I consider myself pan-political: I support the most effective political practice for a given scenario, irrespective of where it sits on the political swingometer. I'm an opponent of Party politics as I believe that just because one group 'gets it right/wrong' on one subject, or a group of subjects, it doesn't necessarily follow that they will do the same on other/all subjects. I'm quite utilitarian in that respect. That said, it's true, in the UK, that the most effective practices generally correspond with liberal or socialist perspectives; it's rare that I'll agree with a position on the right of the spectrum and even rarer that I'll agree with any extreme left/right position.
The 'austerity' politics of current right-wing UK administration make for a very effective illustration of my points.
