Ok
http://www.politicalcompass.org

It tests on a two-dimensional scale (left<->right and libertarian<->authoritarian) that is a better way of describing your political stance than the traditional left/right-only scale.
The test also shows the position of famous politicians and persons.

My score:

Economic Left/Right: -1.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.31

..Which means I am a little bit left.

Politics are somewhat scary, huh? :lol:

I can often look at a leftist persons idea's and find that they are good.. Same with some right-wing persons.. Sometimes. It's hard for me to know where I am, my Political stance is kinda obsolete. Differs from time to time. Never been to the right though.

A lot of the things it has are mainly asked from an US viewpoint, especially some of the foreign politics questions. They simply cannot be asked as such for other countries, nor are some things even the same than there.

Your political compass

Economic Left/Right: -3.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.00

Which makes me Leftist Liberitarian

My closest politicians are Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Dalai Lama according to the test.

I don't believe in politics. Grown men (and women) fighting like kids over stupid things and still making the wrong decisions...

Not really sure how accurate that is..its very difficult to generalise and there were a lot of questions where a tick box did not really cover it..still, a good waste of 3 minutes

Innit funny how "left" and "sinister" both have the same roots? I'm a left, by the way....
