Political compass

Thank goodness for that janthea. We need some variety on here otherwise we will be in danger of never disagreeing on anything (fat chance)

I am firmly in the green, so far left I'm in danger of falling off the graph, which surprises me as I really did think I had become a lot more conservative (with a small c) as I grew older. It will surprise my son as well, he thinks I am positively right wing

I just did it again, trying to give the obviously right-wing answers, and still only managed to get into the blue square! I just couldn't bring myself to 'strongly' agree or disagree with some of the more controversial questions which is probably why I didn't make it into the red...

I am in the purple square up towards the blue square towards the middle - left of Friedman - Social Libertarian/Authoritarian and Economic Left/Right

I'm a left libertarian. In the green.

Green too, and left of Ghandi, now to get on with life!

Bummer, I was about to double check what I was and accidentally clicked the cross, so lost the page and have to go back to the beginning which I am not prepared to do.
I am green towards the top right.
Jingle I always look on these things as fun and as I do have the time to do them, I do them. Doesn't mean I necessarily believe what I am told I am!!!

I gave up because it was such a stupid, and biased in itself, quiz. So many of the questions could not be answered with either 'agree' or disagree' - there were 'ifs' and 'buts' involved.

Time wasting, over simplistic, rubbish.

Very near to the Dalai Llama

Hi there Galen - good to see you

Somewhere between Francoise Hollande and the Dalai Llama.

Actually only just into thr green, almost the top row and also about 4 in from centre on midline.

Is it only libertarians who are doing this questionnaire? Or are the authoritarians lying low? I think of myself as more than a bit given to laying down the law but I always come out in the equivalent of the middle of the green quadrant. Are there particular questions that trigger particular assessments? Does it mean anything? Is it just a bit of fun? Why do I always waste my time on these things?

Ghandi again. Perhaps all grans are green Ghandhis? We grow into it. Is anyone doing a study?

It was no surprise to find MiceElf in the bottom left hand corner, but fun to find HymnsElf very slightly further up and very slightly further right (albeit still nearly in the bottom left hand quadrant).

But what was really fascinating was looking at the positions of the UK political parties on the quadrant. In England the only party which has some approximation to where I am is the Green Party, and the catastrophic move to the authoritarian right by all the other parties is profoundly depressing.

Left libertarian also but I notice that in the International Chart there are no right libertarians. Is that an oxymoron?

Me too

I'm a left libertarian - what a surprise

A long way to the left of the Dalai Lama; slightly disturbed to see Ed Milliband on the authoritarian right!

Green. Hi, Galen

Green

Social libertarian..

In the green square.

Left-libertarian. No surprises.

LL

I was also shown as being slightly to the left of the Dalai Lama as well - I'm a bit surprised as I always thought I was a bit more right wing than that
