Question Title

* 2. Tim Montgomerie has called for a new, four-party system that reflects the main dividing lines in British politics. We have tweaked his titles and list, below. Which would you vote for?

A Left-Wing Party: Socially radical, strongly pro big state, public sector-focused, wants out of the EU, strongly pro-immigration.

A Centre-Left Party: Strongly socially liberal, leans to economic interventionism, public sector-reforming, EU-enthusiastic, supportive of high levels of immigration.

A Centre-Right Party: Mildly socially liberal, leans to free market economics, public sector-reforming, EU-sceptic, supportive of low levels of immigration.

A Right-Wing Party: Socially conservative, strongly pro small state, private sector-focused, wants out of the EU, strongly anti-immigration.

None of the above.
