I suspect most of us are conservatives - we are certainly are not from the 'wets' (or even further to the left) which is where your loyalities (imo) apppear to align - along with most likely Mals.
As you (correctly) pointed out the other day, I most definitely have a different view / perspective compared from where you are coming from. And as the'wets' (or those even further to the left are now discovering from events in the US / UK) many other people share (particularly those away from the big city cafe late set) share those views. In other words they are not so 'increasingly isolated curmudgeons' and you would like to convince yourself into believing. And the bizarre thing is you see yourself as a Liberal!
