Where Do You Stand Politically?

Hey everyone. I'd suggest you all head over to this site, http://www.politicalcompass.org/ , and if your English is up to it, take this test: http://www.politicalcompass.org/test .

It'll spit out where you land on the so-called political compass. Seems pretty interesting to me.

You can see how it works right here...

Basically, left versus right shows if you're a liberal or a conservative. Then there’s the other axis... for example, if you fall below the line, you lean more toward anarchy, whereas staying above it means you favor more authoritarian control.

Cheers. Let's see what you all get! 🙂

This kind of stuff pops up on the forum all the time, especially right before an election. It’s always someone asking, "Are you with the Republican Party or the Democratic Party?" 😉

LOL, I guess I'm a lefty again 😂

This is completely different. It doesn't pigeonhole anyone into specific boxes like you’re implying. You seem to think certain factors dictate who someone is, but here, the possibilities are endless... well, almost.

If anyone needs something translated from that site, just let me know...

You aren't some hardcore leftist. You barely even wetted your feet when the tide came in, but trust me... the ocean goes much deeper than that... 😉

The Libertarian Party, what a joke.

Just drop your scale in the comments, it’s way easier that way.

OP, you haven't even put yours up yet 😁

Exactly where I thought I'd land: http://www.politicalcompass.org/prin...1.00&soc=-4.21

I’ve taken this test several times now, and I always seem to land in roughly the same spot.

If I recall correctly, when I first sat down to take this about two years ago, my results placed me much further to the left than where I am today.😁

Look, I’m a leftist, and I’m talking on the level of the Dalai Lama here...

So, next time someone tries to call me a right-winger, I'm just gonna shove this right under their nose...😁

Right/Authoritarian http://www.politicalcompass.org/prin...=0.50&soc=2.26

Finally landed on the right side of the spectrum. 😁

And I can barely 😁

Political Compass: -6.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.15

Fair enough. 🤷

Still beats the time they told me I was the perfect voter: someone who backs Boris Mikšić. 🤣

Libertarian Left.

Libertarian right 👍

Honestly, some of these questions are just straight-up brainless and totally half-baked...

Here’s another political litmus test for you all.

The result:

Looking at the Democratic Party here in America...
In Austria, I’d align most closely with the conservative People's Party from the EPP, or maybe the Republican Party over in Germany... 🤣 That should give you a pretty clear idea of just how "left-wing" the Democratic Party actually is.

As far as the United Kingdom goes, this is what I got.
It tells me my party is basically just Liberal Democrats. 😕
