If you've seriously got nothing better to do...
If you've ever wondered where you stand politically - on both social and economic scales - this short test might give you an idea. It only takes a few minutes. At the end, a chart shows your position in accordance with the answers you've given.
If you want to, you can also buy a certificate which shows where you stand against many major political figures, past and present.
I come up as left-libertarian - just to the right of Kropotkin's beard and just to the left of Gandhi's sandals! I've hung my certificate in the loo!
Have fun...

Economic Left/Right: -4.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.85
On the left but only just a libertarian - too close to Mugabe for comfort.

When I think of you fatboy, Robert Mugabe is not exactly the next person that springs to mind.

Thanks scratch - I blame the New Romantics and Thatcher and my old Geography teacher.

Adam ant was a complete twat, and what did that geography teacher DO to you...
Come on, share it with the group. You know you'll feel better. Better out than in.

I'm blooming Gandhi.
Stan | June 12, 2012 - 22:24
Hey, I was a New Romantic, too! But I was a punk before and a goth later. I think I may have been easily led.
I'm -8.38 and -8.15. Looks like we're mainly in the same-ish neighbourhood, anyhow. Might be a few oddballs in that pub on the corner, mind...

I'm sitting on Ghandi's lap - he's telling me to lose weight
fatboy74 | June 13, 2012 - 10:17
that's not what he said scratch...

I look like a fleck of dribble in Kropotkin's beard... maybe a piece of tomato skin he's coughed up.
h jenkins | June 13, 2012 - 12:50
I'm -9.12 left and -3.54 libertarian. Trotsky travelling towards Stalinist tendancies? Bring on the ice-pick.
