I'm on the right of the British left, if that makes sense(!)
That is I support considerably higher taxes on the rich, more public spending, nationalisation of power,water and public transport, much more state owned housing but I don't go to the extremes of those who want to nationalise everything or abolish private housing or ban private cars or start a global revolution. And such people certainly still exist in the UK!
On social issues I'm pretty liberal- very pro gay marriage and (more reluctantly) pro choice. In general religious issues are much less important in British (and European) politics than in the USA, they cross party lines. It was a Conservative led government who introduced same sex marriage in the UK.
Gun rights aren't even on the agenda over here. I'm not sure any UK politician favours the right to bear arms, and I can't say I'm sorry about that.
Getting this somewhere vaguely related to broadcasting, I would keep the BBC and maybe raise the licence fee a bit but I wouldn't want to go back to a world without commercial TV and radio.
