I think that's a pretty astute comment. I certainly find it very difficult to identify with any political party these days, because my views on different issues range from"hard" left to "middle" right. I suspect that's at the heart of the disenchantment many people are feeling with politics in the UK right now. The parties still assume that because we agree with them on points a, g and w, then we should agree with them on most things, fitting nicely into their niche of the political spectrum. I know no-one of our generation for whom that's true.
