I put a burger on the grill for you, better hurry!

Maaaaaaaaan, I could really go for a burger right now :(

I'll eat one for you.

Bit more libertarian than I thought. Thing is, as has been mentioned, you can't really boil a person's political leanings down so simplistically, although I guess there are broad strokes you can pain people with.

I think we need an 8-party political system :C

I'm a right dirty lefty me

Perfectly balanced

haha! Nice!

You should join the socialist party. You'd fit right in with your leftier-than-thou attitude :D

Out of curiosity, if you look at the various charts they've done for the political parties in different countries, do any of you actually vote for parties that are in the general vicinity of how you scored (assuming there are any)?

UK parties 2010
US presidential election 2008
Canada 2011
Irish parties 2011

I normally split my vote between the Greens and the SNP. BUt I also recognise that my personal politics are not really viable at the moment in the real world.

If the AV result had been different, my second choice would have been green which matches my result almost exactly. Otherwise I vote labour - never trusted the liberal democrats enough to vote for them and would rather have my toe nails ripped out than vote conservative. It's the Welsh socialist in me coming out! (Plaid Cymru aren't an option in london unfortunately)

My political compass score has me closest to the BQ/NDP on the Canada chart (but a bit more to the left), but i'd never vote for either party. Well, BQ i can't anymore since i no longer live in Quebec, but even when i did live there, i'm a staunch federalist, so the BQ was a total no-go. I hate the NDP and would never vote for them. I tend to mostly vote Liberal.

I didn't realise that the real world had any impact on the 'viability' of politics.

There's no one in my quadrant available for me to vote for at a general election (greens don't run here, and I'd be loathe to vote for them anyway, due to the environmental stuff). So I previously voted Liberal but I think it'll have to be Labour in future.

But yeah, the fact that the majority of people who take this test end up in the bottom left quadrant and all the mainstream parties are in the opposite quadrant suggests there's a problem somewhere. Or people just really do vote for lower taxes and nothing else.

Be still my bleeding heart

This is my real chart
