politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » This questionnaire on the “Values and Identity” clans of GB is well worth doing
There's an online questionnaire here to find out which "value clan" you belong to https://t.co/WEX6o88OAA pic.twitter.com/aIIz2vJe8D

And I am also an orange booker.
Not surprising, really.
A. Sorry, I can't tell you for legal reasons!
( I thank you!)
No surprise for me.
No surprise for a reverse watermelon.
(I must have done the questionnaire wrong?)
Because he got a better offer?
I think it must be because I don’t believe much in absolutes that are not maths related: no debate possible on conservation charge, not so sure about the death penalty.
Still Global Green* for me.
(*Although, there is only one question that mentions the environment so I am not sure how Green that makes me. I'd like to think I am environmentally aware but I'm not a ban-the-car, no-new-roads, veggie or anything like.)
Think you guys really need to move to https soon...
FPT: JosiasJessop: re thankfulness/happiness
We have two young adults with additional needs , both physical and mental. Their future without us to support them terrifies us (an under statement). We have very rarely had time apart from them, but there is always someone worse off...
This report is heartbreaking :

According to the analysis that comes afterwards, GGs comprise 45% of guardian readers and about a quarter of Remain voters (with CSS being only slightly smaller slice).
However it says my age group are supposed to be mostly proudly patriotic and bastions of tradition.
It's not really an "issue" it's just the latest updates to Chrome are really starting to flag up non-https websites.
Google are really, really pushing websites to convert to https now. It will probably soon reach the point where they'll stop their ad's from appearing on non-https websites.
Russia seeks to capitalise on Brexit after blocking Liam Fox's WTO plan

With the decline of social class voting in favour of "values based" voting, it is an interesting experiment, but : "There are two kinds of people in the world: those who divide the world into two kinds of people, and those who don't"
"The Measured Middle clan tend to have balanced social views, with high numbers opposed to open borders and multiculturalism. On social issues, they are fairly liberal, believing more needs to be done in order to achieve gender and LGBT equality, but are more conflicted on issues such as adolescents choosing their own gender identity. TMM are known for not having very strong political views."
If objections instantly stopped trade it would be chaos.

I can keep @Casino_Royale company
Does that make me a bleeding heart liberal?

We are influenced by our social milieu, but do have individuality, however idiosyncratic.
Most Remain voters, I think, see many flaws with the EU. Most leave voters see many drawbacks with leaving. The natural answer to everything starts with ;on balance...'. And consequently you get Metropolitan public sector youngish* leavers and old poor rural remainers, each of whom represent the middle distance of their respective bell curves.
*in my head I'm still youngish, anyway. My body is in its early 40s. Well, early-to-mid.
If you can't see the drawbacks of choosing one over the other right now, then you are either a fanatic, ideologue, or haven't really thought about it much imho.
*May not have been a hawk. Some sort of massive carnivorous bird, at any rate. The victim was definitley a dove, though.

If we keep adding to the list of those we can’t offend, by what logic do we exclude the elderly, the obese and the ugly?"

I'm not going to name names.
"Wait here" he said, and went out to his back garden to fetch a dove.
He then demonstrated how a dove would consent to being rolled into a small ball and stuffed into a pocket. "No other bird is like that," he added.
* He's also a realtor. Because everyone is LA is also a realtor.
If you think a dove has a lot of feathers, you should see a deconstructed pigeon.
I ended up an Orange Booker, but could quite easily have answered quite a large number of the questions a little differently.
What ever that means. Centrist Dad?

Later Friday afternoon, as he departed Washington for a rally in Charlotte, Trump told reporters he has no plans to tone down his rhetoric — “I could really tone it up,” he said — and noted that the suspect “was a person that preferred me over others.” He also rejected the notion of responsibility: “There’s no blame. There’s no anything.”....

...She told me about her mixed thoughts about Trump, about her frustrations with the news coverage of his administration, about her utter exasperation with what she considers the extremist politics on both sides that are ripping the country apart, about her desire for more moderates, about how that’s what she sees in McCready, about her daughters and how she doesn’t want them to have to put up with sexism and harassment at the office or anywhere else, and about the very real weight that she feels as a swing voter in a swing district in 2018.
And then she told me she actually hasn’t made her decision yet...
The Independent's ' Final Say ' Brexit petition will hit 1m signatures today. It'll generate somessocual media coverage. I'm not a fan of the Change.org model but it's a level killing field and 1m is a sign of counter mobilisation if little else.
Those in the Bastions of Tradition & the Individual clan combine support for a small state and low taxation, with 'small c' conservative views on social issues, immigration and family life. Members of the BTI Clan are strong supporters of traditional British institutions such as the Royal Family and tend to celebrate Britain's colonial heritage.
Like @YellowSubmarine, I did not like the loaded nature of the questions. The global warming question says a lot about the people who put this together. Note too, that the description above makes a judgement about my views on the Royal Family and our colonial heritage - yet neither are asked about which is odd.
The one question that I had a real problem with was the one about the gender identity of adolescent children. Again, I think that says more about the people who put this together as they are deliberately picking the dubious point in time. Had they asked about kids that had gone through puberty I'd let them do what they want (though I guess I'll be picking up the tab through my taxes!).
I think a much more challenging question for people not in my "clan" would be "should pre-pubescent children be allowed to do it?" I've seen stories about that on the news and I think it's bonkers, but appreciate that others may think differently.
Then, for the online version, they'd take just one or two questions from each cluster, and use these to infer your answers to the rest. It is less accurate for individuals but the broad sweep will be correct.
At the moment, AIUI, he’s simply saying he’s never harassed anyone. But asking the question is up there with ‘have you stopped beating your wife’, isn’t it.
