Where I stand

Have known of the link for a long time and was tempted to post in the cool site of the day, (cool for news/political junkies anyway). I didn't want to duplicate the effort of other dwellars' work, so I searched and found this thread.

I would be interested to see the results for others refreshed or in some cases, posted for the first time.

Here is my result:

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -6.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.28

This is now:

Economic Left/Right: -6.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.79

My economic perspective seems stable, but I'm having a pretty strong negative reaction to the current fad of strongmen as political leaders.

from what i see of this scale, i'm damn close to being a centrist, but in relation to the general cellar population i'm going to start hosting fundraisers for the nazi party soon.

I thought we were supposed to get more conservative as we age? And apparently I hate the government more than ever. When I search my feelings, it's true.

I actually dislike the way several of the questions are phrased. I don't think there's enough subtelty to answer many of them accurately.

But all in all, I guess it really didn't deliver much in the way of suprises.

The only people near me are Undertoad and Chopin. Somehow, none of the power figures they give coordinates for are in the 4th Quadrant.
