I think I agree with my stance on authoritarianism/libertarianism though.</p> I am left -5.75 and libertarian -0.15…. but I don’t know if this poll adequately describes the differences between the parties… i.e. I see the need for a healthy business sector (National), and fair (but not extravagant) welfare and training, yet it puts me further left than the Greens!…..
