Middle of the road politicos have dulled our morals

I came across an interesting website called yourmorals.org while reading an article on why British politicians can never agree. It is a very comprehensive set of surveys that gives you a chance to uncover your conservative or liberal consciousness. Or, to reaffirm gladly held prejudices about your own moral make-up.

With a middle right political scene here in Ireland and a disastrous Government dedicated to self-service and maintaining power over any discernable ideological vision I had given up on morals and Irish politics. There just doesn’t seem to be any point in applying them to the ridiculous set of circumstances we find ourselves in; brought about by greed, avarice and unhealthy relationships that fertilised our crony-capitalist state over the last decade or so.

But the University of Virginia has helped change my mind. Have a look at some of the surveys. If you are like me then your morality will begin to crystallise and it may even help you sort out those looking for your vote the next time.

In the meantime have a look at poster politics rewritten, as presented by the Guardian (an example is above). These shots are laced with commentary from each artist. A picture does paint a thousand words and all that.
