[KFunk]

I seem to have shifted further left on traditional values, but the rest remains much the same:

Political Outlook: Left (-59.1%)

Economic Policy: Left (-67.4%)

Social Policy: Centre-Left (-26.7%)

Traditional values: Far left (-96.2%)

 

[squeenie]

I've never known where I really stand. Most people tell me I'm moderate left, but:

Overall, the PoliticsForum quiz considers you an individually-orientated, materialist, small-government, free-trade, non-absolutist, kind of person.

These characteristics would put you in the overall category of libertarian.

I'm a lost little soul...

Eh, well if anything, I'm centre.

 

[nick1689]

I would still say my mind isnt set about where I am on the spectrum, but moderate left sounds about right. Social democracy, from what Ive read (which, granted, isnt very much) sounds like its the right way to go, especially with the current financial crisis.

I definately place fair trade above free trade, and think that markets should be regulated. Free market ideology fails on so many practical levels

 

[badquinton304]

Centre. Third Way.

 

[withoutaface]

Having said that I am still skeptical of supporting the liberal party and do not plan to do so any time soon.

Why's that?

 

[Silver Persian]

Centre Left Economically and Far Left Socially

 

[carrots please!]

Your broad political orientation score is 4.1%, which equates to a ‘Centre’ position
Your economic policy score score is 36.8%. This equates to a ‘Centre Right’ position
Your social policy score is -16.1%. This equates to a ‘Centre Left’ position
Your traditional values score is -26.3%. This equates to a ‘Centre Left’ position

interesting. overall i'd consider myself more centre right than left. will vote liberal.

 

[Generator]

A little to the right...

 

[Iron]

Pls come back Generator. I'm getting too much pressure to be the wise old responsible member, and this is not my charm. I need a rock like you to anchor to and thrash around

 

[Silver Persian]

Greens 81.1%
Democrats 89.5%
Labor 72.7%
Family First 45.5%
Liberal 41.8%
National 33.2%
One Nation 23.4%

Come back Natasha

 

[JB10]

I would categorise myself as 'right'.

 

[Iron]

cool man, whatever

 

[incentivation]

Economic Left/Right: 0.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.31

It's unusual. I would consider myself to be more centre right.

Economic Left/Right: 8.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.82

 

[katie tully]

Economic Left/Right: 1.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.56

wat

 

[katie tully]

For reasons of personal safety I'll stick with being centre right. I find staunch lefties are whiney, and fanatical righties are scary.
:uhhuh: :uhhuh: :uhhuh:

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -4.63

Just call me Gandhi, I guess.

Softer in my old age?

This site provides the code for making a pretty good interactive one. Should be a piece of cake for anyone with basic web design skill (not me I'm afraid).

If anyone can make it, just PM me and I'll edit the OP.

Good idea. I'm not a code monkey though.
