I believe this came up a few months ago, but I might as well spam out of boredom

Are you an autoritarian or libertarian, right wing or left wing?

BTW, before anyone starts, it's just a laugh and getting a worrying score doesn't mean you're fascist/communist.

Myself:
Economic Left/Right: -4.12
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -3.54

Somwhere around Ghandi, IIRC

Economic Left/Right -0.75
Authoritian/Libertarian -4.75

In other words I'm a classic liberal.

Frankly the question were woefully simplistic many required
a crude response.

I think I am a leftie Fianna Fail person.

BUt I surpose - FF is the party of the working people in Ireland.

The survey is very american.

Economic Left/Right 1.62
Authoritarian/Libertarian -2.26

Which seemingly puts me just to the economic right of hitler ( bet some of you arent surprised at all :x ) on a par with friedman libertarian wise.

Nothing surprising there I suppose - Milton Friedman and I wouldn't get on it turns out (which people might have noticed already from my using his name here as a stick with which to slap econo-ticians in the Dept of Finance)

Somewhere just to the right of Tony Benn and Ken Livingstone, apparently. Sounds about right, for the most part.

Apparently that means I'd vote for Robin Cook and David Livingstone.

PH01

Economic Left/Right: 0.12
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -4.46

Always thought I was a liberal centralist


Also, it is interesting to look at the results from the UK's major political figures.
Charles Kennedy has moved from the right to just left of centre, while remaining liberal.
And Robin Cook has moved from being a Left Liberal to a Right wing Authoritarian in the space of 5 years. Appears to be a pretty unstable chap, or is it just New Labour?

They've never run a candidate in my constituency so I've never considered them. Last time I voted Green, FG, and Labour in protest of the government at the time. Im one of those 'Get the bastards out!' people.:eek:
