Interesting view on the upcoming British elections, and a good survey with analysis similar to the well known libertatian diamond graph.

Heh. Not a shocker, I'm significantly more conservative then the average Brit;

89.9% are significantly to your left
9.6% have views about the same as yours
0.5% are significantly to your right

You know what is funny though? I bet you those people taking this survey who are the inverse of me politically are mostly answering "Centre" as their self-proclaimed position.

I don't think they would want me in the UK:

* 92.7% are significantly to your left * 7.0% have views about the same as yours * 0.3% are significantly to your right

Hmmm...I am not sure I would fit in too well in Britain.

Thanks for a great find. Someone should get this webdesigner to set up something like this for the US. I'd love to see the LAtimes readers vs the WAtimes readers.

"The government is mostly interested in helping itself, not ordinary people." My answer: (strongly agree)

This is the question the brits will need to understand to fix their country.


However, on a lighter note, this test enabled me to discovered a potential problem:

Of women...

100.0% are significantly to your left
0.0% have views about the same as yours
0.0% are significantly to your right

LOL!

I scored a 2.8 in Crime and Punishment and Internationalism, which the poll claims means that I am "slightly punitive and isolationist" (funny, I thought that I was a save-the-earth Neo-Con).

Scored a 4.6 in Economics, etc., which means that I am "Very free-market and pro-war" (at least they got that one right).

If the table of how the "rest of the population" compares to me is at all representative of the opinions of the British, then their country is lost (75% are "more socialist"? WTH?).

Page two said that I was "slightly" Right of Center and then the next page told me in graph after graph how much of an "extreme right winger" I am, which will come as a surprise to the guys I was just arguing with on another thread who thought I was a Godless homo-leftie or something...Lol!

Compared to the whole population...

0.2% have views about the same as yours

0.0% are significantly to your right

It would be nicer if they had the red and blue zones reversed, however...

I wonder if there will be a little cloud of FReepers in the upper right this time tomorrow.

According to their stats, if I lived in England I would be to the right of almost everyone.

Maybe I'd try to gather up some friends and colleagues, charter a few vessels, and try to sail to some other shore where we can enjoy freedom from... oh... nevermind.

This is a great quiz which provided quite a bit of interesting detail about my answers at the end. Yeah the British seem to be firmly indoctrinated into the liberal fold unfortunately.

Wow!

I'm a freemarket, prowar, hanging/flogging, eurosceptic!

Apparently, there ARE no British women to the right of me... which is fine by me, because that's the hand I "draw" with ;o)
