    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."

    To elaborate:

    1. System: Socialism
    I believe in no ideal system
    2. Ideology: Social Democratism
    Same goes for ideologies. As for a political system, I'm an open liberal/constitutional monarchist.
    3. Party: No match.

    4. Presidents: Jimmy Carter

    5. 04' Election: David Cobb
    David who?
    6. 08' Election: Dennis Kucinich

    Bollox. I am indignant over being called a Republican. I wish not to be tainted with that party of ignorance, intolerance, religious zealotry, and like evils. This test has a clear American slant, not surprising either, but it does make it restrictive. I for instance, am a strong atheist, and no Republican can admit that and still advance his career.

    Not to mention, 12% are more authoritarian? Doubleplusbad bollox. This is a better test, more complex and longer too:

    This one is the only that managed to gauge me absolutely, impeccably correctly. I am a strong authoritarian, a fiscal conservative, but a social liberal.


    Generally, the longer the quiz, the better. Especially if the questions are divided into three categories: how much power you think should be given to the government, what is your social stance, and what is your fiscal/purely political stance.

    The big difference between political compass and this one, is that political compass actually puts me on the opposite of the Authoritarian scale (on the correct side).

    Well, to be fair, not being Protestant, or at the very leat some denomination of Christianity, is pretty much a death sentence for *any* politician in this country.

    That was the same test EMFM has in his Political Leanings thread. I thought everyone would recognise it... But anyway, here: http://www.politicalcompass.org/

    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
