1) I don't like the term gay 'marriage' - because I cling to the historical definition of the word. But I am in favour of legally sanctioned unions between gay couples, and full legal equivalence between these gay unions and marriages.

2) I'm not pro Republic. But then again, I'm not pro Monarchist. I'm just pragmatic and don't think there is enough to be gained from the cost, the distraction from important issues and to (a much lesser extent) the risk of changing the constitutional arrangements of what I consider to be the most broadly successful country on earth.

3) I don't want to see change in the fundamentals of our current system of government; democracy, universal suffrage, universal access to healthcare, education, police, legal system and the like.

4) Climate change is a funny one. I'll put it in just to get it out. I do believe in anthropogenic climate change. But I think our impact is less than the Green lobby suggest and definitely think the warming we have generated (and are likely to have in the next 100 years) is worth it - for the enormous number of people that have moved out of poverty and the improved standard of living for the luckier people like us.
