Political alignment analysis

GH, your post implies that Lemur is some grand political leader

@ Kralizec: True. I suppose I was comparing Mussolini to the other totalitarian leaders of the era when I put him in that position. I do think he allowed more market freedom than most.

@ FH: Well, there weren't that many social libertarian/free-market leaders to choose from. How many executive officers do you know that don't control social life or the economy?

Just you watch, I will conquer the world with blood and iron. And then, um, I'll enshrine personal liberty, private property, and devolve all government to the local level, with only a loose federation on top. I guess it will be kind of an anti-climactic New World Order.

I'm quite thrilled to have an entire political/economic quadrant to myself, although I must point out the Prole, Kralizec and Productivity are in there with me. Any of you guys want to be Ministers?

I'll be the first to call for your lynching.

Any body wants to try this again, there is a similar quiz at a site Xiahou linked to in the Fred Thomson thread:

It is like the one used before, but the graph designer made up down (we'll shoot him later).

I got "libertarian-leaning left-liberal", which sounds interesting:
Personal Score 75%
Economic Score 41%

Closest US politician to my position is apparently John Kerry, which sounds about right.

The site is quite informative on the US presidential candidates - as well as the charts, it has quite detailed information on their positions on a variety of issues. I did not realise Hilary (left liberal) is positioned so far to the right of her husband (moderate populist). I mean I had heard her beliefs were more liberal, but thought she was running on a more centrist platform. Maybe the site reflects her past statements more than current stance?
