Well, I cannot say I'm too surprised by the results.
Sticking with my new status: even if it is of European making, it is still America's fault, somehow.Quote:

If there was(is) anything having to do with Larry Craig that is worth talking about anymore, we would be (or soon will). Not a bad tangent, imho
Economic Left/Right: -4.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.97
This is by all means the perfect political stance ~D

Hmm, Interesting. I think this is a good time to split this thread however.
Cool chart. I'm still wondering how Don managed to rate as a bigger capitalist pig than I, though. :sweatdrop:Quote:

I didn't like the questions that much.
CR
-4.75 , -6.92
-2.00
-3.69
for me ~:)
The US was founded on classically liberal ideas. The famous paragraph from the American DoI is as good a summary of classical liberalism as there is. If one goes back a bit further, one can trace the break between liberalism and the state back to the corresponding break between protestantism and the established church. IMHO that's why Britain is a bit different from mainland Europe in our political thinking, and the US more different still.Quote:

I've updated it with Crazed Rabbit, Tribesman, econ21 and Ser Clegane. I've also added an average - it's just the mean of all scores. Ice wins at the moment.

Your name truly suits you :yes:
Well done with the graphing.
Economic Left/Right: -1.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.46
Similar to Econ.
Economic Left/Right: -3.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.49
Hehe, over here, a party with the views of the Republicans would probably considered a threat to the welfare of our society. Like that British doctor said in Sicko: It would be a revolution if socialized healthcare was removed. Also, no political party with the word "Front" in their name can be any good.Quote:

To be honest though, this doesn't really reflect my political views as I'm a fascist in some aspects, anarchist in some and just plain ignorant and indifferent in others. A political test can never be perfect. I prefer to define my political stance from my philosophic view: to heck with it all.
Economic Left/Right: 2.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.03
Hmm. It's probably more to the right than I'd naturally place myself, but I disagreed with the way a large number of the statements were phrased. Oh well.
Productivity, nice initiative! It'd be interesting to see how it all turns out.
Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -4.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.31
Mind you, I don't really no what I'm talking about in economics, a bunch of the questions were confusing. I honestly have no idea what effect multinational monopolies have.
Interesting thing about that graph, we only have 4 authoritarians and they're barely above the line.
I think I only didn't understand one of the questions (I think bottom of page 3 or 4)
Also, some questions really depended on how you understood/read them.
For example I would think more carefully about a question that includes the words "always" "X should be Y" "everytime".
I guess the result depends a lot on how critically you think about a given question and consider out of the box cases that might possibly not be completely agreeable.

It might be fun to colour code the entries by region - casual inspection suggests Euros and Yanks have rather different centres of gravity! (which I believe was the starting point for this thread ...)
Well... At least it was the final off-topic nail getting the original thread completely off course :laugh4:Quote:

Fairly moderate to, with a liberal lean on social issues.
Well, to be honest, I think I should be a little to the right on the economics, seeing as I want free markets, just not everywhere... Some things are best done by the state IMO. In other areas, the private sector handles things just fine, though I'd like the state to be a competitor too.Quote:
