Either the proverbial smiley got lost in between your thoughts and what you wrote or you certainly have a problem with people who don't think the way you do.

But what do I know... I'm not to be trusted!!!

bah, you didn't see the other loaded questions, like those on property. Many of them are derived from popular quotations.

The economic Left/Right spectrum is set up to run from absolute, global laissez-faire capitalism to absolute, global, all-property-in-common-and-administered-by-the-government, communism.

Economic Left/Right: -6.00
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.00

Hrmmmm, Ghandi and Nelson Mandela...

I'm surprised that Tony Blair is so far to the right considering he's supposed to be a labour leader, I didn't realise the British labour party was so conservative nowadays (mind you he's just a little to the left of John Howard our liberal leader), or does that also mean why his leadership is so unlikely to survive Iraq?

Well, if its any consulation...in the 1950's I would have been a staunch democrat...but in the words of my father...."I didn't leave the Democratic party,....IT left ME!"

No thanks.

I agree. I kept finding myself qualifying answers, but naturally it wouldn't allow me to do so. I can't possibly consider the final result valid.

"If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations."

WTF? Won't even bother to read the rest.

"Do you like liberals and kittens or conservatives and the ebola virus?"

Someone shoot me now, please.

I put as much faith in something like that to tell me what I believe as I do in the tooth fairy. Those questions were so loaded my monitor fell off the desk.

Interesting the loaded questions that I could have answered either way.

Economic Left/Right: -2.38
Libertarian/Authoritian: -5.74
