You have a negative social score and an econ score less than +3. You're not a red meat con. You're center-left.
lol being +3 on econ is not being center left. In europe that would be being a nutjob and in America that is a being a pretty typical moderate Republican.

Please, your ignorance is showing.

No, in europe all major political parties support universal healthcare, loads of welfare, government controlled hospitals, etc. I'm sure you can counter this because you are actually from Europe but how many American-type conservatives are really there?

I think you have a very high view of the extent of European welfare. Obviously this varies from country to country, but in most places the welfare benefits really aren't much more generous than in the US--though unemployment benefits are. Yes, all major political parties in Europe support universal health care, but most don't support government controlled hospitals--many countries in Europe have social insurance systems, not NHS-type ones.
Actually read the Tory or Fianna Fail manifestos from the latest elections and see that the difference is hugely inflated. There aren't many American style conservatives, but that's because most European conservatives don't care about social issues, and so conservative parties are formed of different coalitions than in the US. Also, I really don't think a typical American conservative only has a +3 economic score.
