Hmmmm, over here you might have some folk say 'I'm red' but it's pretty rare to directly identify with a political party unless you're an actual member of that party. Or at least, it's not something I've very often encountered at all.

Not even "I AM THE LAW REFORM"?

Wonder if it's any more common among the Tories (actually the Conservative and Unionist Party, since the Tory party is officially no more). And whether the syntax of "I am a Tory" vs "I am Labour" gives the Conservative and Unionists any advantage. "Reform" does seem like a more effective name than Ukip: "I am UKIP the mighty and singular! And nothing is more English than UK IP!"

Ukip sounds almost as "foreign" and demonic as Maga. George W. Bush's Skull and Bones code name is Magog after all; "I am MAGA(G)!"

In my personal experience Republicans are much more likely to say "I'm a Republican" than Democrats are to say "I'm a Democrat". But I've probably heard "I'm a Marxist" or "I'm a socialist" more often than either, so I'm hardly representative....

[Edit: correction: the Tories are officially the "Conservative and Unionist Party".]

Gee I personally identify as a flaming liberal.

I mean if a working class person says 'I am a Tory' then they're gonna be seen as a bootlicker at best, so...
