ok, i was just wondering, precisely because i know UK politics - and probably mainland Europe politics, too - tend to be lefter than US. so i can see someone going 'but i'm a conservative!' if they *are*, according to the UK spectrum, but would still test out liberal/ democrat on the US spectrum.

myself, and most of my non-fannish flist are libertarian. we just sound more conservative because we tend to vote to keep our guns. i wish 'keeping our guns' didn't seem to go hand in hand with 'idiotic religiosity enshrined in stupid laws', though.
