Well the UK election campaign is nearly done. Only a little while until the decision. Although I have a healthy skepticism of institutional politics (is there another kind? mmm), I urge people to look at the policies of each party.

The political compass website is excellent. It has a summary of UK parties on their scale of authoritarianism/libertarianism and left/right. I have been supporting a party, the Lib Dems (centerist, with right leanings), that is worryingly distant from my survey result position (very libertarian, quite left). Remember this is all relative (Labour and conservatives are moderate authoritarian, moderate right). Perhaps I should switch to the Green Party? They are more aligned with my views. What we really need is electoral reform, so I can vote for a party without it being lost in noise of “first past the post”.
