Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - if you are not afraid to be politically pigeonholed

I've really enjoyed exchanging rhetoric with all of you on some of the more interesting and pressing topics in Canadian sociology and politics. There's a very respectful tone in this forum that is missing from many others which makes the debate a lot more fun.

But as I get to know some of you better (by your stands on the issues) I am curious where you fit in the "grand scheme". For those of you who don't mind being pigeonholed... I suggest that you take this test and report your scores here.

http://www.politicalcompass.org/

It's a British site but it applies to most political systems. Take the test before you looking at the rest of the site. I found it very interesting. It's difficult to put aside political correctness and answer honestly but when I did, I discovered that I was more moderate than I thought.

i scored:

Economic scale: +2.5
Social scale: -4.3

( an uncommitted anarchist)

The site also scores historical and current political figures. It's interesting to note that most current politicians from Bush to Kerry to Martin score very similar. In other words, we have little choice in casting our votes...
