FWIW, by US political standards, I am clearly to the left of center. Taking surveys from the British sites that were referenced by the Culture mailing list, I find myself very very slightly to the right of the British center (IIRC, on a scale that went from -10 to 10, I was 0.3 toward the conservative....as opposed to many Culturenicks who were in the -5 to -9 range (towards leftist). Indeed, Gautam, who left, stated that Bush was a D- president, and Bush won the majority of votes in '04. One of his favorite Harvard professors is Stanley Hoffman. If one googles for Hoffman's public writings, one would be very hard pressed to consider him anything but liberal. Indeed, from my perspective, most of the political posts here that are not my own, over the last few months, fit reasonably well into the Michael Moore wing of the Democratic party.
