Hey, ESG!

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Do you remember ages ago, you put a link on here to a site which asks you several questions, and then works out your political persuasion plotted on a graph, between left-wing and right-wing and also how much of an authoritarian you are?

 

Any chance you remember the link??

 

Actually, I might do a search on it - see if I can find it!!

 

 

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Found it already!!

 

www.politicalcompass.org

 

I'm going to re-do mine. Although I was fantastically authoritarian last time I did it, I was also slightly left of centre. <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

 

That won't do!!

 

 

[ESG]

well i think im nelson mandela this time

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Yep - it's still there!

 

I am as Authoritarian as Saddam Hussein and Robert Mugabe apparently!!

 

I've swung more towards the right now too, according to their graph!!

 

 

[Colin Zeal EFM]

 

 

I'm roughly where Tony Blair is, but quite a lot higher on the authoritarian scale!!

 

 

[Stu B]

Economic Left/Right: -1.62

Authoritarian/Libertarian: -0.51

Apparently i'm similar to Jean Chretien.

[ESG]

its alright for you lot

 

this means Goldenbollox is going to come round my mansion for a chat and a Chelsea bun

[EFM's Librarian]

I got -7.38 and -8.56, can anybody on the right beat that for extremism? <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

and yes, I did answer all the questions honestly - I seem to have moved further to the left since I last did it

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I knew you'd be that extreme, EFM'sL. When I was doing my test, I immediately thought of you on several of the questions! Doesn't such extremity make you realise how daft some of your views are? Talk about "loony left"!!

 

Libro - you are a disgrace to the good name of St Alban.

 

 

[The Invisible Man]

Eco/left-right... -8.62

autho/lib... -7.23

 

Apparently I am the most left wing anarchist in the world!

 

Cool! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

 

Come the revolution, you lot are for it! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Stu B]

Can I be one of your generals of something?

[CANV EFM]

+3 and +0.21

[MK James]

Economic Left/Right: -0.75

Authoritarian/Libertarian: -0.82

 

I am Jean Chretien, whoever that is.

<img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

[Tom S]

-4.75 and -3.03

 

Apparently somewhere between the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela.

 

However I could have done with a 'don't understand the question' or 'no opinion' option on some questions.

Canadian prime minister. I always thought of him as being a bit more right-wing than they've given him credit for. Lots of people used to mock him by calling him Jean Cretin - how amusing <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Economic Left/Right: -6.25

Authoritarian/Libertarian: -2.15

 

I'm just above Nelson Mandela

[EFM's Librarian]

I had a discussion with Zeal about one particular question. It was something along the lines of 'do you believe in astrology?' I couldn't work out how that would make you any more left, or right wing, or authoritarian/libertarian. I did a quick experiment, and it appears that if you believe in astrology, this has no effect on your left/right leaning (rightly so) but it apparently makes you more authoritarian! I can't really see why that should be the case - any suggestions anybody?

Economic Left/Right: 4.62

Is that good?

[CANV EFM]
