Hmmm. Three people have tweeted me recently to say they like my writing but are confused that I call myself a liberal lefty coz I seem conservative to them. This confuses me! What do I say that seems conservative?

On all the tests, I come out libertarian left. My moral foundations are strongly liberal with just a slight nod to conservatism with some respect for tradition and a fairly low disgust threshhold.

My attitudes have changed tho and recently. I used to have a strongly 'us and them' mentality in opposition to conservatives and religious people. I don't now. The battlelines have changed.

I appreciate a wider range of views now and some of them come from conservatives and religious people. But this, I feel, is because I have become more consistently liberal, not less.

I would say it has actually moved to the right, and the postmodern pseudo-left are part of that phenomenon. How many of those people do you hear talking about organised labour and workers’ control? Or state intervention in the marketplace?

The kind of fringe nonsense that you frequently criticize is widely perceived to be standard liberal orthodoxy.
