Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -2.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.10

Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Centre left (non union) centre right (non-religous)
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): No, i think for myself
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: No, i think for myself

Religion: is for the feeble-minded :Atheist - i think for myself.

Abortion:Legal for the 1st trimester; really up to the woman.

War in Iraq: ill conceived and very badly executed; but if something can be done to give Iraq a long term chance of being stable and peaceful it should be explored; otherwise a staged and planned reduction of force.
Marijuana: Not really that important an issue; i guess do a study and implement findings regardless of the outcomes.
Firearms: Restricted and controlled, with licenses and training being compulsory for anyone having a firearm/weapon.
Gay Marriage: allow Gays to get married but not force churches or religions to carry out any ceremony's.
Gay adoption: sure; same rules or requirements as anyone else.
Religion in schools: Teach the good and the bad of the major religions to create an understanding; teaching should be done by teachers, not religious people of any sort.
Death penalty: No.

Country of Residence: Sweden
Nationality: Swedish
Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right: -7.12, Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.23
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: I don't: I put the political spectrum on me.
Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping: Nope.
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: Nope.
Religion: ... is evil?

Abortion: Should be legal, but I don't like it one bit.
War in Iraq: Very much for.
War in Afghanistan: Very much for. It's the same as the one in Iraq.
Marijuana: Legalize it.
Firearms: Legal.
Gay marriage: For.
Gay adoption: For.
Religion in school: Teaching about religion in school is fine, so long as it is optional, done absolutely no earlier than teenage years and not taught as if it was true. No school-led prayers or anything of that sort, though.
Death penalty: Gone from against to undecided. A lot of criminals certainly deserve to die.
European Union: Not a fan.

Country of Residence: Britain
Nationality: English
Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right: -6.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.33 (Although I dont actually agree with this at all! I would rate myself Economic -1 and soc lib/authoritarian 8)

Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Politically conservative.

Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): No I dont think so.

Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: No, the current choices in the UK are all as corrupt and self serving as the others.

Religion: Extremely atheist. If you believe in god- you may as well believe superman is real.

Abortion: Not an expert but legal until it becomes 'icky' to terminate (ie-legal till a certain time). Also- it takes 2 people to make a baby and the father is expected to care for it. The father should have some say in decision to abort or not.

War in Iraq: Should not have got involved but should now stay and help put things right.

Marijuana: Legalise. Other 'harmful' substances are legitamised why not this one. Legalisation = regulation and tax income. Take it out of the hands of the 'criminal element'


Firearms: Given that most of the planet has adopted a no guns policy in general, I fail to see even vaguely compelling reasons why the Americans adhere to their archaic 'rights to bear arms'

Gay Marriage: If you want, go for it.

Gay adoption: Straight losers and jerks can be parents, I dont see why the same should not apply to gays.

Religion in schools: Religious history optional to those who want it but discouraged. Active religious practice strictly forbidden. School is for sums, the alphabet & history not sitting on a bench or a mat praying for divine intervention- do that on your own time.

Death penalty: Complex topic. I drift between wanting seriously evil people dead or making them do hard labour until they drop.

Proving guilt definatively is the major problem at present but I do believe that their is no rehabilitating some people and that seriously evil people should die- if to only give the victim's relatives some sort of closure.

Country of Residence: Woodstock Nation, currently under military occupation by the United States of America (:jester:)
Nationality: American.
Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right: -6.50; Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.51
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: N/A
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Anarchist, somewhat (see below)
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: the Freak Power Party.
Religion: Gnostic, but not affiliated with any church; my religion is the strongest ethical and moral compass in my life, and thus my political views may seem erratic to some, as they are guided by religion and not a political line of thought.

Abortion: I believe that, up until the point where a fetus is recognizably human, and unless I am mistaken, such a point exists, abortion should be legal. Until that point, an unborn baby is still part of a woman's body, and it should be her right to decide what to do with it. Besides, if yo wait more than six months before you decide to get an abortion, there's something wrong with you.
War in Iraq: Against it morally; however, I have accepted that we have to stay in Iraq until the nation is stabilized. That doesn't mean that anything that happens afterwards will ever make it right, and I will never forgive the government of this nation for what it has done to unforgivably betray my trust and the trust of the American people.
Marijuana: Legalize it, tax it, standardize it, and don't sell it to anyone under 21. And yeah... I would love to own a 19th century style cannabist shop, complete with a wooden Indian (not an American Indian, the South Asian variety.)
Firearms: I'm for them, but only with proper training and management. If you want a gun license, you have to pass a test. Additionally, you should only be allowed to use them as a last resort; i.e. don't go outside looking for trouble, but if someone breaks into your house and is clearly threatening your life and/or your family, you should be able to blow that sucka away.
Gay Marriage: I'm for it; but I have doubts about marriage to begin with. If you love someone, and you want to be in a relationship with them, there's no need for marriage, because a good relationship is no different from marriage, aside from an overblown and absurdly expensive ceremony; and if you don't have the dedication to make that relationship work, it should be your problem, not God's.
Gay adoption: No reason there should be any problem with this. I'm for it.
Religion in schools: Against it; schools are designed to educate based on the sciences (in a broader sense, i.e. literature, mathematics, history, and the "traditional" sciences, i.e. chemsitry, physics, etc.) Religion is a matter of personal choice, and every person should have to decide fro themselves what to believe in, if anything (although I must say that atheism is just too bleak for me, and Agnostics are far too wishy-washy.)
Death penalty: Uncertain, but somewhat against; while I am bothered by the thought of a judge/jury having the ability to condemn a human to death, I can also see how some people just deserve to die. Like someone who drowns babies or cats or crap like that. Perhaps in lieu of the death penalty, they could be sentenced to lifelong manual labor that's designed to work them to death instead.

