The most right wing man in the country

Don't you just love those 'who should I vote for' surveys. Here's another, which tells me this:

Compared to the whole population...

99.6% are significantly to your left
0.4% have views about the same as yours
0.0% are significantly to your right

and my favourite finding:

compared to women...

100.0% are significantly to your left
0.0% have views about the same as yours
0.0% are significantly to your right

I love the idea that, according to the survey, there is not a single human being in the country who is more right wing than me. Others might conclude that the methodology is therefore spot on, but since one of my answers was that I strongly agreed that Most immigrants are beneficial to the UK, I think it's back to the drawing board for whoever compiled the test.

UPDATE:
The dangers of blogging when on the move: I failed to spot that I am only the single most right wing person in the country, according to the survey, on public and private involvement in the economy, international trade, redistributive taxation... and Iraq.

Ho hum. Quite what is right wing about believing that murderous dictatorial regimes which pose a threat to global safety should be toppled is beyond me.

And the same goes for believing that public services should be run efficiently.

Still more ludicrously, it advises me to vote for UKIP.
