PHEW! That was a bit lengthy!

Not to mention living in the USA, for all it claims an internationalist perspective.

This annoyed me a little as well. A couple of times I had to note "I am not sure what these terms mean, we don't use them much here" and "We don't have those things as much here as you guys maybe do, so my answers may not be as reflective of personal choice as you wish". And so on.

I did my best though. I too am 'liberal', I guess, but not 'bleeding heart'. I didn't tick liberal because I wasn't sure it would be accurate, I vaguely remember disagreeing with a lot of liberal policies on money and things. American term usage, confusing. Conservative to me means do I like David Cameron.

European liberal and conservative are different from US liberal and conservative. It's gotten worse in the last 20-30 years as the Republican party's base has redefined "conservative" to suit themselves. Barry Goldwater would not recognize what conservative has become here in the US.

Sounds like a good thread for one of the other forum areas.
