Political Compass

Just thought I'd let you all know about this, take the test and it will place you on the political spectrum from left to right economically and socially. I think it would be interesting to post our results as well so I'll go first:

 

 

 

 

Nice to know I'm nowhere near any of the three major political parties in the UK then =P Although I did answer all the questions with my honest opinion, I think it might have a slight left bias o_O

[Dyson]

 

Interesting. Quite surprised how middle of the road I am there.

[jayseven]

I did the test, and fuck the immigrants, I am the Dalai Lama/Ghandi. Roxor!

[Goafer]

 

I am very tired and need sleep. So it may not be perfect. Stupid MGS4...

[Mundi]

 

I seem to end on this website on a near yearly basis, get similar results every time.

Though some of these questions are just silly :/

[Haden]

 

Not enough questions on that but I guess I am happy at where I am but I think if I got into a convo with someone about my views on various things it wouldn't be the same as this graph.

 

I see me and Dyson are the mature non hippie members of the forum lol

[Ramar]

 

Almost at Ghandi level, go me.. Still unsure about my politicalness...

[Daft]

I haven't slept in over 40 hours but I can tell you this, most libertarians have no idea what libertarianism means so this is all a load of crap.

 

I bet most people here have no idea what libertarianism entails.

 

 

Yeah, if only it was as easy as this...

 

Bollocks.

 

The usual understanding of anarchism as a left wing ideology does not take into account the neo-liberal "anarchism" championed by the likes of Ayn Rand...

 

Seriously, what is this? Ayn Rand did not advocate anarchism. What a total pile of crap.

Apparently.

[Tales]

 

This is why I don't vote^^'

I thought I would come out a little lower left, but hey who said middle of the road is bad!!?!?!? If anything I have a fair, balenced view. :P

Ahhh, I remember doing things like this in politics.

 

Anyway, I don't really need a compass quiz to know where I am. I'm slightly libertarian when it comes to social issues and probably middle ground with economic issues (going left with my age though).

[Nicktendo]

Can't be bothered re-doing this but I'm very similar to the OP.

[Eenuh]

No surprise here I think, heh. So I guess my usual vote for the Social or Green party fits with my views. ^____^

 

[Raining_again]

 

I have no idea what this means.

[ReZourceman]

My result wasn't too suprising.

 

[Cube]

 

I have no idea what the graph means.

[Raining_again]

left: those who support varying degrees of social or political or economic change designed to promote the public welfare

right: those who support political or social or economic conservatism; those who believe that things are better left unchanged

Authoritarianism describes a form of government characterized by an emphasis on the authority of the state in a republic or union.

libertarianism - an ideological belief in freedom of thought and speech

[Cube]

So basically, the graph shows that I don't give a ****?

Long story short, yes!

Awesome, I'm Hitler.

I'm quite surprised, I always thought I was more of a centrist! I'm in the same league as Nelson Mandela it would seem!

[Pyxis]

A lot of the questions were ridiculous and out of the blue, was the creator of this a homosexual? I didn't really understand what the questions were getting at.
