Socialist is the closest to me but I don't really fit into any of these very well. I believe in progressive taxation and socialized medicine and things like that.I do believe in having a free market but I think non-progressive capitalism as a primary economic system promotes the idea that the right to live is tied to working, where I think the right to live is inherent in your existence, regardless of your work ethic. I believe in democracy, though I think, ideally, most laws would be based on humanitarian principles.

I was of the Divine Right party, but have transferred over to the Peace Party.

I feel strong as a bull moose too.

I was Green Party until I moved to Oklahoma and there was no Green Party, so I registered as Democrat. I would have picked Green, but it doesn't represent an ideology per se really. I picked Socialist. Go Bernie!!!

Just for fun

In Britain, liberal means neither left-wing or right-wing i.e. centrist.

No it doesn't.  The conservative party in Britain is center.  The lib-dems are left.  Don't believe everything you read on wikipedia.

Also note that the Overton window is shifting right again in Europe (see for instance Hungary, Romania, Czech Republic, Greece)

I am conservatively liberal. I vote common sense; unfortunately, that is getting more and more difficult to find in the political arena.

Green-ish, given the "package deal" that most political ideologies are by necessity. I'm not sure I go all the way with all the policies of the current Aussie Green political party but it seems to be the best of a bad lot these days, since the demise of the Australian Democrats (which I would have placed as centrist-liberal).

This poll reminds me how much I love that the "Liberal" political party here in Australia with it's conservative position on the ideological spectrum (the more so under the current leadership) so predictably surprises visitors from overseas, especially visitors from the USA where to be a "liberal" apparently means something quite different.

Someone explained to me that ideologies could be easily broken down into the size of central government, the further left you go the bigger government is with things like welfare and socialized medicine, and the further right the less government eliminating those things plus more like IRS and CDC. I will go in order of extreme left to extreme right.

Totalitarianism, communism, socialism, liberalism, moderate(middle), conservatism, libertarianism, and anarchism.

The first option comes nearest. I was raised in a liberal family and that has influenced me to this day - to a certain extent. For the remainder, I turned rather conservative and just a bit left of the centre. From a cultural point of view, I am a nationalist and I am convinced that there is a strong underlying demonic influence behind all those discussions concerning Dutch cultural and folkloristic issues. And I am rabiately anti-EU. I do believe that if the Netherlands, or any other EU country, don't get themselves out of this Evil Union, they will atone for it sooner or later.

You're both right but condor is more righter. In the UK liberal does mean centrist. 

It's all relative so comparisons between countries is not an exact science, what is seen as as centre in one country would be regarded as more left-wing in some countries and more right-wing in some others. The USA for example is more right-wing than the UK so everything in the UK seems to be shifted to the left by comparison.

Since most countries the western world are classified as a Liberal Democracies it could be argued that all the major parities in those countries are essentially liberal.

My ideology is a workshop in the bottom of a cruise ship where we produce sacks of umlauts.
 
Politically I'm in tune with the likes of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Whatever it is that people call them, I suppose I could be called the same. I also like chocolate cake and grazing in the yard for dog poop.

On the Political Compass Test I'm slightly left and south of the Dalai Lama and Gandhi (Economic Left/Right: -5.25 ; Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.15), which puts me squarely in Green territory, though I don't follow any political party or its ideology.
