Try this out, Political Compass

I don't want this to turn into a debate thread, but it might be interesting to see where people stand!

We may have more insight into people's motivations for saying some of the things they say!

Political Compass

Take a look at your Dot and look at the world leaders and tell us who you're closest to...

I was closest to the Dalai Lama!

I've taken this one before, but just for the hell of it I did it again and got pretty much the same result: Libertarian right (economic 2.50, social -1.69). So pretty much dead center as usual.

We've got some crazy freakin' liberals on this board! Now maybe you guys have a faint understanding of why I laugh at the "conservative" label. I'll bet Jayx1 is +10/-10 though.

Not very extreme is it?

Im where i thought id be. Im libertarian but not anarchist. Im right wing when it comes to economics but not quite lassaiz faire.

No one in politics today is in my political spectrum which makes it obvious why i have such a hard time with most candidates out there.

I got a laugh at where Paul Martin sits on that table

The leader of the LIBERAL party is Right-Wing/Authoritarian

Who'da thunk it?

Q) You've got liberals on the right. Don't you know they're left ?

A) This response is exclusively American. Elsewhere neo-liberalism is understood in standard political science terminology - deriving from mid 19th Century Manchester Liberalism, which campaigned for free trade on behalf of the capitalist classes of manufacturers and industrialists. In other words, laissez-faire or economic libertarianism.

In the United States, 'liberals' are understood to believe in leftish economic programmes such as welfare and publicly funded medical care, while also holding liberal social views on matters such as law and order, peace, sexuality, women's rights etc. The two don't necessarily go together.

Our Compass rightly separates them. Otherwise, how would you label someone like the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan who, on the one hand, pleased the left by supporting strong economic safety nets for the underprivileged, but angered social liberals with his support for the Vietnam War, the Cold War and other key conservative causes ?

That's closer to the score I got about 6 months ago - I've moved a bit to the right since then.
