What is Boris exactly?

16 Mar 2007 - JG

Don't forget to vote in the "what is Boris anyway?" poll.

I agree with bgprior - Boris is a sharp cookie and is playing the rest of us for the fool. His blog is excellent (if only it were updated more often) and his knowledge on a range of subjects is of the highest order. He is also his own man and not afraid to speak out - hence he is often lampooned in the media yet at the same time he is loyal to old school pal Dave. He is trapped in no man's land - if left to himself I believe he would be a individualist, but he is too loyal to the party to really express this. If you look at his voting record on Theyworkforyou.com, it gives you a little insight in to his political beliefs:

  • Moderately against introducing a smoking ban.
  • Moderately against introducing ID cards.
  • Quite strongly against introducing foundation hospitals.
  • Quite strongly against introducing student top-up fees.
  • Moderately against Labour's anti-terrorism laws.
  • Very strongly for the Iraq war.
  • Moderately for investigating the Iraq war.
  • Very strongly against the fox hunting ban.
  • A mixture of for and against equal gay rights.

I voted for Individualist, but as it's Boris, I reckon we give him his own category.
