This is one that kind of irritates me because there's nothing about organised labour, but still, it's kind of fun if you're thinking about American politics: "Take our quiz to find out which one of our nine political typology groups is your best match, compared with a nationally representative survey of more than 10,000 U.S. adults by Pew Research Center. You may find some of these questions are difficult to answer. That’s OK. In those cases, pick the answer that comes closest to your view, even if it isn’t exactly right." I’m ‘progressive left’, unsurprisingly. But I agree with you, some very fundamental issues are missing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way would I vote Republican should I ever get a vote in USA. That's what I got. And I feel the same as you. It's complicated because UK Conservatives are something like Joe Manchins/Krysten Synemas (sp?) of the USA, but it's really apples and oranges. I'd love to take a British version of this. I do like your new Labour guy, but there were actually a few things about Boris I liked -- just not any of the stuff that got him elected (Brexit, etc.).

fruitvilla Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) on the politicalcompass test I typically score -4, -4 bit of a libertarian, spendthrift @Marka Ragnos A British version Here's a quote not fall afoul of the linking rules Before taking the test: Please note that this isn’t a survey, and these aren’t questions. They’re propositions. To question the logic of individual ones that irritate you is to miss the point. Some propositions are extreme, and some are moderate.

A very slightly more conservative version of me. So now you know what you are The commentaries on the various elections are interesting, though I would take them with a pinch of salt. Interestingly, Maggie's government seems reasonable compared to what we got today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted July 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 15, 2022 Biden’s fist-bump with MBS is the worst thing I’ve seen him do during his presidency. Very disappointing and gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted July 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 16, 2022 Interesting question set. Wording on some of them could be improved slightly and I always prefer a 5 point answer set to allow some mid-points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm one box lower than you but 'Establishment Liberal' on the other test, which I assume is more moderate (and older) than the outsider. Probably having more law and order questions skewed it a bit as I hate crime and criminals but am pretty liberal on everything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
