Another short political quiz
Edited on Tue Feb-09-10 01:36 AM by Ardent15

My result: "Social Liberal"

"You want government out of people's personal lives, but you appear to desire some continued government control over people's economic activities. There is no political party that represents your views. The Green Party does run many candidates with similar views, but the overall Green Party platform is much more socialistic than you are. You would need a mix of Democratic, Green, and Libertarian politicians in office to get the balance of freedom and social justice you desire. The ratio between these depends on how high up your dot is on the chart. "

I'm just between the outer edges of Centrist and the inner edges of Liberal, and trend towards the Libertarian rather than the Authoritarian side.

1. Some of those responses were worded in such a way

7. The questions were obviously written by a Libertarian, I could tell by the wording.

9. I got the same impression
I answered a couple of questions where I could hold my nose and choose a response, and submitted that, but all the questions had to be answered, so I said screw it.

2. Social Liberal here
&personal=91.6&economic=39.3

"You want government out of people's personal lives, but you appear to desire some continued government control over people's economic activities.

Approximately 12% of the takers of this quiz scored in this area, 18% for all liberals outside the centrist circle."

Note: Bold emphasis noted above by me.
"There is no political party that represents your views."

3. I'm an Economic Liberal...
You want government out of your personal life, at least to some degree. But you want more government in your economic life. Politically, you appear to be a solid Democrat, though you might also find the Green Party appealing.

(Actually I'm a long-disaffected former British Labourite, turned off by Blair. I've voted LibDem mostly, Green and Labour in my time.)
