I like World's Smallest Quiz better.
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Centrist with the occasional and tempory tilt to the Left or the Right and Libertarian or Authoritarian. I see myself tilting to the right more than the left. The quiz is fudged.
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Swinger.
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: I'm a swinger, so no permanent Party loyalties.
Religion: Agnostic. I'm as suspicious of atheists as I am of organised religion and spirituality (like Paganism).

Abortion: I believe that in the first 3 months, it shoud happen whenever the woman wants. After that time I'd rather abortions not occur.
War in Iraq: For, but when the West stayed after Saddam was killed, I became against. Bad planning to.
Marijuana: Undecided, probably should be introduced and taxed. It's going to happen anyway so we should at least make money of it.
Firearms: They are allowable, but a cap on how many and what grade it needed. You don't need 10 Gatling guns for example.
Gay Marriage: Approved. They are people.
Gay adoption: Approved. They are people.
Religion in schools: Religious education is needed to understand religions. But the curriculum must focus on several religions rather than just Christianity or just Islam.
Death penalty: For, but only in the most bestial of crimes. Like serial murder/rape for example. Terrorists are the exception. Put them on a cold rocky island somewhere isolated as they want to die and we should be cruel enough to spare them death.

DEFENCE BUDGET: Increase it to around 80 billion, and cut the RAF budget. It's the most redundant of all the services.
