I'll take reflected glory no problem man.

Yearrgh I thought you might.

Still.

Well at least you have tried to defend it. But you are wrong it's not a stereotype it's fact. Are the Tories trying to sell off the nhs? Yes. Have they taken benefits off disabled people? Yes. Did they bring in the bedroom tax and force people out of family homes? Yes. Have people committed suicide because of fears of being forced back to work? Yes. Have they given tax breaks to thier rich mates? Yes. I really could go on and on.

That isnt a different way to run the country that's destroying people's lives and selling off institutions and public services so thier mates can make lots of money.

How exactly is thier social policy going to benefit the country? They want to abolish the human rights act!

I'll put it like this. I know it isn't fully scientific, but the ISideWith.com quiz gives you scores on a number of different political measures. For me, I think it is pretty reflective of what I personally believe in.

Do any of these characteristics make me a bad or evil person? No.
Does it mean my views most closely match those of the Tories? Yes.
That similarity of attitudes means that I support the Conservatives. They most closely reflect my views on how the country should be governed. Which is why I will vote for them. It doesn't contradict my support for Everton in any way.

Never bought me a pint though you tight facist monster.

Facist ?

 

[WycombeToffee]

No one has the right to tell you who to vote mate. The point is how do you feel about the vast vast majority of Evertonians despising you as you're a southern voting Tory? I can't tell you how to feel either. Just a question.

Personally, I don't care what other Evertonians would think of me. They are entitled to their views. But when I support Everton and go to Goodison, it doesn't bother me in the slightest. It is irrelevant to my support of Everton IMO.

Are you a politiction? As you never answered anything I said. I already know you vote Tory didn't need a graph to prove it.

So the Tories are trying to destroy Merseyside. If they managed it Everton may not exist. Would you support the Tories then? Would you be happy they have destroyed a whole region in your utopian Tory world? Who would you support football wise then?

I would call it a conflict totally.

I think we all need to do this test and post our results, only then can we truly heal.

I'm scared to click any link of yours in case it signs me up to Breitbart.

What was your scores Danners?

 

[Joey66]

Agreed. Maybe we should have some sectarianism as well and ban Protestants (if you believe that Everton are the Catholic team) or Catholics (if you believe Everton are the protestant team) from supporting us.

Religion in our club was a myth If you read our formation it was from a Methodist church - do you really need it to be like the Celtic Rangers era in the 1960s?
I don't think so politics and religion have no place in football among the same fans of our club!

Strange, first i answered honestly and got 72% Tory 71% UKIP and 60% BNP. I then did it again answering what I thought were full on right wing responses and got 10% less for UKIP and Tory and a mere 32% BNP.

Hahaha. I'm terrified to try it in case it blows apart my previous few days campaigning in here by exposing me as conservative values.

 

[chicoazul]

Phew. Labour 65%, Lib Dem 60, Jocks 60, Sheep 57, Hippies 55, Gerry Adams 52, Tories 48, Dem Union 41, UKIP 40, BNP 30.
