Here's a fun way to while away a few minutes:

Take the test and see where your political tendencies lie. I'm somewhere Gandhi
I have a problem here... I agree with "from each according to their potential, to each according to their need etc", I think a freemarket economy is a capitalist lie, and I will think the NHS is an out of date dream...
I'm a left wing libertarian... down near Nelson Mandela... :-X

me too.
Have done this three times in the past and each time it shows me as a left wing liberal. Can't seem to get the right answers to make me a Mail reader - don't know where I am going wrong ;D
The last time I did it:
Economic Left/Right: -7.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.85
25/11/08
spot on with ghandi ! :o ;D
I find this the telling one:

Now all you righties who think New Labour has got us into this sh*t. Tell us why that is - go on!! Tell us!!! ;D
and another one alongside Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama. Very happy with that!
Similar result here, Economic Left/Right: -5.50 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.74. But I knew that! ;D
G x
I'm a left libertarian too, somewhere around the Gandhi and Nelson Mandela area. That suits me fine!
-5.62 Economic Left/Right
-6.87 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian.
I don't think this thread is representative of the board in general. Where are the middle-Englanders - are they scared do you reckon?
I'm almost smack bang in the middle!
Economic Left/Right: 0.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.21
And another Ghandi/ Mandela position to add to the list :)
Add me to the list of being nearest to Ghandi, Nelson Mandela and Dalai Lama. I came out as Economic Left/Right -6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian -1.49
Ghandi for me
Economic Left/Right: -3.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.87
I wonder if JRP has done this test?

Maybe the most recent copy of the Daily Mail had some extra big words in it, and they're taking a little longer to work out what they're meant to hate this week...
Forgot to say.... It would appear that I'm pretty much Gandhi, perhaps a little more libertarian.

love it, OllieC !! ;D ;D ;D ;D
I don't think I could have got any closer to the bottom left hand corner:
Economic left/right 8.5
Social libertarian/authoritarian 7.9
I'm hardcore, I am!
I'm there with Gandhi and Nelson Mandela

Your obviously a Nazi :o or did you miss out the negative (-) symbol?
disappointingly close to the middle: -2 / -1.7
Some of those questions really made me laugh, I thought they were actual Mail headlines ;D And according to my score I could teach Ghandi and Mandella a thing or 2 about being on the Left and collectivism - and there was I thinking I was becoming more middle of the road the older I get.......
Bearing in mind that I think benevolent despotism (and I define what's benevolent) is the best form of government, I'm not entirely sure they're asking the right questions :)
