I think some of what John saw in it is what I felt. I thought that the questions were designed in such a way that they seemed to be written from the bottom left quadrant, postulating what people in the top right quadrant might think. It would be better if the question compilers had been from all of the range of political thought.

If you run a search on Tony Benn and Ken Livingstone, you should find some background on them, and make up your minds on where they stand. I feel happier to be near Benn than Ken, because Livingstone is a much more manipulative political practitioner. His ideas seem OK, but he's not transparent.
