Where do you score on the political compass?

http://politicalcompass.org/questionnaire

Post your graph here. You have to copy it all into word, then into paint. for me it didn't work straight into paint.

Post what parties and people you are similar to, from that site, if you wish.

Similarities

USA- Republican Party
New Zealand- Destiny or National Party
UK- Right between Labour and Conservative
Germany- CDU
Canada- Closest is the Conservatives, but they're still to far left and too far down. If I move there I'll start a party

EU Country- Poland
Famous Person- Margaret Thatcher

holy shit dude u represent the people i protest against

i hav no problem with people until they get into power and start cocking things up. cba stickin the image on but i am somewhere between gandhi, nelson mandela and the dalai lama. i am exactly oposite thatcher and to be honest i would throw up if i was within a mile of her and not throwing something hard or filled with flour or paint.

You must be my opposite. You protest! But please post the image.

why am i not surprised that you are right wing, and believe in state control of society? i coudl have told u that without the quiz.

I dont' knwo about this Y axis, i favor tighter state controls for some things, but i believe they have no right to interefere with other things. They shodul show a graph or something instead.

. . . .Damn link. . . . A bit more libertarian than Gandhi on the graph.

<<< apolitical

Mine was smack dab in the middle b/c I believe in the Wicked Party and no others. :lol:

So yeah, seems pretty accurate!

I would say it's right on...or damn close.

You lot care too much about politics. End of the day, everyone'll f*ck you over. Just in a different way. Accept it.

Couldn't get it to copy right but ---

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 3.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.46

LIBERTARIAN

Right about where I expected it to be.

by **stinkycheese** on Fri Dec 22, 2006 7:29 pm

Looks like it's right on top of Gandhi...and The Green Party in almost all of the listed countries.

by **happysadfun** on Fri Dec 22, 2006 7:39 pm

The further left you are, the more you believe in state-controlled economy. The further right, the more you believe in a free economy. Up is less personal freedoms, down is more. So a full libertarian would be on the bottom right corner.

i allllmost was in the dead center

by **cowshrptrn** on Fri Dec 22, 2006 7:42 pm

I'm not exactly sure how they got Gandhi's spot there, i think i got pushed more libertarian because i believe Marijuana should be legalized in addition to religious freedoms. I don't know how they got Gandhi's stance on drug use.

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -8.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.82

You can count where I am on others graphs..

Found it:

I'm right on the greens for Britain... and semi close to the old labour party

Greens in NZ

Farther down than the left and greens in germany.

Farther down than the new democrat and the quebecan party in canada

Party thing, eh? Would this be involving a small, yellow citrus fruit?

by **happysadfun** on Fri Dec 22, 2006 8:14 pm

Check on the parties on the side.

Yes.

A better test is the one on my profile on myspace.. or okcupid.com/politics.

by **slash1890** on Fri Dec 22, 2006 11:56 pm

Economic Left/Right: -2.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.13

Chilling close to Gandhi.

Sorry but would Gandhi really f*ck you over?
Maybe you are thinking of a different Gandhi to the one i'm thinking of :lol:

With all those peace things Gandhi was rambling about? He must have been on something.
