Political Compass gets 'New Labour' right when it puts it extremely close to Conservatism - check out their analysis of the UK General Election 2005 at http://www.politicalcompass.org/ Now because 'New Labour' is utterly right-wing, but still campaigns under the guise of 'Labour', the...

that's pretty much me. what a thoroughly unlamented ex-poster would have sneeringly called an angry liberal. for what it's worth, i believe that anarchist groups do more on a daily basis to add to the sum of human happiness in their communities.

Something similar for me. I believe in many anarchist principles but also some free market ones. I don't have any faith in revolutions or beauracracies. And think that the last people that should ever be given any power are those who argue endlessly about obscure theoretical points from...

...idealist with dangerously anarchist leanings. i'm definitely to the left of any political party with seats in the uk. in the political compass thigns i always end up in the bottom left though, even if no-one wants me in their group and i don't like aligning myself with other people's ideas.

The point is, the political compass asks you a LOT of questiosn and these are balanced out. Just being authoritarian on crime and imigration wouldn't get you an overall authoritarian score. I hold a liberal view of migration that in an ideal world people should be free to settle where they...

Isamabard. You do hold free market liberal views on migration. Your right to an extent to call me an authoritarian. I did do one of those tests once.I thought it was shit. Sadly lots of people's views can be channelled but there are many ore who dont fitnicely into the compass. On some issues...

Do me a favour and tell goatcock (that's the village idiot otherwise known as tbaldwin in case you're wondering) that I was never in a 6th form, please Isambard. Thanks. :)

...the anti side. So the allegation that I hold "free market liberal views" could equally apply to yourself. Last time I did the political compass I was WELL away from a free market position. I've asked you to do the test and you've refused. If I rightly re-call you said the test was a...

You appear to mistake your exhibited traits of posting partisan bilge and compassion-free aggressive rhetoric with "intelligence and rationality". I'd love to be there to hear you bleating when your state is rounding you and the rest of the SA (whoops, I mean "Freepers") up as "political...

:D Me neither. I live in faith though and alot of patience. The organic nature of anarchic society means that it really relys on the equilibrum of the individual in order to flourish which I think gives some idea of how far away we are from it. Empowerment and enlightenment of each person...

Isn't Hughes known in journalistic circles as "The Late Simon Hughes" because of his notoriety for lateness?

Economicly certainly, the FDP are "slash and burn" neo-liberals. But they are less authoritarian.

...one-election compromise and then head off rightwards as most of their marginals are against the Tories. If you look at the political compass site, the Lib Dems German equivalent, the FDP are classed as right of the German Conservatives, the CDU. (Though probably not their more socially...

Just read this letter in the Guardian (in response an article from Neal Lawson of Compass) from Philip Gould, the arch Blarite and ideologue of the NL project to see and understand their unbelievable arrogance and hubris and perhaps why they will soon see the end of their project 'This...

Your political compass Economic Left/Right: -7.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.85 I think I'm moving towards the centre as I age :D

FWIW, I think the political compass is crap as well, for a start because it is entirely possible for two people with very similar "co-ordinates" to have very little in common politically at all. The test is biased towards the bottom left, it is far too easy to predict which direction a certain...

Your political compass Economic Left/Right: -6.50 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.82 My spot and Gandi's spot on the graph are in the exact same place - just like three years ago. :cool: oh my - on the Canadian chart, I'm in the same quadrient as the NDP and the bloc Quebecois...

Your political compass Economic Left/Right: -7.63 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.31 Incorrigible recidivist.... ;)

Would you care to explain the contradiction between being a social libertarian and an economic left winger (to use the terms given by the political compass)?

For years now, it has been traditional for people to post Political Compass threads at regular intervals as if they had never been done before. It is also traditional to point out that while their notion of a two-axis view of the political world is an improvement on the one dimensional...
