This thread was created with the purpose of identifying the political alignment of individual members, and to establish a quick reference of a political profile for consultation by other members. I'm going for a sticky so that this will always be available for viewing. However, there are some rules to this.Please read them before posting. They are necessary for the thread to work properly. If you see a problem with the thread, please notify me by PM, not by posting here.

Will be acceptable in the thread. If you have no opinion on an issue, please say "undecided". You may put the political compass graph in your post. Copying and pasting the above is the best way to go.
2) The thread will include no debate or comments other than a post and profile for each member. I have contacted the Backroom moderators, namely Banquo's Ghost, to help me out with this, to which he has graciously agreed.
3) You may go back to edit your profile if your opinion on something changes. Just go ahead and do it, there's no need to post that you did it. If you want to change your political compass results, however, you will need to take the test again.
4) Please keep your profile as accurate as possible.
5) For the political compass results, only this Political Compass will be used. This is to standardize responses. You do not have to fill out a Political Compass quiz, but it is very strongly encouraged.
NOTE: This chart is from what I'd say is the American-style political compass. If you are from a European country, you may want to tinker with the graph a little bit to decide where you fit. I'm aware that the Political Compass test can be flawed. It is just here to give members a general idea.

A chart of where members fit on the Political Compass. You will, obviously, only go on this map if you have posted your Political Compass results.
