I don't know Hermann, It is a well thought out poll with no links to American quiz sites. Really quite intelligent.
I hope that isn't the problem. I know for a fact there are way more than 28 well rounded intelligent people on these boards. Maybe some are shy about there political leanings? NOT.
So lets see some more votes in this poll please. And thank you.

Economic Left/Right: 6.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.77
Just me and uncle Milty down in the lower right quadrant.

I see you put as much thought into this post as I do when I go for a good dump.
Nothing to rate an opinion on?
Nothing controversial?
Nothing that could be discussed as in with links?
Like I mentioned I put more thought into going for a really good DUMP than you did with this thread.
It is an insult to the members of this forum to post such drivel.
Unless you are into drivel. But myself I cannot give that even much thought as my priority now is to go for a well deserved and thorough dump.
Do you even realize the amount of problems that are solved over a really thorough dump.
Why I think I may post a thread asking members what problems or conundrums were solved over a really good dump.
So many people do not appreciate a really good dump and try to rush thru it. Only to come back a little while later.
Why I wonder how many Great Leaders solved complicated problems over a really Good dump.
Again proving that a really good dump must also be completely conclusive as the end result.
Wow, this is an old thread. However, the term "religious right" in the context it is used, is an oxymoron. The political compass tool posted way back there is similar to all those used by high priced corporate team building consultants, its a great obfuscation tool. Fascism, toatlitarianism and communism all belong on the same line, with anarchism to the extreme right. The so called religious right only want the same thing the Marxist/Lenninsts and Fascists want, obedience to their ideology. The only difference is the their motivational vehicle, and the amount of force they are willing to exert to coerce compliance is proportional to how far left they are.
Depends on the issue. I want flat tax and small government in that regard with almost no bureaucracy but I like the idea of some social programs. Just as long as Quebec isn't getting more than their fair share of things I'd be happy.
I think Gov't should be conservative in spending and leave us with enough money in our pockets to afford the social programs we want.
That works in theory. I think there's a balance. Social programs are okay if they aren't bureaucratically ruined with expense. Things need to be made simpler. We need to get the lawyers out of there. They only succeed at making work for themselves. If tax was simple, if social programs were basic, and if the government knew their real role there would be no need to even debate things because you would have both the social programs you want and don't want and more money in your pocket.
for the most part the rural people are right and the city folk are left, around here.
I don't know how i'd vote for that.
At one time, like at the founding of Canada.. the principles of economic nationalism, strong federalism, and strong respect sovereingty and for institutions such as marriage, and the right to life were Conservative principles. But the Conservative party has been taken over by libertarian nitwits, here and in the States.
I haven't voted for a major party in years. I feel the real Conservative agenda has been hijacked by a bunch of idiots under Harper, and that there is not a bit of difference between him and his predecessors of whatever party (Chretien, Mulroney) in the juggernaut of Free Trade, monetarist and 'free' market predatory capitalism.. the deformation of marriage (by homosexuality) and the holocaust of abortion.. the rise of an eco pagan spiritual systems (replacing Christianity), masquerading as a pseudo science, with its attendant frauds of AGW and radical plans to reduce earth's human population... all in the control of supranational agencies and oligarchs.
There is quite frankly only one political ideology that all the major parties subscribe to now.. a cult of death and deceit. The West has lost its civilizing impulse and is in a death spiral.. and no one is proposing a solution. Left and right.. they are all the same.

51 million abortions in USA. I'm not saying I'm pro-choice or pro-life but those numbers are staggering. I see us heading down too but there is some hope.
I never knew about that 'political compass' test. I took the test and found it really fun, and surprising. I thought I'd be more right wing/authotarian that that.
Here's my score:
Economic Left/Right: -2.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.38
Here's my score:
Economic Left/Right: -2.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.38
It would have been years since I last calculated these results, so here is my present self:
Economic Left/Right: -7.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.92
Economic Left/Right: -7.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.92
The CCF was a different animal back then, of course so were the Liberals and Conservatives. You must remember the days too when the Liberal Party was The Reform Party, it was just before confederation, I was just a young'n then, I think you were in your teens. But really, I left Sask for the East Coast and soon found out that Roy Romanow's NDP was far to the right of John Hamm's PC's. The CCF was much farther right than any of todays parties, too bad they got hijacked by the n-dippers. I guess that's what happens when Western parties get corrupted by Eastern ideologies.
Yeah, as I posted before, it is a similar format to those tests done by corporate team building gurus. They are designed to come up with predictible but dubious results. It comes up with enough accuracies that you regard the inaccuacies as truth. Don't be surprised, be amused, it just like any parlour game, but without the crystal ball.
Oh, by the way, there is no such thing as "right wing/authoritarian", its just another obfuscation of reality courtesy of Josef Stalin, because we believed him, and apparently still do.
