Economic Left/Right: -2.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.72

^^^^^^^^^^^^
staying pretty constantWink
i did myself and it clicked
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Now THIS is resurrecting an old thread. Been thinking about politics and remembered this and couldn't help myself.
 
My first score (a while back)
Economic:   - 6.88
Social:        -3.49
 
 

Economic Left/Right: -4.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.79

Authoritarian
Left





















Right
Libertarian
 
Shocked I can see a little bit of movement over time... but on the economy how did I shift 2 POINTS to the right??????

As for me..

Economic Left/Right: -8.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.74


As usual, I can't post the pic of the graph, but I can assure you it's pretty impressive (though I don't know in whose exalted company I might be...) - and it's me as well!

This means, GR in full-on political firebrand mode.... Fly, you fools!WinkLOL

I think I didn't have enough "strongly agree"s for my conservative votes that I should have, but I'm mostly down the center

Libertarian does not mean liberal. this is a typiucal US misunderstanding.
 
only in the US is a liberal seen as left wing.

I know what a libertarian is (my uncle is one) LOL but I didn't think I'd share the same levels of views as Gandhi! Well, whatever
