"The only part of the conduct of any one, for which he is amenable to society, is that which concerns others. In the part which merely concerns himself, his independence is, of right, absolute. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign." John Stuart Mill
This is the alternative answer we need to the prevailing ideology of statism and authoritarianism - a rebirth of the classical liberal ideals that made our country one of the most successful nations on Earth.

I'm 100% classical liberal according to that test. Unfortunately, the word "liberal" has come to mean the opposite of that. Same story with the word "conservative". I'm curious as to why the test wasn't entitled: "How Libertarian Are You?"
As far as I'm concerned, "liberal" and "libertarian" mean the same thing. Just because the statists have hijacked that word doesn't mean we've got to go along with it.
In that case, we'll just have to explain to the public that "liberal" doesn't mean "Nick Clegg" or "middle of the road".
