The Political Compass is a quiz that is a bit more in depth, and provides quite a bit more explanation of the results, and thus, to my mind, is far more interesting. Click on "Take the test" on the left side of the screen.

It uses the same sort of grid, but there are more questions. Enjoy, politicos!!
Cordially,
Rush

I am close to Ghandi it seems.

Now that doesn't surprise me at all.

I'm like the pope?

Rubbish!!!

True...you probably don't wear a dress and a pointy hat...and sporting ₤15,000 worth of jewelry either.


Well, looks like a leftie dominated board here then!

Jeepers, you'll all be sporting goatee beards, wearing open toed sandals, studying at the LSE, and reading the Guardian next!!!

and reading the Guardian next!!!


stopped doing that on a regular basis when I left the UK, now it's the New York Times.

Economic Left/Right: -3.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.18

Which pretty much backs up my shorter quiz result.

Ironic that most of us here are lefties when the elected leaders of our countries (Bush, Blair, Howard, Harper) are all righties.

It is an american thing. It was a little doll like object given away at sideshows in fairs during the 30's-40's as a prize.


Apparently they are worth a decent stack of cash these days so if anyone has a spare one laying around i'll gladly take it.

LSE = London School of Economics, a traditional producer of lefties.

I find I'm getting more right wing as I get older, but then again most people go through their angry young man bit......


Odd..I seem to get more left wing as I get older and more educated. ;) <-- Jeffrey winkie

LOL

Morning Es, trust you to put a smile on my face this overcast day! :-))


I don't have the beard (maybe that will come as I get older)..I do wear open toed sandals (better still..I wear the vegetarian Birkenstock sandals)..I never studied at LSE, although I have studied at Goldsmiths which has a good reputation as a lefty university and I do read the Guardian.
