      I got 96% right-wing, I may be right wing but not that much!

      I don't think my view on sexuality and gender has anything to do with politics.

        Nope. It just makes you a bigot.

          Neither of the options on that question would class as bigoted.

          HTH.

            Think about it a little more. Think about your answer and then you'll see why it was scored in the way it was.

              Hard to say what right and left wing really mean. People think of Nazis as right wing but in many ways the Nazis were left wing, it wasn't called National Socialism for nothing. They believed in the state overriding personal interests for the perceived common good in just the same way as Stalin did. Stalin was quite keen on the idea of a national identity too.

                64% right wing
                You're basically David Miliband

                Arse, tulip, titty ********, whatever....

                I think the problem is that left-right wing politics isn't all there is. I actually have quite strong libertarian views which pull my score to the left according to that quiz.

                The score really needs to show something along these lines:

                  there is always an exception though. doesnt that prove the rule ?

                  what about that aberdeen angus with an 11 on her back armed with a rifle

                  some people thought she was a left wing military coup

                    Why does politics just boil down to "left or right"? Surely with the whole range of ideas, policies & prejudices is far more complicated.

                    I refuse to buy into this left/right tulipe.

                    My own political views occupy at least a 4 dimensional space.

                      Unfortunately, the kind of person who makes a "career" in politics is too dumb to grasp any kind of nuance or complexity. Therefore everything has to be reduced to "us v. them", "you're either for us or against us", "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", and other such braying and hooting dressed as thought.
