, and roudabout halfway toward libertarian if not more. Rick Santorum should be off to the northeast about 666 miles.

Norway has massive energy exports and Switzerland banking. They don't really need the import-export benefits that the EU brings.
If we left the EU our aerospace industry would hamstrung, and I believe the automotive would suffer too. And we certainly don't need any less manufacturing in this country.

True, but I was merely pointing out that being European and not being in the EU can work, given the right circumstances.
I'm of the opinion that Britain should remain in the EU for the economic benefits, but as I've mentioned in the eurozone crisis thread, total economic assimilation is a dangerous route.

That'll be about where the founders wanted us to be. Respectful of authority, though certainly not submissive. Peaceful debates and not lighting cars on fire. The correct amount of government allowing everybody to be freer, not too little government verging on anarchy.
I figured I'd be a little less conservative but whatever. I even supported the arts, man! I answered only a couple questions with "very strong" answers, and I found many of the questions to be vague. Definitions are important but this quiz was too open to interpretation in some areas, and used some terms in a modern context instead of an original context.

There is a bit of debate as to Labours standing on that chart.
Some may say they are right because they support buisness but I think they should coin the term of new socialism like new Labour.
The reason being although they support buisness and don't support things like nationalisation anymore they still want to use tax payers money to help those in need and the poor and put more money into government investment like the NHS. The Conservatives on the other hand want to just reduce tax as much as they can. They want to adapt socialism into a capatalist society rather than changing the system like true left wingers want to and the old Labour party wanted that to an extent.

What does abstract art have to with politics ? I suppose it moves you down a square if you like it but it's pretty irrelevant. Same for most of page 6.
I was dead centre by the way. More left wing than Labour.

Labour were centre-right minimum under the Blair/Brown era. Milliband is backed by the left, but the party still has strong whiffs of 'old' new Labour.

The art vs. business, abstract vs. practical thing suggests your attitude toward business in general. If you value business more highly than "art" then you're more likely to embrace benefits for business - if not, you're probably more likely to punish business in favor of freedom of expression. The idea of business inherently introduces some limitations to freedom of expression though trademarks, patents, copyrights, etc.What does abstract art have to with politics ?

The difference is actually quite apparent in everyday life. The abstract vs. practical comparison is full of stereotypes. Artsy farty hippies vs. working people who actually accomplish things, etc.
Dhandles, ya damn hippy. Stop drawing things and get a job!
