Generally a tolerant bloke.  
Except when it comes to punishing rapists, murderers and paedophiles (but not with the death penalty).  
Support asylum & EU integration (go euro!).  
Pro the abolition of firearms, also free university tuition.  
For global trade, but only under the proviso of rules which ensure it is fair.
 Want 3rd world debt to be abolished for all democratic nations, and a reward scheme to encourage non-democratic nations to democratise.  
For public transport investment ahead of investment in roads.
Pro speed cameras.
Anti war
Against the tabloid media

What does that come under?

True, this only covers one axis, so its only partially compehensive. I put down liberal.

aldo: liberal probably.

 
I'm not really sure what the word is.

I don't believe in democracy (anymore), i think countries should be ruled by a group of anonomous interlects, who aren't voted into power.  Thus they make the best decision, as apposed to the descision that will get them re-elected.  This sort of thing stops G W Bush getting into power.  The group of interlects would be monitored/moderated to prevent coruption by another group (with appropriate monitoring too).  Citizens would enjoy a reasonable amount of freedom in their lives, but be encouraged to make a valid contribution to the nation and be good citizens.
Unfortunatly i don't belive this form of goverment will be seen soon, as the general populace is too stupid/greedy to accept it.


But anyway
As far as my 'moral' standpoint, I am quite liberal, i do believe in things like abortion, legal recognition of gay couples etc.  
Imigration is something i've been thinking about a lot lately.  I'm a bit more conservative about this, i think asylum seekers should be closely screened, and only those let with valuable skills (ie doctors, teachers, educated people) let in to the country.  Many imigrants make a valuable contribution to the nation, but equally some are welfare cheats and even terrorist.  Those fleeing persicution surely have more places to go than just Great Britain.


Ultimatly I beleive in solving problems via the best solution, than taking a one sided politcal view and sticking to it.

Edit.
Mmmm, anyone for controversy?

So speaks the arm-chair philosopher. If you had ever lived under such a system, you would hold quite different views. Power without accountability/disposability is almost guaranteed to produce corruption and generally bad conditions for the population.
