What type of Liberal Democrat are you?

This test will sort you into different types of Liberal Democrat. In case you aren't aware, the Liberal Democrats are the third biggest (by vote share) party in the UK. Whilst relatively small, there's still a good amount of diversity among them.

While this test will act like you're a member of the Liberal Democrats, don't worry if you aren't a member or a supporter, it's all in good fun anyway.

Which of these statements on the 2010 to 2015 Lib Dem - Tory Coalition is closest to your views?
- We should have used the opportunity to seize control of the state and establish a Liberal Workers' Republic.
- It was a horrible mistake that allowed austerity to ravage the country, we should make sure it's never repeated.
- I'm too busy delivering FOCUS leaflets to care.
- It was completely justifiable, it allowed us to get the economy back on track after the financial crash and achieve many of our political goals. It's a tragedy that Clegg took the fall for it.
- It was probably a mistake, but we managed to achieve plenty of good while in it regardless. It's not relevant in 2023 anyway.
Which of these non-UK politicians do you like the most.
- Javier Milei
- Joe Biden
- Bernie Sanders
- Mao Zedong
- I don't care about non-Lib Dem politicians
- Lula
Which of the following best matches your views on how to deal with the UK's housing crisis?
- We need to build far more social housing, as well as implementing rent controls. Landlordism and Thatcherism are the clear causes of this crisis.
- We have more empty houses than homeless people in this country, those who want to build more private housing care more about developers' profits than human need.
- Our planning system has gutted how much housing we build. We need to fiercely deregulate the planning system to allow far, far more private housing to be built. Rent controls are a red herring that will only make the crisis worse.
- We ought to make sure we have a strong stock of cheap, social housing as well as making it easier to build private housing, so long as that doesn't mean watering down environmental regulation.
- Mao.
- As long as we vote Lib Dem we'll get through it.
Which of these UK PMs do you agree with most politically?
- Tony Blair
- Clement Attlee
- Margaret Thatcher
- David Lloyd George
- Liz Truss
- Harold Macmillan
Which of these statements best matches your views on the European Union?
- The EU is too neoliberal, while we shouldn't have left, we shouldn't be in a hurry to rejoin, especially since we'd have to rejoin the Euro.
- We should focus on turning the UK into a Liberal Workers' State guided by Marx before turning our gaze to the rest of Europe.
- Leaving the EU was undoubtedly a bad idea, we should rejoin the Single Market but not the full EU since we'd have to join the Euro.
- Leaving the EU was an awful idea and we should try and rejoin fully as soon as possible.
- The EU imposes too many regulations on us, leaving allows us to seek new trade partners and deregulate our economy.
- While the EU often passes awful regulations, the trade and economic benefits outweigh that. We should rejoin the Single Market at least.
- I'd have to check what the Lib Dems' policy is right now.
Which of the following statements most aligns with your views on trade unions?
- Many of them support Labour over the Liberal Democrats, rendering them counter-revolutionary. Were they to support the Lib Dems they would be useful tools in achieving a Workers' State, though they should be directly controlled by the state.
- We have them to thank for many of the benefits we take for granted. Solidarity with the strikers always!
- I wish they'd give their money to us instead.
- They have a clear benefit in allowing workers' to fight for fair wages and rights. While some regulation is fair, such as ballots being needed for strikes, they should have our support.
- Like any institution they can be deeply flawed, at best they help ensure workers' get fair treatment, at worst they hurt the economy and back damaging policies due to their own self-interest.
- They are an anti-market force that can only operate due to the government giving them full protection from the consequences of their actions. It should be legal to fire striking workers.
"Regulation in British society is out of control. The British government needs to get out of people's lives."
- Strongly Agree
- Agree
- Neutral
- Disagree
- Strongly Disagree
Which of these statements best matches your views on how to tackle poverty?
- The reason we have so much poverty today is because Thatcher and Austerity devastated the welfare state. We need to radically rebuild our welfare state in order to eradicate poverty from society.
- Once the workers' state has been built, we can eradicate poverty and need.
- Voting Lib Dem.
- We should have a strong safety net, but we also need to make sure we grow the economy. If we focus on allowing competition and enterprise to flourish and make sure there's a solid welfare state poverty will be a thing of the past.
- We need to deregulate the economy to ensure economic growth, as well as specifically deregulating the planning system to lower housing and rent prices.
- We need to slash government spending, cut tax, and deregulate the economy. Once we let our economy flourish freely poverty will take care of itself.
- We need to reform the welfare state to be more efficient, while not spending too much. We also need to cut taxes and deregulate the economy. We should also focus on getting people off welfare and into work.

- Canada
- Denmark
- Switzerland
- The USA
- China
