Either all but the smallest political party in the UK are completely out of step with the posters on this board or the test is somehow flawed.
I wasn't happy with many of the questions and I'm the furthest right so far I think.

Political Compass is known as, by far, the best political alignment measurement in the world. The several hundred thousand guys who actually care about this stuff, at politicsforum.org, highly recommend it.
Some of you guys may be reading or intepretating the results wrong. Firstly, the vertical line is actually how left/right you are socially, while the horzontal line is economically.
Secondly, this is a world wide test and I would expect most of us to be left-ish, as the country is generally left-ish secular. People don't vote because of their political beliefs match up, they vote because they 'like' a candidate more.
This is also an indication of why our vote turnout is so horrifically low. My score was highly left wing socially, but only a little left economically. Nobody in the political specturm speaks to me, and nobody represents me. On this ground, I'll probably vote for Gordon Brown, as I think Cameron is a silver spooned smug twat who doesn't understand what life is like outside his million pound houses, the Lib Dems are laughably disorganised and populist, the BNP are a bunch of cunts, the Green Party are all environmental hippies, the British Libertarian Party aren't standing, UKIP are BNP-lite AND smug twats, and nobody else has any sort of pull.
So, I'm voting for Brown as a last resort. DEMOCRACY FTW!!!~