My profile:

Economic Left/Right: -5.50

However, I think the results are a little skewedish. More questions on more issues are required.

Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Monarchist, with semi representative parliament
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Monarchist, strong civil liberties, social security and personal independence guarantees.
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: No
Religion: Christian -ish

Abortion: Legal, however parenthood should be regulated. It's funny how the governments are keen on regulating our speed limits but don´t care about parent's ability to raise the citizens of tomorrow.
War in Iraq: Watching from the sidelines and throwing toilet paper at the referee.
Marijuana: Legalise
Firearms: Tightly restricted. More efficient police force.
Gay Marriage: I do think they have rights just as anyone else, so should enjoy the same advantages. If the government wants to restrict their liberties, it should stop taxing them.
Gay adoption: No opinion.
Religion in schools: No preaching, just teaching. Also either teach all or none.
Death penalty: No death penalty per se. Yes to forced labour.

Marijuana: I am for the use for medical reasons.

Political Compass Result:
Economic Left/Right: -6.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.59
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Moderate
Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): no
Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: No
Religion: Raised a Hindu, currently Atheist

Abortion: Legal for all reasons in 1st trimester. Legal at all times for health of the mother, rape, etc. But my opinion should not count as Women alone should have a say in this.
War in Iraq: Was completely opposed to it before it started, now i believe the US has a moral responsibility to stay there till country is stable... only a gradual withdrawal should be pursued.
Marijuana: legalize it...
Firearms: Hunting and target shooting weapons can be legal
Gay Marriage: Gay peo ple should have the same rights as straight people concerning civil marriage
Gay adoption: Should have the same conditions that are applicable for straight couples.
Religion in schools: No....maybe as part of history.
Death penalty: Undecided... Sometimes i feel certain crimes should be punished by death and dont think too much money should be wasted on criminals...but am a little uncomfortable in the thought that this decision rests with judiciary... maybe we should find a better way to punish criminals and make them less of a drain on the society

Country of Residence: USA

Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right: 2.38 - Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.31
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Moderate/Right
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Goldwater/Theodore Roosevelt style Republican with Libertarian leanings
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: Conservative & Libertarian Parties
Religion: Raised Greek Orthodox but now confirmed Atheist

Abortion: Pro-choice. Woman's right to choose but mainly pro-choice because court cases favoring abortion will pave the way for eugenics oriented treatments & procedures for use by individuals, not the State.
War in Iraq: Was a fence sitter. Didn't really buy into the WMD argument but appreciated the geo-political strategy behind the decision. Given the generation running the country I had little confidence in the execution. However the 'Surge' has proven its worth, we should remain in Iraq until its government can police & protect itself effectively.
Marijuana: Legalize for medicinal use.
Firearms: Yes. Firm supporter of Second Amendment.
Gay Marriage: No
Gay adoption: No
Religion in schools: Religion dictating curriculum in public schools? No. Public schools observing Judeo-Christian religious holidays? Yes.
Death penalty: Yes. The punishment should fit the crime.

Country of Residence: Australia
Nationality: Australian
Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right: -2.62 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.13
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Oooh ooh! I finally understand a bit. Where the Compass put me is in the right direction, probably a bit too far right and not enough up though. Maybe (-3.3, 4)?
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping: I dont think so.
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: More with the Labor Paty than the Liberal, but not closely with either
Religion: Agnostic

Abortion: Legal until the time where you can feel it kicking.
War in Iraq: Idiotic, get out now.
Marijuana: BAN BAN BAN, no one should ever have, for any reason.
Firearms: Laws in my state, I agree with. Its closely monitered, many forms and things to pass to be able to get a handgun
Gay Marriage: No
Gay adoption: Case by case, as all adoptions. So I guess yes.
Religion in schools: I am at a Lutheran Christian School, but not in all schools.
Death penalty: Yes. For anything that gets Life Imprisonment or worse.

