For Brits (and anyone interested)
#11
RE: For Brits (and anyone interested)
Oddly enough, I (the dyed-in-the wool Socialist I am) got 50% Conservative, and 1/6 each of Labour, LibDem, and either Green or UKIP.
I think the results can be chalked up to several things:

* Many of the things that conservatives in the States find too revolutionary to put into use in America are seen as so fundamental to the UK that even the conservatives would find them to be no-brainers.
* There are some points I agree with on a lot of sides. Hell, even I had found the "Health Tourism" point of the motherfuckers in the BNP to be somewhat alluring, but the fact that you had to wholeheartedly agree with one party on each issue was a major problem.
* Somehow, the language in the platform made less sense to me when made peculiar to the UK. I backed the Conservative policy on crime after finding theirs talking about prison reform.
