Default Political Compass

The Political Compass - Test


I am sure this is SIAL, but I thought it might be quite amusing to see where you all stand on the political compass - I bet we get some surprising results.


Perhaps unsurprisingly, my political compass comes out as this :

Economic Left/Right: -4.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.03


Which basically means I am more of a left wing looney than Ghandi , pretty much on a par with the Dalai Lama



Where are you? I want to see some of you right wingers get past Bush

There is no right/wrong good/bad.

But you do have to wonder just how much of an absolute git you have to be to even reach Blairs position, let alone Bush

Not necessarily - I just means you are part git, part great bloke - Or part great bloke, part PC looney, depending on your point of view


In other words, to someone like Ghandi, someone in the centre is right wing, to George Bush, someone in the centre is left wing.

I shall pop all these numbers into a gprh at some point and stick a picture of it in here so every can see where they are in relation to everyone else. At the moment though, MK2 Heaven and MattW are clearly the most right wing here - With the possible exception of Olly K, who, whilst being a bit of a neo-con is also a slight anarchist

I've figured out a way to accurately describe people

Top left quadrant - Lefties who don't care
Bottom left quadrant - Lefties who do care
Top right quadrant - right-wingers who don't care
Bottom right quadrant - right-wingers who care

Note how few politicians and leaders are in the bottom two quadrants.

Interesting! I came out as Economic -1.75 and authoritarian 1.49. Probably not too much of a trouble maker but I will speak out when I think it is necessary. Bring back the birch!
