The Political Compass Test

[Pothas]

I mean the Tories are at PEWS level which is just ridiculous.

 

[Prince EWS]

I mean the Tories are at PEWS level.

Yeah, and they're obviously not, in reality. You can pretty much ignore how they plot the parties IMO.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah any party that wants to keep the NHS can be nowhere near that end of the spectrum.

 

[Furball]

They've got the SNP about 10 points too Libertarian as well, they're far too authoritarian and centrist.

 

[grecian]

Even if you do take that approach, some of the questions are worded in a way that is totally moralistic.

For instance, this one has always annoyed me:



I think the wording here is very confusing. Is it asking you whether you think richer people should legally have a "right" to better healthcare? Or is it asking "If better healthcare is available to those with more money, should something be done to prevent them from getting it?".

I suspect the majority of people might approach these two questions differently.

Yeah, I agree this is an odd one, I mean I'm about as left-wing as you come, but TBH if some hypochondriac rich **** wants to be tested on everything every week, and is willing to pay for, he can take himself away from the NHS.

Admittedly it's a shame for the hypochondriac on a lower income, but there ya go.

Yet there are just some luxuries that NHS shouldn't fund IMHO, because having gourmet food and hotel style rooms aren't really needed just wanted by some.

So I think that q probably skewed me a bit right, ick.

Fascist scum.

In Heefland, there wouldn't be any rich so this wouldn't be an issue. Equal use of phrenology for all!

There is no way that the 3 main parties are as right wing as depicted there.

IIRC the test was created by True Leftists (and therefore the charts are created by them) which is why all major parties seem to be on the right.

2007:
Economic Left/Right: -5.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.64


2008:
Economic Left/Right: -6.25

2010:
Economic Left/Right: -3.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.51

2012:
Economic Left/Right: -4.88

Bit of a swing back from 2010.

Anyone done the "I side with" for the US election?

Anyone done the "I side with" for the US election?

Fat load of help it did helping me decide which LP candidate I liked best

 

[GIMH]

 

[Athlai]

99% Hillary + Bernie
85% Jill Stein
83% Gary Johnson
23% Ted Cruz
7% Donald Trump

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

The funniest question on the isidewith quiz was the "should the government be able to seize private property for civil projects" one, including the answer "no, unless it for an oil pipeline project".

Anyway, I got:
94% Bernie
93% Hillary
89% Jill Stein
81% McAfee
76% Johnson
59% Petersen
34% Kasich
24% Cruz
13% Trump

I'd certainly never vote for Jill Stein though. The American Greens are pretty crackpot-y and support **** like homoeopathy.

 

[harsh.ag]

93% Bernie
92% Hillary

Oh well.

 

[Kirkut]

Economic Left/Right: -6.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.46

Impossible, I don't believe this.

Edit : Or maybe from the view of worldly matters I'm a leftie, but spiritually a rightie.

 

[watson]

Clinton = 95%
Sanders = 91%
Stein = 86%
Kasich = 68%
Johnson = 65%
Cruz = 54%
Trump = 39%
