The Political Spectrum.. (2 Viewers)

[Gregor Samsa]

Where do you stand?

While online tests aren't definitive, I found a decent site to measure this;
Political Compass

Do the results correlate with your actual beliefs?

The test labelled myself as mid 'Libertarian Left', which is my political position and/or beliefs.. Such beliefs as wishing the elimination of bigotry where possible, internationalism, reducing xenophobia and fear, less gross inequality (Seeing true equality is virtually an impossibility, at least in the economic sense.)
..Just call me Leopold Bloom.

But yes, where do you stand?

 

[Xayma]

Well apparently Im 3.12 towards the right and 1.69 towards the liberal, Im basically in the same position as the Liberal Democrats, pretty much where I thought I would be.

i agree

 

[Ziff]

I didn't want to be a Left Libertarian (hippy ) but I guess I am...

Socially - "yeah do whatever guys"

Economically - "CONTROL CONTROL!"

Strange isn't it?

 

[Xayma]

Why is everybody here commies, come on we need more right winged people?

 

[saladsurgery]

pfft. they're all busy running the country (and the world, more or less) at the moment

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -6.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.79

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -6.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.87

 

[Rorix]

You are all such leftists

Economic Left/Right: 1.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.26

I'm probably a bit more right and authoritarian than that but my views on civil liberties brought me more towards the center.

Economic Left/Right: -1.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.46
It was a bit corny. It was so obviouse where they got their ideas.
'Abstract art that doesn't represent anything shouldn't be considered art at all.' Gregor would know that that totally refers to Hiter. I dont really agree that everything that Hitler or Stalin ever thought or believed was left or right personified....but was fun anyway

 

[dezzy]

Economic Left/Right: -4.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.72

can someone please explain this to me?
i dont understand...

am i like nelson mandella?!?

 

[Xayma]

I thought you would have been further right Melbournian Im only a little behind. Oh well I knew I was a liberal.

 

[Rorix]

Some of the wording is a bit dodgy - the first time I did it (a while back now) I took the statement at face value (relating to the use of some or all) whereas the second time i responded to the idea behind the statement.

 

[Ocker]

Not the best test, as I don't really think my political beliefs can be classed left/right, as they differ, and I do not hold one ideal.

Economic Left/Right: -4.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.95

Ah, but they can, as is evident from your -4.75.


The scores of you leftists are sooooo far left. Melbourian is the highest scoring conservative (from my brief glances through the thread) and almost all of you leftists out do him. extremists!

 

[mic]

why do you need to put extremists in small grey font?
