Well, like, under Cellar Meta, maybe, we could have a section called "Political Compass", and in there we could post threads where the subject is each question in the P.C. Like the first one would be

Subject: If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.

Then that thread would have a poll

Strongly Disagree
Disagree
Agree
Strongly Agree

And when you have a poll in a thread, when you start the poll, you can set up whether the results are visible to all. (Or maybe it'd be more interesting to have it anonymous?)

And can change your vote as long as the poll is OPEN, so we could just leave it open, or maybe leave it open for a while.

And then, there would be discussion, and people would have to like defend their positions, or people would have things they wanted to defend, or encourage others to vote like them

And maybe if it all worked we would post a "Cellar PC" results graphing everybody's final answer and the Cellar's voting result

Either that or there would be such fury that it would lead to the burning of fiber optic cables.

Or maybe people wouldn't give a shit and the thing would limp along until useless. I can't tell.
