On the whole, I'd rather wait for complaints to roll in. There are way too many people on Apolyton to do a hand recount.

quote: Originally posted by St Leo quote: Originally posted by Giancarlo I respect social liberals too. They aren't bad people. But people who even get anything less then -1.5 on the economic score, I can't understand. How can you believe in illogical economic views that are proven not to work? We have a differently set of objectives and a correspondingly different definition of "work". Laissez-faire capitalism has proven that it does not work.

I'm sorry but there is one thing I have to say about this.. that's wrong.

And goodness, that political map is an eyesore.. you had to use bright orange?

The reading on the social scale looks good. I'm just as much a privacy freak as your average Slashdotter, and the only things keeping me from being even lower on the scale are my traditionalist opinions on parenting.

On the economic scale... I think I like to be centrist in theory and the test might pull me a bit to the right, but in practise I like doing things the way I've seen them work, and since I've only ever lived in Finland, that's the way I prefer. -0.38 on Polcomp's scale doesn't look a lot like the Finnish way .

Also, as a few people have already pointed out, this test needs a "mu" answer choice...

At least in 'Poly

There is a general agreement here about social/political freedoms, and you'll see only a small core of posters opposing them. If you had a poll about gay marriage on 'Poly (I think it is a prime example of the authoritarianism scale), how do you think it would compare to a poll taken in the real world?

I find it comforting that even my fellow conservatives aren't loony authoritarians.

It's also interesting to notice that although I'm percieved as a right-winger, I'm only an inch north of Sava on the graph.

I looked on the "election 2004" page of the Political Compass website. Gian is in the same spot as Badnarik (the libertarian guy). What an insult to the Libertarians.

Anyway, aslong as we are doing the Politcal Compass again, we can do this one again:
