The 2015 General Election

[chrisp65]

Just to support a mod and get the secret bonus likes you get for doing that, Bicks has been very clear in condemning any 'party' system of politics for a long time.

I've done this test a few times in the past and always get around that general area.

 

That said, I don't really take much stock into results from that website as there are quite a few loaded questions and a pretty obvious left-wing bias.

Someone I know is a full on Kipper, I said to him that I agree the current immigration situation needs some attention but what about everything else. What are UKIP's plans for things like the Police, Schools, the armed forces, roads, pensions. There's a hell of a lot more to it than tighter border controls. His reply, "taking risks is how we evolve".

I was speechless.

Perhaps he should take a risk and challenge a Grizzly to a fist fight.

That's genuinely the most right leaning I've ever seen a Political Compass result come out, without someone taking the piss. Edited March 1, 2015 by Chindie

am I being uber dumb?

how are people getting the graphic to post up? I'm really chuffed with my -8 / -8 and wanted to show off...but it's a png file that won't post.

 

 

....there is something fundamentally flawed with that test - I just filled it in with as many stupid arse neo con answers as I could, putting corporations strongly ahead of people and insisting people's bedroom antics be monitored etc.. - my result came out less right wing than where they've plotted Labour. For all the quips about Labour not being 'left' which I can agree with, that test cannot be giving decent results

Perhaps you need to broaden your horizons.

As Bicks said, copy the image and upload it. I used imgur, which was simple even for a luddite like me.

free pic hosting is pretty painless, no joining, registering and most of the time, there's hardly any captchas's.

Internet requires the use of energy = bad lefty.

Tree-mail.

[chrisp65]

I can use the internet sufficiently well for my, er, needs.

[Rodders]

well if everyone else is doing it... although will say some of the questions are a bit limited in their response options, some of which I felt required far more nuance than a straight up yay or nay approach.

I did mine but accidentally closed the window.

 

But I was about one square to the right of the Green Party dot.

Who'd a thought it?

 

To misquote JCC:

 

You just wanna be nice

You think it's clever to care..

Yep me too. One square to the right, one square higher - quite surprised by that really tbh.
