What does each political group want?

To be honest I'm not that bothered. The average wage earners always come off worse what ever political party is in power. They either get taxed to support the under paid or taxed to allow the overpaid to get away with it.

Most probably

Tbh Maizie, I think I am left leaning but I'd have thought I was more centered <shrugs> I did the quiz last night though and can't remember any of the questions this morning!

I did find the choices a bit too binary in some instances, just 'agree' or 'disagree'. I'd have liked a 'mostly (agree / disagree) option. Perhaps if that had been in, there would have been some more 'centrist' findings.

I'm Left/Libertarian too. Edging down from Caroline Lucus and on to the edge of the hair of the chap with the beard. I didn't think I was that left or that libertarian but it would place me nearer to LD than LP wouldn't it?

Yes, I think I was by someone's beard

Way over my head.

Way over my head. I will say it’s a good idea though.

This isn't going to end well, is it?

?

Conservaties - high profit business need encouragement cos they bring prosperity to all, each person is responsible for themselves & must provide for their own health/housing/retirement needs
Labour - you can have a socialist system in a capitalist society, thats how the NHS has worked we get the treatment we need regardless of whether we can pay or not, we are all responsible for each other therefore paying taxes that allow health/education/welfare benefits for all make this a good society to live in

I have no idea how scientific it is, or how they cross check the results, but it's a bit of fun.

Some of the questions were quite badly worded, and read like logic puzzles - 'if you don't think that people shouldn't stop doing things that they think are not bad for them, does that mean that you are not unreasonable?' I'm not convinced that all my answers reflected my actual beliefs?

I was left libertarian too, blob in the upper middle of the ? Not unhappy about that .

I was left libertarian which is a load of bollocks. I would say I was in the middle more right than left. Who organises these things ? They need to go back to school.

Perhaps you cheated with your answers ?

What is so horrifying about being left wing libertarian, though?

I suspect that most people see themselves as in the middle, though. It’s like most things - we judge others using ourselves as the mid- point. Rich people have more money than us, alcoholics drink more, and old age begins five years after our current age?.

It's only an online quiz nanna8. I shouldn't worry. With posts like that I don't think anyone will mistake you for anything other than right-wing/authoritarian.

I don't like party politics, as I've posted before

But this thread isn't about party politics, it's about what people see as the core principles of each party.

And now it's people doing a quiz to find where their political compass takes them.

It's actually interesting rather than combatitive

We do seem to be clustering somewhat. Someone very obviously not a leftie come and do it?

I think they're ignoring this thread...

What is interesting is that Polarbear2 thought they were a centrist. It an example of how vague labels don't always fit with what one actually believes, isn't it?

I'm rather to the left of Caroline Lucas. But then the artist possibly took the people they drew at their own estimation, or just guessed from their actions where they might stand. They can't have all completed the questionnaire, can they? ('cos some of them are dead )

We need more people to fill it in and come clean ?
