Any chance you can give some sort of opinion other than fuck off?
How do you determine that Brown and Labour are left wing? Everything they have done for the past decade has been right wing.

You shouldn't laugh really,but the irony of people like this setting a political test is off the scale.The idea was developed by a political journalist with a university counselling background, assisted by a professor of social history
Perhaps the real results they are looking for is to see how many people actually take the test or believe the results of the test & not the test itself.

This compass is wonky. It says that the Conservatives are more authoritarian than New Labour. What a joke.
Who thinks ID cards are a good idea? Not the Conservatives.
And New Labour has vastly increased the power of the government over the individual, for example by increasing the state's ability to snoop on our phone and internet usage and by building up the world's biggest DNA database of people convicted of no crime whatsoever.
New Labour are also keen to restrict our right to trial by jury.

Just to make that diagram clear, it's from early 2008.

Labour have been behind these but tbf the Conservatives would've if they'd been in power when the technology was available. The conservatives are just using it as an unpopular policy that they can oppose and gain favour with. Unfortunately New labour have trodden all over the traditional values of their core support with this and other "anti-terror" legislation but it's a reaction of what's happened in the USA after 9/11. But I don't trust either of them to repeal much legislation without enough opposition from those who care. But who's representing them?
The Illusion of choice!
What is interesting is that it shows that the "Establishment" has it's own agenda that isn't what the majority of people really want. There isn't any choice to be had between the two parties capable of winning, and shows that if enough people actually vote with their conscience rather than with some vague idea of loyalty to a particular party or parties, then perhaps the silent majority will finally be heard and properly represented.
But times change and I believe and hope that eventually the government of our and other countries will have the courage to steer away from the current paradigm that profit and control are essential. They're not! But it will take a while and a lot of pain for the change to happen, But it will!

I took this about a year ago. It appears I have got even more liberal, but less communist
