This 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  Wink

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 Smile

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.  Laughing

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!)
