Fair enough, I thought I'd give it a try though, in the hope that the community could enter into well spirited debate. whilst I know this is likely daydreaming, I thought it would be good to know what our community thinks of the political landscape not just in their own countries but in the differing cultures worldwide. I do believe that 9 out of 10 people in our community could appreciate this thread and enter into the spirit without becoming personal or provocative, unfortunately there is always one, so I would understand if you were to close this thread, but let it run for a day or two first, to see how it goes.

People on the Left tend to be better read and have open minds. The Right get their info from watching FOX news and listening to certain radio talking heads. [img][/img]
I have always suspected it was that way too. I am very left wing anyway, so my result is probably correct, but I'm right on the far left near Communist which is something I never have nor ever will be. But unfortunately there aren't many tests on the internet to obtain your political position, so what can we do, the only other one I can think of is the political compass, I will post the link to that as well.

It's not as black & white as that.
A Liberal by their reckoning would dislike Bond movies as depicting covert abuse of state power, and a Conservative would dislike Bond movies because of the sheer immorality & contempt for authority commonly displayed.
Serious Bond fans (IMHO) generally exhibit eclectic and intelligent political beliefs, independent of mindless 'party line' rhetoric.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. :D

These tests are interesting and all, but I hate labels and the corralling individuals until they are only identified by their "party" and not their actual complex and differing beliefs. These tests miss a lot of the mixed beliefs we as humans have, and try to place you in just one slot when your political views in all actuality may incorporate many. For instance, you may agree that abortion is wrong on one hand, but may also be a big fan of raising taxes for the rich on the other. So are you then more conservative or liberal minded? I don't think test like this incorporate that kind of mixing well.
The idea of sorting people into just one party when their views almost seem to deny the idea of being classified at all has always puzzled me. I think parties and allegiances to parties can really suck any kind of individualism or debate from politics since you are always told to follow the word of your fellow party members and discouraged against criticizing the actions of your group or lauding those of the other party. A lack of communication and overall bipartisanship is why I am so frustrated by current American politics, and while "quizzes" like these are fun, they do contribute to part of that problem.
All these fancy text book terms like "left moderate social libertarian" don't really serve to identify us as much as they separate us into nice little opposing groups that stop us from creating any kind of meaningful discourse on important national and global issues. I'd say the real secret to successful politics would be to have a world where every group's views are respected and accounted for and there is communication between everyone of divergent views so that everyones' interests are addressed. Sadly, I don't see that happening as long as parties like the kinds we have now exist.
I don't wish to turn this into a massive rant about the world's politics or anything by the way, I just wanted to share my very young perspective on things.
Finding co-operation in a common future is more important than divisive labelling.

Culture:
Where are you in the culture war? On the liberal side, or the conservative side? This scale may apply more to the US than other countries. You scored: 1.56
Glad I'm not a dirty hippie.
Or a damn dirty ape.
Because, well, I'm rather against death penalty and definitely for gun control policy, and yet I'm a fan of a franchise about a guy who uses a lot his licence to kill so... (he will prefer to jeopardize his mission rather than to run over an old lady though !)
