This is quite good fun actually - thought it would produce some very interesting results amongst forumites too!
Mine is...
Economic Left/Right: -3.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.77
So I'm Left Libertarian which is roughly what I thought I was.
As pointed out further up the thread, this is a pretty common phenomenon (with traditional working-class Tory and Labour voters) and mirrors the growth of support for the Tea Party in the US.
Chomsky and Owen Jones could be talking about the same party/faction with branches in different...
...a left-right spectrum, and lots of other attempts to place political ideas and opinions onto a single 'map' (whether it be the 'political compass' or whatever) also leave lots of stuff out of the picture.
What you see is influenced by the lens you are looking through.

i lived with Tim for a year, whilst he was still Delta's party lap dog. he's never made a personal political risk in his life, has not an iota of a moral compass. lives primarily off the rush he gets from anaethematizing his latest political opponents... see his long running dispute with Ed...

My issue isn't with the Guardian list being political in its choices. It is with it presenting its list as if it were apolitical when it very clearly isn't, and the politics that it does reveal through that action.
I shouldn't be surprised, but you have that Spencer bloke and not a single...
Surely depends on skin tones, the whiter the person you're speaking to the more oppressed you are, the darker the more priviledged you are, there is a special coin you can send away to twitter for, in the case that you are speaking to middle-eastern people, this coin when flipped will determine...
