I'm not saying how many I scored, but they certainly seem to have similar views on many subjects!

rosesarered Mon 16-Jan-17 21:10:59

Oh well, I got 6 right! Amazing how hard it was to tell them apart though.grin

Anniebach Mon 16-Jan-17 21:35:41

Going for votes, saying what they think the voter wants to hear

rosesarered Mon 16-Jan-17 22:20:30

What did you score ab?

Bellanonna Mon 16-Jan-17 22:48:53

7, with guesswork

POGS Mon 16-Jan-17 22:52:20

With all due respects to the OP I don't need a quiz to know there are similarities in their views and what they have said and have raised the matter on a few threads.

Not that it has gone down a storm . grin

Anniebach Mon 16-Jan-17 22:53:20

I scored 3 grin

merlotgran Mon 16-Jan-17 23:04:47

I got 6 and every single one was a guess grin

annodomini Mon 16-Jan-17 23:22:03

I got 7, to my surprise.

Mair Mon 16-Jan-17 23:42:16

4 and all guesses.

No surprise they are not so far apart, both anti establishment mavericks.

I know POGS they ignore anything they don't like, ostrich like.grin
Yes, mine were guesses too.

I got nine right – I just guessed (wrongly) about the hugely unimportant hairline. The nature of the quotes does not show any similarity of outlook – quite the reverse. They may both be "anti-establishment mavericks" as Mair suggests, but in such very different ways that anyone with any real political background and knowledge, rather than blind bias, couldn't possibly confuse them in my opinion. Btw I don't live in the UK or USA.

Astonished to get 7

They are different but while Corbyns economic policies are very much stereotypical left we really o not know where Trump stands on the left-right economic spectrum.

Lefties hate him because he is anti immigration, anti Muslim, somewhat nationalist, and I suspect they desperately want him to be economically on the right because of their 'blind bias' against him. The truth is we just do not know. He remains , for now, an unknown.

I got 7 as well - but TBH some of the comments could have been made by anyone and do not indicate a particular political bias (e.g. it's hard to have a house and garden in an urban area).

shysal Tue 17-Jan-17 14:31:32

8, but all guesses. I could do it again and get a very different score.

Iam64 Tue 17-Jan-17 17:05:28

6 with some guesses. These anti establishment folks, they all look alike to me (this is a joke, ironic comment folks)

M0nica Tue 17-Jan-17 17:21:13

I am a bit gob-smacked, I got 10, it must have been rigged! It was all guesswork.

I believe there was a deliberate Russian plot to entice me to complete this quiz and give me full marks, whatever my replies, in order to prepare a false Kompromat file on me, to be used at a later date should I express any political views.grin
