Suppose you lived in the United Kingdom, or maybe you already do, and are trying to compare as well as contrast your viewpoints from everybody else that's around you!

Try this quiz!

It breaks you up into one of seven little factions and then describes what's going on in the U.K. right now!

Some of the questions seemed odd.  E.g., pic related.  My answer is "strongly agree", but mostly due to AI and synthetic biology.  

It put me in "Backbone Conservatives".  FWIW, if I were British, I would probably vote for Reform.

Nothing against you, or against that result, but I'm now wondering... what's with that guy's arm in the image? It looks off?

...which is weird because I'm not highly-educated, not urban, not in work, hate Labour (at least right now), and try to be apolitical on social media.

But otherwise it's kind of a 'tell me something I don't know' situation.

And doing it myself (again)...

This isn't a surprise for me personally, but there's a lot of context that's also important, particularly since as an Irish-American I wish to see both the destruction of the United Kingdom as a political entity through a United Ireland and also the elimination of the British monarchy as a political entity.

There's also the fact that my hatred for the psychotic and nihilistic rich people in the United Kingdom running the economy into the ground (alongside other forms of idiotic financial policy meant to benefit elite property owners at the expense of everybody else) doesn't mean that I support what're essentially open borders. Neither do I like getting rid of what might call the assimilation process in promoting classical British values. To be frank, I'd agree with the immigration resurrectionists and patriots who talk about heritage and moderating social programs mostly if not maybe entirely, with those groups being on the right-wing usually.

I don't view the British monarchy and the cream-of-the-crop gentry as on 'my side', though, so there I'm totally against the right-wing in the U.K. If anything, I think having endless waves of downtrodden immigrants who destroy health systems, labor union systems, education systems, and other things by their sheer mass is exactly what the oligarchs who live in mansions and hate the poor want. I also share the desire to be far, far tougher on crime and criminals. Which, again, is something that appears to me to benefit the poor rather than the powerful elite, who likely would prefer to rule over a quasi-anarchy keeping the other groups below them unorganized.

From my point of view, left-wing social viewpoints and right-wing economic policies go hand-in-hand while right-wing social viewpoints and left-wing economic policies go hand-in-hand. I suppose. Hard to say that clearly, though.

Eh, it's still all quite interesting! I really think so!
