How and why have you evolved politically?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Less than most people here, it seems. Been a socialist since more-or-less ever. Labourist/workerist with a definite religious (crazy bleak Protestantism) subtext. All of which is a reflection of family circumstances, background and so on. Never really seen politics as some kind of jolly abstraction or as some kind of consumer product.

I have shifted a bit from when I was younger though: my general political orientation is now towards the traditional Labour Right, but (and at the same time) my general view of society, politics and so is way to the left of what it used to be. I also regard this as a perfectly logical development: my admiration for T. Dan Smith is not actually ironic, even if it is complex.

Was that the Revolutionary Workers Party or the Workers Revolutionary Party?

Or perhaps the Party of Revolutionary Workers.

I had always heard that attributed to David Lloyd George.

The same David Lloyd George who at an advanced age (and to his eternal credit) was one of only a handful (literally) of Liberal MPs to not support the National Government?
