Read it.

Take the survey.

Post the results.

Discuss.


Economic Left/Right: -2.45
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -3.77

Note this is according to the British system.. for we Americans, they're collectively a little to our left.

I find it interesting how Thatcher rates up there with Stalin and Hitler..

That was fun.

Economic Left/Right: -3.06
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -4.24

So I am a communist libertarian, such as the likes of Gandhi. Hmm. Very interesting. That was entirely by answering those questions on gut instinct.

WOO HOO!!! I'm a 16 year old Libertarian leftist! In all honesty. I found some of the questions to be a bit vague, so the political compass might be a bit off with me. They should have had a little check saying: I would both agree and disagree depending on circumstance.

Economic Left/Right: -3.06
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -4.19

According to this, I'm close to being in the same camp as gandhi.

Daniel! It looks like we're partners in polotics!

I found some of the answers required a "Maybe" selection, not just agree/disagree...

Well, it would appear that I'm a Libertarian Leftist. My Auth/Lib score is a -1.84, and my Left/Right score is a -4.82.

I'm in the same boat at Gandhi, Benn, Livingstone, and Hughes. Of course, the only name I recognize out of there is Gandhi.

Hmm, that survey definitely needs an 'in the middle' button. And for some of the questions where it had 'A && B', I would have agreed with 'A' and disagreed with 'B'!
