Independent. The things I care about, like education and schools, aren't really talked about by either party enough.

Social Democrat

Progressive

I am issue focused. I don't understand the question.

Somebody give me a test as I've no idea what category I fit into. I don't have any political stance but some folk like to label others so..

So are parties, which party focuses on your concerns most.

Here's the test:

Look at each party's Wikipedia page and read their descriptions; which description do you align with more?

Labels are for cans.

The parties are not issues focused. Look at the Obamacare bullshit. The Democrats went with a Republican healthcare plan and every Republican voted against it because the other side did it.

Parties typically have 1 stance you agree with and 10 you disagree with.

Left-leaning centrist, which is pretty middle of the road.

Then where's your freedom dividend? And why is your welfare state punier than ours? And why are your conservatives anti-immigration?

I'm thinking of switching to being a Constitutional Monarchist, but we don't have a monarchy and our government seems to barely concern itself with the constitution with all of this "living document" rot.

Meaning center left or left-skewing-towards-center?

A republican healthcare plan is throwing daddy's wealth at the friendly doctor, educate yourself lol

But one party agrees with one stance 60% while another agrees with another stance of yours 30% so 60% of 1/10 is better than 30% of 1/10.

This of course ignores that parties have overarching principles while the individual politicians have specific stances. You can align with the party while not aligning with the politicians currently in power.

Our state welfare far outstrips the US, there are a shit tonne of freebies and rights we take for granted in the UK that the US aren't even aware of. We don't have commie-fornia rules, but we're an established functioning nation, not entitled thespians.

Our conservatives are strongly pro-immigration, they love getting in Indian doctors at cut rates with subpar qualifications undermining UK world-class doctors or turning a blind-eye to Eastern European human trafficking to undercut construction labour.

Brexit is about control over finance law because we abuse the shit out of tax evasion to bring in business, immigration is something all sides want but for different reasons.

The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank came up with it and Mitt Romney implemented it when he was governor of Massachusetts. The Republicans only started hating it after Obama started supporting it.

Because the Republican party has made fighting human trafficking a priority? >_>

Except for, you know, the fact that a major part of Brexit involved stoking anti-immigrant fears.

It's as though healthcare is a generally good idea but only the liberals were willing to implement it federally and most republicans do not want even a variation heavily watered down by Republican anti-welfare mentality.

While coverage isn't uniform across the US, many of our areas have coverage that absolutely dwarfs the UK's and, unlike the UK, when we give shit for free, we don't cut corners much of the time. And many of our areas go left of your left.

It's not anti-immigrant to not trust the EU's far left agenda lol Britain wants immigrants that integrate, not ones who are allowed to enter despite not even speaking English. Free movement is far more lax than anything the US has ever seen, to reject it is not to be anything like US immigration policy.

Yes there are commie-fornia outposts across the US, and that complete lack of uniformity is part of right-wing decentralisation that the UK does not engage in.

No, just that many people make exceptions for skilled labor. US and UK conservatives are pretty against unskilled immigrants without means to support themselves.

So basically you're saying that both of your parties use the same verbiage as Republicans and Americans with harder-line stances regarding immigration? Keep in mind that even American Democrats have occasionally suggested opening borders and quite a few high-profile Democrats have all but suggested eliminating borders.

Everyone is against immigrants with no means to support themselves.

A few high-profile Democrats are outright batshit crazy Marxists, that does not make Democrats as a whole batshit crazy Marxists. We also have those spattered across the political spectrum running councils. The UK is softer on immigration than the US by a long shot, but we have more of a push away from immigration because our policies are already vastly more loose than yours. The policeman who wants to leave the force is not on the same moral level as the mobster who wants to leave the Mafia.

They're not immigrants. Refugees can get immigrant status, but it does have certain requirements.
