I think my problem (as I too have drifted leftwards) is that while I believe innovation and enterprise to be a more effective driver of prosperity than bureaucracy, the politicians nominally aligned with that position are no longer even hiding their willingness to use it to enrich their mates. As I go through the propositions in the Political Compass test, I’m finding that I’m instinctively reacting against statements that are obviously aligned with these people.
Interesting side note, my downloadable certificate says I’m now to the left of Nicola Sturgeon, which actually isn’t as awful as it sounds - she is charted nearthe dead centre of both axes, which is clearly a contrivance to try to make the SNP cause appeal to everyone.
(Edit) guess I should paste up my results (not the complete certificate, which is the one full of caricatures of notable figures) …
