My Political Compass.

Well, since it is 2am and I can't quite sleep, I thought I'd take my political compass test. Apparently I'm quite left-wing and libertarian. Interesting.

Your political compass

Economic Left/Right: -8.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.03



It is of course very reassuring to see that I am diametrically opposed to Thatcher though.



And the following reveals that I am much like the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela. Watch out, I'll be fighting the good fight!



Do your own test here and please feel free to post your results in the comments page, or wherever you see fit.

haha. called you a dick. nice.

I did it. I love those things. The best was that one on the BBC website that told you what one of 16 personality types you were. It was great. My personality type?......

...."Heartless Cunt"

anyway, my results are :-

Economic Left/Right: -6.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.03

So....I'm a bleeding heart liberal am I? And I don't even read the Guardian. for fucks sake.

i scored:

economic left/right: -4.13
social libertarian/authoritarian: -2.31

http://www.politicalcompass.org/printablegraph?ec=-4.13&soc=-2.31

but a lot of the questions are completely bogus so how can you agree or disagree to something that has no real meaning anyway?
they should have had an option for "there is an inherent problem with the wording and meaning in this question so i cannot answer"

If enough people leave their details, I reckon I'll plot a wee graph of where you all lie on the compass. Better than hearing about all these so-called "famous" people. Heh.

I'm closest to Milton Friedman. I'm a big fan of the gays and the free market, y'see. I'm RIGHT.

I wish Fraser would post his political compass so you'd update your fucking blog, you cunt

niall said...

My thoughts exactly, you cunt.

Fraser’s simulated political compass.

Economic Left/Right: 7.00

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 8.56

As Fraser seems to be holding this whole show up I decided to take the test once more using my long friendship with Fraser to gauge what answers he would have chosen. As can be seen above it appears Fraser is quite the budding young fascist. He’s clearly been attempting to keep this information from us by refusing to post his political compass grid reference, the Nazi. Now that his terrible secret is out I implore you all to disown the hate-monger.

You can carry on now Niall. Give us your opinion on Alex Salmond going to visit the Queen.
