Where are you on the political spectrum?

more left than John Robertson

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!

Economic Left/Right: -2.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.62

Left-libertarian -4.0 left, -3.38 libertarian.

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.

new labour 1997, 2001 & 2005 were definitely not "left"

Just a tad to the right of Attila the hun

You might like to look at this, Torquemada. SNP are authoritarian left.

slightly left slightly authoritarian almost right bang in the middle, which shocks me as I usually am way off the graph left and authoritarian!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-2.62
-0.87

Talkmadder posting his Nuremberg manifesto

Have you taken the test, Anxious?

Anxious doesn't like it that the test says people like me have centrist views and his ilk are extreme lefties! I'm warming to the test now!

Economic Left/Right: -4.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.51

anxious would be authoritarian left
I know about these things

My authoritarian right status was screwed by me being kind to squirrels.

If Anxious took the test they're gonna need a bigger chart!

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 am Plaid Cymru, FFS! 

Economic Left/Right: -2.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.59

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.

Foinavon - It must be the gardening, my scores relative to your own are -3.75 and -3.59

Your Political Compass

Economic Left/Right: -4.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.15

Very close Blackbarn as is DStyle.
Apparently, we are in the pot-smoking segment of the table, not that I do.

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.

Your Political Compass

Economic Left/Right: 6.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.28

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

I forgot to add my results

economic -6.75
social -4.15
