Political Compass

[Damocles]

thsi has been around for years and yet the questions are still shit:

"A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system."

of course the above is true. why is it in the questionnaire?

Actually, I disagreed with it. One party state doesn't necessarily mean arguments will not happen. The Soviets were a one party country, and not exactly a model of efficiency. Never underestimate the ability of people to be complete twats to each other.
The one party system tends to make the government stagnent, and hence nothing gets done because they have no fear of losing power.

errrrr don't know how to post pictures but I am right on the horizontal line about halfway between middle and left, so a cross between Gandhi and Stalin??? wtf?!!

You want absolute power, but once you have it you don't really care what happens.

I was in the region of where Nelson M was . I'd have thought i'd be abit more closer to the right ? Must be mellowing out as i get older ?

As I come from a purely military family, I used to be really right wing when I first took the test. Seems I've gone a bit left economically, and A LOT left socially.

Is this a US study, that might explain the surge to the Left, or probably more accurately the Right of bluemoon have realised that the mighty Left was right all along?

I suspect more of the right might have just gone to bed. :P

I am fucked if i can post mine on here, I right clicked and just got copy not copy shortcut, i have clicked on it, so fuck knows where its been copied to??? . anyway i am three squares from the middle line down ( towards libertarian) and four squares to the left from the centre. so sort of in the middle bit more left than right and heading toward the libertarian away from the fascist. well that just about sums me up then!
