I have taken this a few times over the years and drifted around a bit. According to this test I am left leaning Libertarian - I was almost Gandhi Laugh

Interesting that!
4.75 left, 1.18 Social Libertarian.
Given that it's out of 10 each that is actually a lot closer to being in the middle than I'd have said!

You have to hand it to The Sun, they're always on the winning team, I don't think they've ever los an election.

That test was total bobbins. I gave every question considerable thought and answered each one honestly. My result put my dot virtually dead in the middle of the chart - 0.11 on the left/right and 0.05 on the libertarian/authoritarian scale - which is absolute nonsense. It placed me near the SNP politically which is laughable! I answered strongly agree for capital punishment, strongly disagree shirkers should get benefits, strongly disagree BBC should be public funded etc. Test absolute nonsense IMO.

when we did the test at college in 1917 or some when like that, I didn't fit on the graph to the left  - honest - we didn't give it quite enough squares!!!   I am somewhat gutted at my current performance.

I read -4.13 for economic and 1.69 for authoritarian, not sure what that says about me and probably contradicts most that have an opinion about my posting.

I always enjoy contributing to these threads as you pick up an understanding of where people you debate with are coming from.

I post with the caveat that I don't agree with the placings of the political parties on their graph. I suspect I may be quite lonely if we plotted all the results here onto a graph.

It would be an interesting graph to do.
I think you would have company if those on the politics forum also contributed their scores.
