Are you right wing?

If you are unsure, please take the test located here (http://www.politicalcompass.org/)

[lukesh]

Fiend give it a break.

I am centre, I have done this many times. I will try it again right now yet again to shut you up.

[Fiend_85]

I invite you to take the test posted.

[Renzo]

Economic Left/Right: -8.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.79

I'm getting more left wing with age!

[Fiend_85]

Incidentally, if anyone else would care to post their political leanings, feel free.

I am (edited, 'cos I re-took the test)

Economic Left/Right: -2.88

[morrocan roll]

[lukesh]

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -0.25

Slightly to the left. But rather 'neutral' at the same time.

[ShyBoy]

Why didn't you PM him? To me, this is more like Fiend trying to make a political statement. You're not running against him in the polls are you? :p

I know you won't believe me anyway so we'lll leave it there.

[Blagsta]

I've read a fair bit of criticism of political compass for slanting it so that people appear more left wing than they are.

[Fiend_85]

really? Well at least we'll all be slanted by the same amount ;)

I'm rather like Ghandi.

[Fiend_85]

Which is? for those of use without a photographic memory.

[MrG]

im sorta in between nelson mandella and gandhi

[lukesh]

I am dead on in the centre and I am closest to Blair.

[morrocan roll]

i'm somewhere inbetween god and the devil.

Just as I thought really, on economic policy slightly right of centre but liberal on social issues. Basically a Libertarian, but not a cold hearted capitalist pig dog.

[budda]

I really dont think there was the need for that kind of abuse Felix.

Perhaps Fiend could have worded the thread just as 'Political Compas' and it would have been a little less like a PM. But it is interesting to compare peoples scores.

[Renzo]

Hey maybe someone who is good at that sort of thing could put everyone on the compass :)

You volunteering? ;)

[budda]

I knew you lot were all Commies, it seems Disillusioned and I are the only ones Right of centre in terms of economic policy.

Interesting.

[chaos_insomniac]

I'd say I'm left wing, but I'll take the test to make sure.

Interesting. Perfectly normal mate, this board is made mostly of young people; young people are by nature more rebellous and selfless than older folk

:p

I suppose so, but is a young person being Left really rebellous? Just following the crowd really.

When you get old and rich like me you tend to resent money going to others.

[Blagsta]

I don't think many people on here are particularly left wing.

[Renzo]

No cos I suck at computers :( If noone else does I *may* give it a try though.

Yup, left wing. Somewhere around where Nelson Mandela viewed things apparently :chin:

[Kermit]

It shows me up as medium-left, and that's wrong for starters.

The questions seem to lead to an inherent left-wing bias.

At least I came out as a libertarian, did anyone come out authoritarian? Jacq would probably come out right libertarian too..

It changes colour now?

I get the feeling I have been singularly unobservant :nervous:

[Fiend_85]

It always changed colour buddy. At least since I've been here.

Oooooooooooh I never noticed it changing colour before...

[Jim V]

Been changing colour for a good number of months, though it didn't at first.

I'm just slow, rather than totally stupid then :lol:

It's because you don't mod enough;)

That's true.

He's funny when you say how shit Bolton Wanderers are, and how Sam Allardyce is a cock, though.

[Jim V]

Oi!

[Fiend_85]

That is funny.

[ShyBoy]

Not to spark a debate, but aren't communists supposed to be more authoritarian? Less rights of the individual and more for the good of everything. And socialism is the left right divide. It all confuses me sometimes...

[stargalaxy]

Economic Left/Right: -2.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.13

Amazing! I've always considered myself to be very right wing. But that was very revealing.

[Blagsta]

As has been pointed out, it has a left wing bias.

[Fiend_85]

Which would make Lukesh (for example) right wing, myself near dead centre, some of you raving commies out there slightly less extreme, and Stargalaxy fractionally left of centre.

[Aladdin]

I never thought of myself as that much left wing to be honest.

[budda]

So if I came out as Right Wing does that make me a hardcore capitalist then?

That's ok, none of them like you either, facist pig-dog.

[budda]

No, no! I'm not facist, I'm just a Libertarian, which means I can look down on those less fortunate and feel smug because they deserve to be there.

[Fiend_85]

*chuckles* Well at least I'm centre, so you can shove it.

[budda]

A lot of the questions are US based anyway, the most telling of which was about giving to charity rather than the State doing it.

This does sort of work in the US because they have a much more established charity giving culture. But its open to rampant abuse.

[Fiend_85]

Yuh, though on the US, I've been watching the presidential debates. Very interesting, though I know who I'd vote for.

[budda]

I'd quite probably vote Kerry, but to be honest I'm not all that convinced he's very different. At least the PNAC will be out of office for a while if he gets in.

(lets not stray from the topic though)

[Fiend_85]

Fair enough, new topic on the way.
