nsc is bound to have a left-wing biased due to the fact that it counts amongst it's number peeople from a liberal-thinking city and those who can operate a computer.

a town that has mostly return tory mp's and has managed a massive pr exercise and has benefited from better transport links to london than other seaside resorts in the last 20 years you mean.

this myth of birghtons intrinsic liberalism certainly has some basis in truth, but i do find the people who proclaim it the loudest dont really understand its real roots, rather nail their colours to its mast unquestioningly or for their own agendas.

I appear to be equal with Dandyman as the most economically Left Wing and the most libertarian to reply so far.

whilst I'm not surprised, The worrying thing is I know a fair few lefties that scare me.

I left Brighton in 1983, the year that Brighton Conservative party first lost overall control of the council. At that time both councils and all three Mp's for Brighton and Hove had always been Conservative, except for the 6 years in teh 60's that Dennis Hobden had held Kemp Town.

in the years since all three seats have been Labour for half the time and now Pavilion has the only green MP, and both councils have been in Labour control for some of the past 27 years.

When I come back now Brighton and particularly Hove look and feel totally different from the deeply conservative towns I left.

My libertarian one (a couple of pages back) was -8.15 but I'll happily let you claim the title.

Truthfully I totally know what you're saying. There is a reason I've chosen to stay in Tottenham all these years, rather than return to the city I still see as where I'm from. There is a liberal smugness to Brighton that makes the miserable down to earthness of Tottenham seem a relief.

You should move to Portsmouth then. We do miserable down to earthness as a career option.

That's because the left are just as keen to control our lives as the right are.

The problem with the left leaning Libertarian is they edge too close to anarchy at times.

its the anarchists I know that scare me the most.

Sometimes being involved with the left, makes me feel like a social worker for societies malcontents

OK, some time after my previous shot I had another go:

Economic Left/Right: -4.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.97

...which puts me somewhere between Mandela and the Dalai Lama...not a bad place to find yourself!

That rather depends on the circumstances. *scrubs sexual imagery from brain*
