Political Compass

[eca00cdy]

This is a bit of fun. Has anyone else tried it before?

www.politicalcompass.org

I got pretty much in the middle..

-0.67 Economic

+0.90 Social

[mockney piers]

Hmm, I'm an anarchist version of Ghandi apparently

Economic -5.62

Social -4.26

[Moos]

God knows what I am

Economic Left/Right: -2.62

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.51

But I felt strongly guided by the questions towards a libertarian, left-leaning, atheist set of answers.

[Brendan]

Economic Left/Right: -8.12

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.00

Almost exactly the same as Nelson Mandela which is fitting I suppose.

[mockney piers]

Blimey, aren't we just a revolutionary triumvirate.

Bagsy Lenin!!

[Jah Lush]

Economic Left/Right -5.88

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian -5.23

Somewhere between Gandi and Fidel Castro

[Keef]

Economic Left/Right: -5.88

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.79

Gosh I'm liberal! :))

I would love to meet (and punch) someone who strongly agrees that disabled people shouldn't be able to reproduce! FFS!!!

[mockney piers]

bloody hell!! Those who accused the forumites of political bias might just have a point!!

[Keef]

Mrs Keef

Economic Left/Right: -9.50

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.82

No wonder I get away with so much :)-D

It is far too simplistic though, you'd need to ask loads more (and less leading) questions to get a real idea.

[mockney piers]

Blimey, respec' to mrs keef, where does that put her? Bakunin?

[Moos]

What Keef said.

"Don't you think the world would be a much fluffier place if everyone loved each other more, and there weren't so many naughty irresponsible environment-destroying mega corporations"?

"Do you think that people who are a bit different from you ought to be hanged?"

Of course I'm exaggerating to make a point.

I always thought I was a bit blue-tinged-with-red (like Marmora Man) - an elegant lavendar shade in fact. Turns out I'm more magenta...

[citizenED]

Meeting you lot in that liberal/left quarter I'm down at

Economic Left/Right: -8.25

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.05

Not made up about the minus orientation of said quarter. Consider my answers to be full of human spirit and positivity and i'm lolling around in negative space. Humph!

[Marmora Man]

Whey hey - Economic: 4.5 & Social: - 3.03

Socially liberal but still a libertarian right wing bastard

[SteveT]

Economic: -2.38 & Social: -2.72

Soooo, still a git then

[david_carnell]

I always thought it was an interesting paradox that you can be in favour of state intervention when it comes to matters of the economy but get the hell out my life on social matters!

It's where I find myself comfortably but the conflict bothers me. If you trust the government to run your economy, i.e. state owned industries, healthy welfare state, NHS etc etc why do we not trust them to govern our lives? I wouldn't let a government tell me what to eat or drink but would trust them to run a multi-billion dollar healthcare system. :-S

[SteveT]

I am dead against giving governments money all they do is get into more debt with it.

I am dead against multinationals not paying there whack, unlike the rest of us who have to.

[annaj]

Economic -7.25

Social -6.67

Not exactly bucking the trend.

[wee quinnie]

What Annaj said!

Economic: -8.5

Social: -6.7

[KalamityKel]

Economic Left/Right: -3.00

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.18

Not that I understand wot any of it means mind :-S

[bignumber5]

Economic Left/Right: -4.38

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.18

Just about wooley and liberal enough for annaj ;-)

[SeanMacGabhann]

In a shock-to-noone...

Economic Left/Right: -7.62

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.85

Although a relative newcomer to the forum I am also coming out close to Ghandi.

I notice the survey asked if you think same-sex couples in stable, loving relationships should be allowed to ADOPT. Hold the front page - plenty of them are actually getting married and (with a little help) having their own children.

[SteveT]

Same sex couples having it off in a stable, I'm 'agin' it I tells ya.;-)

[Guest]

Oh dear...

[SteveT]

These unnatural acts might upset the poor livestock, clasps hand to furrowed brow, wails "won't anyone think of the poor livestock.
