Doug, I think that most people are like Bobert and don't like labelling themselves. I for one don't see myself as being left or right, but someone collecting data for a poll company would. It's their job.

One of the problems is that I think I'm seen as a right winger by some because I believe in personal accountability. I'm not a bigot or cruel hearted and I'd prefer if the leaders of the Western world knew the names of their peers in other countries. I truly believe in 'hand ups' rather than 'hand outs' but that really labels you as a far-right winger in many people's minds.

I love this forum.
