Tom and Chris explain the axes of politics

Tom Steinberg and Chris Lightfoot have done a presentation that uses YouGov data to place us all - net users, Guardian readers etc - in a world with compass points that lie economically between Mrs T and Lenin and in terms of openness and compassion somewhere between Kilroy-Silk and the Hampstead police. It shows UKIP at the heart of the Tory party, not at the far right.

It’s rather good I reckon.

  1. Interesting, and more useful than most recent comment. However, I have difficulty placing my own confused opinions on their particular charts.

    I hope that we will soon see a re-emergence of open debates about political beliefs and philosophies.

    Those can be far more interesting and engaging than arguments about the fine detail of individual policies.

Ideal Government

Let's say what we want from e-enabled government. Let's observe government first-hand. Let's say "Wouldn't It Be Better If" (WIBBI). Become an ethnographer of bureaucracy today! It beats getting frustrated with public services.
