This thread mainly serves as a vent for your political opinions.

If you do not know where you stand, here are some tests:

I personally think the second one is of inferior quality, but I'd say see for yourself.

My results:





I should add I don't think a government should not be concerned with morality, I am just ethically liberal.

As I suspected, I'm a lefty with no specific inclination towards libertarian nor authoritarian mindsets.

Can't post pictures on the Wii, but I directly on the X-axis, and an inch or so to the right, apparently.

I'm a left winged authoritarian apparently

Here are some images for comparison.

Oh gawd, lol at the first one.

I don't need some faulty quiz to know my conservative beliefs.

I suppose the 'lol' has to do with the upper right segment, doesn't it?

It is actually often considered fairly accurate, could you point out where it is faulty, please?

Apparently, I'm more right than left, and more libertarian than authoritarian.

Mine's the same as Pikamander, but I was 2 points closer to Authoritarian.

For starters, next to nothing in John Mccain's policies are truly right-wing. At the very least he's where Obama is.
Seems to me like a simple attempt at making a partisan statement, considering how the positions of some moderate Republicans are barely separate from Hitler. Meanwhile, all of the Democrats besides one are in the moderate area.

I'm extremely anti-communist.

And I'm quite liberal, too.

Well I beg your pardon, but McCain is definately more right-wing than Obama. Right-wing is usually identified with economics in a two-dimensional political spectrum, so let's look at their tax proposals:



It is clearly evident McCain's tax proposal is the most degressive one here and Obama's is the progressive one.

However, I'll agree with you that Obama is not left-wing either. That is a result of America's politics being very right-wing.

Also, it's a fact most Republicans are more authoritarian than most Democrats, just look at the War on Drugs, same-sex marriage and flag burning, to name a few issues.

Edit: Here is another image, I would say Prodi's position is inaccurate, though.

That one is certainly more correct than the other, however Obama has plenty left-wing policies, enough to be called moderate left-wing.
He's certainly no extremist, but many of his core principles are left-wing.

i'm more left liberalist. It didn't surprise me though...



same result on other test...



btw, if you're a left politican, you would easily fit in sweden D