Country of Residence: Norway
Nationality: Norwegian
Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right:-3,12 - Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0,92
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Moderate/Right (in Norway)
Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Not really.
Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: voted Right (Høyre) last.
Religion: Agnostic

Abortion: It is up to the mother, but within restrictions of first trimester. I would want the mother to consider to carry the child to birth nonetheless and if she can't keep it, give it up for adoption.
War in Iraq: USA was justified in resuming the war after Iraq broke the truce just 14 days after it was signed. If it was wise is another issue.
Marijuana: Should be illegal period.
Firearms: legal for those trained to handle them. e.g. soldiers and veterans.
Gay Marriage: I am not so sure about this one. I am leaning towards yes, but only civil marriage. Religion should have the right to not wed homosexual couples if its doctrine is against homosexuality
Gay adoption: We need a more tolerant society for this to work. If kids can respect a child with gay parents, I guess it is OK.
Religion in schools: Why not? there are billions of religious people.
Death penalty: I am leaning toward yes in extreme cases.

Country of Residence: UK
Nationality: British
Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right: -5.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.28
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Wishy-washy liberal
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Liberal
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: No
Religion: Reluctant atheist

Abortion: The current limit of 24 weeks is about right. Beyond that only in cases where the mother's life is at risk.
War in Iraq: An utter disgrace and a stain upon my country's conscience. Bush and Blair should stand trial for waging aggressive war. Now we are there it is our duty to stay the course but it is a question of limiting the scale of the disaster, not gaining victory. It saddens me deeply that so many people couldn't see the WMD argument was obvious BS from the start and I largely suspect the only reason for the invasion was an attempt to propagate perpetual war for political ends.
War in Afghanistan: I support the commitment of my country's forces in Afghanistan, although not without reservations (not least the mounting civilian death toll). One of the saddest aspects of the misguided Iraq invasion is that it has put our victory in Afghanistan in doubt.
Marijuana: Legal, but only in licensed premises.
Firearms: Undecided. Can see the argument on both sides. If they were legal here I wouldn't buy one.
Gay Marriage: Absolutely no reason not to allow it. Churches should only be allowed to refuse if they receive no public funding or tax breaks.
Gay adoption: Can't see any problem with this.
Religion in schools: In RE classes only, where all religions are taught about from a balanced, secular viewpoint. No prayer in schools, and definitely no religion anywhere near the science classroom.
Death penalty: No in all cases. Life without parole achieves the same thing without the hypocrisy.
European Union: By and large in favour of a unified political entity rather than a simple trading bloc but not convinced it's being done very well. I certainly don't think the solution is to abolish it, I fear if that step is taken the idea of a unified Europe will be gone forever. TBH I find it hard to care much about the issue, but it's certainly nice to be able to drive from Bristol to Vienna without needing about 50 different currencies.

I don't lean politically, physically or otherwise.

Country of Residence: USA
Nationality: American but of Irish descent

Political Compass Result:
Economic Left/Right: -9.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.31

Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: I find Socialist and Communist to be labels that are too limiting. The closest thing I identify with is that of a Left-Wing Utopian.

Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Socialist would be the closest. But I joke that I am to the left of the Left.

Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: No party adequately represents my values. With the lack of political options in this country, I vote for who I believe will do the most to bring about the change I think we need. Which tends to be Democrats but I am very dissapointed in that party.

Religion: Soft-Atheist. Which means I do not believe there is a God as opposed to knowing there is no God. I am open to the idea that there may be a God but I seriously doubt it. Basically, because I can not prove his absence, I can not say with certainty that he does not exist.

Abortion: Legal in all situations.
War in Iraq: Leave now.
War in Afghanistan: Leave now.
Marijuana: Legalize it.
Firearms: Disarm not only society, but the police and military as well. Projectile throwing weapons have brought nothing but harm to civilization.
Gay Marriage: Allow it.
Gay adoption: Allow it.
Religion in schools: Don't allow it. Should be taught only as a philosphy.
Death penalty: Abolish it.
European Union: Regionalism is bad. The whole world should be united under one uber-government.

Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Libertarian

Religion: Mormon

Abortion: Immoral except for rape/health reasons, but should probably still be legal 1st and perhaps 2nd trimester
War in Iraq: a costly mistake that distracted attention from terrorists and Afghanistan
Marijuana: should be decriminalized and regulated
Firearms: some regulation is okay (i.e. preventions for felons or the mentally ill), but should be limited-safety training should be a greater focus
Gay Marriage: should be legal
Gay adoption: should be legal, but perhaps with some input from the biological parents
Religion in schools: should be private and personal, neither public nor prohibited
Death penalty: undecided

Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: I'm a capitalist who fears rampant Social Darwinism, politically I identify with the right, but I'm still centrist. Barack Obama, look out! Idealistic foreign policy, but I understand realpolitik is required.

Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Conservative (American)

Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: Republican Party

Religion: EpiscoPresbyAgnosticism

Abortion: Should be avoided as much as possible (education etc), as the more I know the more I consider it a terrible and fatal decision against a human being, an unborn individual.
War in Iraq: Was for invasion, and hoping to stay in Iraq until stability is assured.
Marijuana: Should be allowed and regulated less than alcohol. I have personally witnessed what drink and drive can do.
Firearms: Allow those capable and willing to carry firearms to have them.
Gay Marriage: Against marriage, willing to allow "civil unions". Marriage is a sacred religious trust.
Gay adoption: Against, but not willing to argue about it.
Religion in schools: (assuming that you mean actual faith-based schools and not just extension courses) I guess it is better to offer them to take control out of the hand of extremists.
Death penalty: For death penalty, but the evidence needs to be concrete.

Sorry for getting in so late on this guys. I have been extremly busy with my job.

Abortion: Generally Evil
War in Iraq: The reasons may have been “misguided”, but it is a part of the world from whence terrorism and atrocities have come…
Marijuana: Legal or illegal status should be left up to referendum, but I’m generally against drug abuse of any kind (see drunk driving, roid rage, et cetera).
Firearms: For law-abiding citizens to take care of the law-breakers stupid enough to break into the law-abider’s house.
Gay Marriage: Whatever floats your boat (As long as private religious institutions aren’t mandated to accept them as ‘marriages’ also).
Gay adoption: The jury’s still out on that…
Religion in schools: Religion should be made available for those who wish it and not mandated upon those who don’t. No hostilities between the two groups, either – be civil, now, children…
Death penalty: For those 100% without a doubt guilty of murder and rape.

Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc):
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party:
Religion: The people God didn't choose. Atheist.

Abortion: For, but the parents should be regulated, preferably with psychological aid.
War in Iraq: Let them first clear the mess up, then they should get out.
War in Afghanistan: Against. The same as Iraq.
Marijuana: Legalized, but only in specially provided spaces and at private locations (homes, etc.)
Firearms: Against. Actually, I kinda agree with the system of the Swiss here. Every citizen has to enlist in military service for an amount of time and will take his weapon home with him or her afterwards.
Gay Marriage: Gays have the same rights as everyone else.
Gay adoption: Fine with me.
Religion in schools: Against. Children should be told about religion, from all sides, and of their history, but no indoctrination
Death penalty: Against. Too often, the death penalty is an easy way to escape. Also, I find that humans do not have the right to murder another human when he is in no state to fight back.
European Union: For. I've stated before; I sense that the European union is a good way to increase trade and welfare. And I feel more European than Dutch/Turkish/Algerian.

Firearms: Yes, effective self-defense is my right. Punish the criminal element, not the law abiding.
Gay Marriage: Yes, they deserve the same benefits/protections of marriage that heterosexual couples do.
Gay adoption: State voters should decide
Religion in schools: Private schools yes, public schools no
Death penalty: Certain crimes justify it. However, DNA evidence is a must. Alternative sentence: life without parole or human contact (living death).

Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Moderate Left
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Social-democrat.
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: /
Religion: Ietsisme (Not sure what that's called in English.

Abortion: Should be legal first three months or so.
War in Iraq: Shouldn't have been started. But just leaving Iraq isn't a solution to the problem the war itself created.
Afghanistan: US had the right to track down, and try to capture Osama. When the Taliban didn't want to give them Osama, well they asked for it. They should've known it would come to this. Removing the taliban would have been a positive thing. Too bad it seems that it's hard if not impossible to get these countries peacefull without resorting to genocuides or something. I guess you could call me neutral, but I think that currently the EU nations should help. Not for war's sake, but for peace and stability's sake.
Marijuana: Legalize it.
Firearms: Only in soldiers and policemen's (and similar men) hands.
Gay Marriage: Don't make religious institutions marry them, but allow a secular marriage. Marriage doesn't have to be religious, folks...
Gay adoption: If they meet the same requirements that heterosexuals meet, then yes.
Religion in schools: Free for private schools, Not at state schools
Death penalty: It's a shame it still exists in certain countries.
EU: Pro- a strong EU. However I'm against the addition of any more states, and even against the last states that have been added. You don't build a house, by just putting more and more bricks on eachother. It'll fall down if you don't build a good basis and use a good cement first. Why don't they just gave the last ten countries or so some economic benifits and perhaps some support money. That's what they wanted. And then wait and build up the EU better and stronger, while those countries grow, and then add them. No just getting as many members as possible without thinking about the consequenses. And now what do we have? Not a house you can live in but a freakin tower of babylon which is almost colapsing. Yet still there's more work done on adding members then making the basis better. Sigh.
