I found the opposite, it always came out to the the left of where I thought I was. First time I have done it in a while and it has finally moved.

This is probably about right for me now.


This has been talked about before but where they have the main parties on the scale is just absurd. I see they now have Labour on the left but under Miliband they had them towards the middle of the top right and they still have the Conservatives way way right of where they actually are.

It shouldn't be too hard to find examples of people who are trapped in impossible situations by the demands of corporations. Or, indeed, woefully mistreated by corporations without recourse to justice.

Pretty sure the Tobacco industry fits those standards.... both in the past and now in 3rd world countries.

The way the petroleum industry behaved wrt leaded fuels another good example.

Hey look, if I respond in detail it'll be another thread going in the direction people complain about. But it's facile to compare and say that any free market leads to individuals being dominated by corporations. Completely facile.

There are substantial qualitative differences between "impossible situations" which the state is/could be capable of imposing, and the private sector equivalent. To deny this is to deny reality.

I don't know how true this is generally. The Mafia count as a private institution, yeah?

But yeah Vimes's graph is facile. I think it's supposed to be but I dunno.
