Political Compasshttp://www.politicalcompass.org/indexThis has been done before, but not for ages, so thought it would be interesting to see where everybody stood now. I am -9.38 Left/Right, -7.64 Libertarian/Authortarian Still an Anarchocommunist

Economic Left/Right: -9.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.44 More left than Stalin eonomically and more liberal than Gandhi socially. I am way do3n in the bottom left dorner, nearly of the scale 
Seriously though, these tests are very limited and the questions could be answered in several ways depending on what we are talking about. Fun though. |

I have been told before that you actually DO look like thatcher, not in comparison to other our-scotlanders, it's more your bandy legs, shrill voice, blonde wig and giant handbag.

Economic L/R: -5.8
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian -1.8 I seem to have come out on the left, but not nearly as far as the other paticipants. (Except azzuri's economic score!) |

Great, except that this diagram has nothing to do with our politics... | ||
| azzuri |
...doesn't mean it's not interesting. What do you mean by 'our politics' anyway?... |

Thought I would take this again since I had a little time on my hands.
The outcome was that I moved even more to the left, if that was at all possible and ever so slightly more liberal. -9.88 Left/Right -7.69 Libertarian/Authortarian |

Economic Left/Right: 4.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.44 Hmmm, my score seems to have changed slightly. |

| agentmancuso |
I came out as:
Economic Left/Right: -1.62 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.03 which is a bit weird. I think I read too much into the exact wording of the questions. |

A bit late but:
Economic Left/Right: -4.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.28 |
||
| Tartan Tory |
Economic Left/Right: 4.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.10 I'd struggle to be more centrist on social policy but I do seem to be in the exact opposite quadrant to basically everyone here. |
