Just for interest, there's a mutiple choice test that attempts to plot your political leanings (as left & right aren't enough).

I've done it and came out with:

Which compared to:

Makes me like Ghandi, without the skinniness, or the pacifism obv. We've a similar hairstyle though...

Though when I look at it more like an Anarchistic version of Stalin,


Take the test: http://www.politicalcompass.org/index (http://www.politicalcompass.org/index)

did this a few years ago and was pretty similar to you Rod.  will give it another go and see how much more conservative I've become in my old age ;D

This was an interesting chart - the main political parties over the years....

Me and Ghandi ... who would have thought it :)

Economic Left/Right: -7.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.44

My god - you should be living in a squat ;)

I'm pretty much bang on 1972 labour party

The oddity being I'm a thatcher fan most likely to vote tory  ;dingdell;

Me too it would seem.

It has been suggested that Political Compass has got a bit of a leftwards bias

we do all seem to be lefty libertarians!

It's interesting that the only time a political parties' position is south of the Liberation/Authoritarian median is when they are not in government.

And yet none of us (i know, ridic small sample) are above the line.

I'm not too surprised - Authoritarian people are probably a bit less likely to be degenerate gamblers ;)

Found the linky from last time.

I think there should definately be an option for "don't know" on a lot of those questions.  :blonde:

Old thread includes this comment...


All Sheriff's fault obv
qfmft

wow - I really have got more conservative!

Yep I'm also a Gandhi

I've done this before, and I came out somewhat southwest of Milton Friedman, so about the only righty on here so far. Freeish market with do-what-the-hell-you-like libertinarianism. Pretty correct for me. Although I've voted libdem once in my life as they're mostly very pointless (IMHO).

I'd put mine up but dunno how

Economic Left/Right: -8.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.05

About as far right as you can get.

Geez, I don't think you and I will ever form a coalition govt together

that's true of almost any two blondes though.

Expect maybe PaddyPowerAshdown obv

July06:

Economic Left/Right: 2.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.05


Today:

Economic Left/Right: 2.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.90

Not sure what to make of this !

Economic Left/Right: -4.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.46

More to the left than I was expecting but definitely a fifth option required to make this more accurate as there were a lot of options where I had not preference or was a don't know.

lol at this bit

Socialists like Mahatma Gandhi and Robert Mugabe would occupy a less extreme leftist position. Margaret Thatcher would be well over to the right, but further right still would be someone like that ultimate free marketeer, General Pinochet

Mugabe a socialist?..guess he never quite grasped the basic Socialist idea then lol

I'm Economic Left/Right: -4.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.62


close enough to Ghandi to be considered a lefty, I guess.

Also close enough to Ghandi to realise that this whole political compass thing is a load of bollocks.

His redistributive land reforms were socialist, just not in the good way.

Just in case anyone thinks I really am a facist, this was just a joke, I am really as much of a bleeding heart liberal as the rest of you.

And Bully's Special Prize.......



Economic Left/Right: -0.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.15
