I've long believed that the rot set in some time in early May 1997...

Decker - interesting website and, for me, interesting result:

Economic Left/Right: 0.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.62

Does this means I've beaten Cameron and Blair at their own game and finally conquered the political centre-ground?

So you did. How conscientious.

Looks like James is beating me to the centre ground and Paul is, indeed, a big free-lovin', easy-going hippy.

I might have to do mine again ...

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -1.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.00

Thats pretty middle ground considering i have some radical views. I am totally pro abortion and against those with serious inheritable disabilities reproducing. Very interesting!

Thanks,
Sarah

That's more like it jp! I was worried I was going to be the only person on here with a '+' score.

My trouble is I want to agree with everyone. Oh well I'm tending towards Ghandi.

Rather astonishingly (economically anyway)...

Economic Left/Right: -1.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.67

I guess spanking the kids pushed me over the brink into authoritarianism.

The last time I did this I was about 13 I think, and I certainly don't remember being in this quadrant!

I scored
Economic Left/Right: -1.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.85

after reading your comment on the Economic score, and I read the questions VERY carefully before answering them - I usually have a hard time with the 'everything corporate is evil' crowd, and get into some right arguments with them! But it seems that pretty much here to score positive you had to agree that corporations could pretty much s$*t on you left and right with no regard for anything else - and, well, I couldn't quite agree to that ... [;)]

I found myself leaning to one side, then re-reading the questions and changing the answers. Quite schizo.

I am amazed you didn't know the answer to Decker's pop music question after reading that result [:0] [:p]

The sad thing is it seems I am a peace loving tree hugger....yeah this thing can't be right [?]
