I’m pretty far to the left on just about everything, except for foreign affairs / defense. The western world needs strong military forces and strong and effective intelligence agencies to deal with the threats facing it. Decisions such as the one recently made in the UK reduce the size of the Army from 102,000 to 82,000, and the fact that the Royal Navy has 0 aircraft carriers now, will soon lead to the UK losing the Falklands, because when the Argentinians invade again, there simply won’t be anybody to send there to fight back, as was done in 1982. The same applies to all other European countries and to the US as well.

Aside from these affairs, though, I am decidedly left-wing regarding anything else: economy, education, health care, transportation, international cooperation, environment, personal freedoms…

And I’m not going to vote for any party that goes against my beliefs in both issues (ie, defense/national security and the rest). Meaning I have never in my life found a party I can vote for with full confidence, and probably never will – though in the UK, Labor seems not to be too bad (they oppose the cuts to the military, which the Conservatives are carrying out).
