Lots of Holers saying that they aren't left or right.

Mmmm...Me thinks the 'individualists' doth protest too much!

Perhaps if they took the political compass test we could all actually discover the political positioning.

Is this even possible due to a) law, b) parliamentary procedure, c) the EU?

Also why should we care what the eu thinks.
We are leaving and the idea is to get the best deal possible for us.
Unless you are labour or the lib dems.....

I won't presume, but, I have definitely said this and it's true. What 'I' mean by this statement is I'm not ardent L/R. I've voted Labour and Conservative in the past and the affect it has had on my life has summed up to me always being worse off, whether it's Uni fees or VAT increases.

I actually did take a similar test and it said I was a UKIP voter Which I'm not.

I think that too many people make assumptions on others' political leanings based on their Brexit stance which isn't always relevant

There's an FAQ

From what I know the creators of the site hasn't been revealed other than being a collection of political journalists and a social history professor.

Ok, but what does freedom mean then?
Is this individual freedom, corporate freedom?

I'm not sure what point you're making here, sorry.

Freedom to speak your mind, freedom to decide where you spend your money, freedom to be able top protect your family, freedom to love your culture, country, history and flag.

Sure, but I was reacting to this, 'I'm not left or right' with what....I consider to be an interesting observation.

It's certainly true that when it comes to brexit that it has supporters for and against on both political ends.

Look, I agree that it's getting too far, I do. I do agree that i you have a British flag hanging out of your window, you are an instant racist or fascist. I personally don't have such a strong view or inclination towards a flag but that's me. However, I do believe a lot of young people just don't get that it wasn't long ago that the Nazis could have beaten us. Churchill, was also viewed in the day as a Farage/Boris type buffoon, but when it comes to fighting a war, we are all British and that is the era I think a of of us grew up in.

I just don't see how there's any laws that stop everything you've said from happening though. You can do whatever you want, but, you also have to have some self awareness of the people or place you say stuff in.

As for money. I have no idea who's controlling our money, apart from the banks.

What I will say is that you may look at this country's history with different tainted glasses to others, that's all.

If Farage follows through with his threat to stand a Brexit MP in every seat he could hilariously defeat both Remain and Leave. Scenes.

Some of us are longing for the day when you finally grow up.
