It doesn't have you on the Liberal side Tommy.  It has you very slightly left of centre and well into the authoritarian side.

The Liberals are slightly to the right on the Libertarian side. It in no way has you in the Libertarian side.

I suspect your conservatism is shown by you being well into the authoritarian side and the very slightly left of centre may be that you sometimes care for those in need - which is actually a pre thatcher conservative quality. You may have a bit of a of social conscience.

 I don't really see yours as being all that off the mark with what you say you are. Smile

Also it's going to change a bit with your mood.  I just tried it again and got http://www.politicalcompass.org/printablegraph?ec=-2.88&soc=-4.51.  I'm in the same blocks but not so left tonight - or is it that I'm too tired and pressed the wrong buttons?? Could well be because I stopped myself doing this once!

Just got my dad to do this and he is as follows....

His Graph

Same place as me on the economic line, slightly more libetarian as he's not got many strong views other than on the religion/sex questions.

You believe in having more restrictions on the economy than the UK is currently, and are more liberal than the current government as well. Open to ideas and concepts etc, likely no have few STRONG views on very much to do with life in general. Is my best guess.....

My view Mark.

You are middle of the ground on economic issues.  You could of course also have some strong right wing views and some strong left wing which kind of cancel themselves out and leave you very slightly left of centre.

The Libertarian is quite strong.  This would go along with your strong belief in free speech. The Libertarian is about believing in people's rights and abilities to make choices for themselves and be self determining.  It would suggest this is your stance rather than believing in controlling others or bowing to authority regardless of whether it is worthy or not.

So does that sound like you?

That certainly does sound like me! I'm very passionate about our personal rights and I think authority of all levels should always be questioned and monitored very closely.

Thanks for your help kayll & Neil.

You don't live in the UK do you? Well there is a option on the left side, making you able to change your region etc, that may help.
