26/08/2010 Rediscovering My Own Political Ideology
Recently I’ve started to question my own political alignment, not whether I’m a tory or any other party, but how aligned I feel within my own party. There are things I disagree with, things I agree with. But I’ve always just put my political beliefs down to being a Tory whenever I’ve been asked.
My views breakdown like this:
- The need for a free market, and reducing the red tape to let business spent more time working.
- The state should only be there as a safety net, not as the ladder upwards.
- Strongly in favour of the death penalty, the penalty should be for murder, rape and paedophilia.
- Advocate of loosening the regulation around cannabis with a move towards legalising it.
- I am strongly against the EU, I believe that reverting back to simple trade treaties would benefit us more.
I’ve also attached my political compass, showing a slightly liberal right winger. Apparently I’m still as tory as I thought I was.
