I'm impressed with you lot.

Your honesty is very commendable. I congratulate you one and all.

Lionel ... you've made the point for me with your results. As someone who is seemingly an ogre of the Right, your left-leaning credential as per the test results would suggest otherwise.

Him being a self-confessed anarchist, I'm looking forward to seeing Grey's results ... I think the big red dot might be nestled comfortably tight up against the bottom lefthand corner. Grin

And Peter-the-Toilet-Lurker ... should be interesting.

I demand a re-count.

There's no way I'm that far left. Embarrassed

The following is my result, on the recent ABC Vote Compass site.
I suppose that goes to show that outcomes will change, depending on inputs of the day!

C'est moi.

I've come to the conclusion that these tests are bullsh*t.

The questions are loaded in such a way as to place you in the Leftwing section of the graph.

And then there are all those questions they don't ask that would move you further to the right.

It's a party game, that's all. Not to be taken as a genuine account of where you are politically.

you started this thread because of some stupid belief that the 'lefties' were lying or weren't serious (guessing here, no one knows why you do what you do) , and even accused them of hiding their results, and then when they show don't show your desired conclusion, the test is bullsh1t .... Grin

maybe it's you that is bullsh1t.

You've just proved my point!!

Such violent hostility from you must place you in the Far Right of the graph instead of where the lambs and sheep are in the Left quarter.

Thanks for proving my point.

You've proved yourself to be a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Why do you assume those that champion equality & social justice are not capable of defending themselves?

Why do you assume that those that seek consensus & harmony automatically believe & accept bullsh!t?

I'm down on the left but if I think your a dickhead I'll bloody well tell you, truth has no political leaning.

There is something wrong with that diagram. What is Barack Obama doing on the right and Robert Mugabe on the left? I also can't believe Obama is in the same quadrant as Hu Jintao. Sad
