Me, you, Diane and Dean so far.
And then there's the "Slight Right" club with charter members Roger and
Bill. They are so much alike those two!

Apart from this apparent small political alignment I'm wondering what
else this last comment relates to?

You may lean conservative, but you're not unreasonable about it. At
least, that has always been my impression of you.

Add another.
On the other hand, the fact that it has become a useful diagnostic
question to ask whether expertise is even useful makes me think that traditional political categories are becoming meaningless in the age of Trump.

Roger and I are apparently the only two moderates in our little group, According to this:
https://www.pewresearch.org/topic/politics-policy/political-parties-polarization/political-typology/
There are three tiers to the right of Ambivalent Right and only one to
the left of Establishment Liberal.

Now don't be silly.
There is nothing "wishy washy"--as you put it--about my political stance
Look, it's not really a well-designed quiz. And it doesn't really tell-----------
us anything about the political spectrum, because, for example, most
real "conservatives" in the U.S. are more like George Bush Sr. & Jr. or
Mitt Romney, and less like the bomb-throwing right wingers who refer to themselves as "conservatives" but do not fit the classical definition of limited-government pro-privatizing libertarians.

It might be well-designed to predict vote in the Trump era.
I think that even the Bushes, Romney, Cheney, and Pence would lean left
on this particular test.
Maybe they would be hilariously categorized as "Democratic Mainstays."

No way. Those people are all strong conservatives on almost all of these questions. They just are against Trump.

So Bob, you think that Bill and Roger are more conservative than the 2 Cheneys?

It's more the simplistic results that are of limited value - for
assessing an individual's collection of political stances. A voter who
is generally left of center might have one or two 'disguised' mid-right stances on key issues. For instance, Geoff is against *mass* immigration because it might eventually cause serious problems in society (regarding cultural values, and/or housing affordability and demands on public
service infrastructure.)

OTOH Roger is perfectly OK with measured legal migration where the
incoming parties are often bringing job qualifications and expertise
with them.
What Roger is totally against is the huge amount of ILLEGAL migration currently going on VERY big time from France to England across the
narrowest part of the English Channel (22 miles or so wide) near Dover.
Instead of treating these people with kid gloves and placing them often
in three and four star hotel rooms at HUGE expense to the UK taxpayer
they should be turned around at sea and forced back to France regardless
of the inevitable French reaction.
Such action would mean us leaving the ECHR (the European court) plus
passing new legislation forbidding the immigrants from mounting any kind
of legal challenges against such action and preventing any UK lawyers
acting on their behalf on pain of being struck off
NOW we're getting someplace!!
What Roger is totally against is the huge amount of ILLEGAL migration currently going on VERY big time from France to England across the

So why are these migrants coming from France to England? Why don't they
just stay in France? Is there something about the UK that makes it a
better place for them to come to than France?

There are several reasons why some immigrants who arrive in France choose
to take the risk of crossing the Channel to the UK:

Obviously I had to "translate" some of the questions to a more British setting but it seemed to work okay
