your political views

[aesop]

there is a test at

Political Compass


that tries to gives a reading of your political views.

It takes three minutes to do. My results were

Economic Left/Right: -5.75
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -6.36

I noticed the wording of the questions is slightly biased in favor of the left, so I guess you just take this for what you think its worth.

 

[Frodo]

almost right in the middle

Economic Left/Right: 1.50
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -1.28

 

[The Ewok]

Economic Left/Right: 4.12
Authoritarian/Libertarian: 4.38

Whatever that means

 

[Lestat]

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -4.62
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -0.72

This has been done before, but I took the test again anyhow.

Same results as before. Right spot bang on the same as Ken Livingston, better known as 'Red Ken'.
Guess I am a leftie. Who would have thought it!

Shinners, if I remember correctly last time you had a nasty shock and found out you were really a closet leftie! Who was it again? Robin Cook I think? The Tory basher!

But Ken Livigston has been recognised as a looney even by the looney left

I'm happy being closer to Mahatma Gandhi than Myhatmy Coat......

 

[Wicked Lester]

Wow!

Economic 3.88
Authoritan/Libertarian -3.18

I guess that makes me some sort of idealist. I certainly don't feel like one.

 

[Port1978]

Economic Left/Right: -3.26
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -2.87

 

[knuckles]

Starboard.

Yep, I'm a Leftie, too.

I must say, that reading posts of the many people on this board, I haven't been surprised yet at any of the results that you have given.

 

[Dave]

Seen it before, did it before.

Economic Left/Right: -8.75
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -5.28

Hi Bee!

 

[Mr Q]

Economic Left/Right: -4.00
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -3.74

Bit more Libertarian than I thought I'd be, but pretty much spot on economically.

 

[Frodo]

What battle.......

It just shows that the apathetic majority don't visit this site in great numbers...........

 

[Mobbs]

Economic Left/Right: -4.00

Sheeee ZUS!

That's a TINY bit more libertarian than authoritarian, and yet quite left.

That's reckless of me ... posting my true position on the scale when it flies in the face of my political GUI!

Yes there is 3 types of PPL

Those who make things happen

Those who watch things happen.

Those who say "what happened"

I have allways said that to my children and encouraged them to be one of thase that "make things happen"


And I think i have had an effect! Non of my 4 children have ever been on the dole and never been out of work!

I useed to be a bit of a leftie but have gone mor right as I have got older and relaisled that the world doesn't owe me a living!

Since when has being right wing meant the world doesn't owe you a living............there's just as many of those types on both sides of the equation............

 

[Tony_Clifton]

economic -6.25

What do you call a hippie in a suit?
The defendent

Mhuh!
