Political Compass

I used to be a lot more libertarian...I'm now just about equal with Jean Chretien, which scares me greatly.

Economic Left/Right: -3.25
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.90

The older I get, the less I think that I should trust the forces of corporate structure, and the more I seek government to come in and deliver the pimp hand. I used to not care of corporates and their wily ways., while hating the governmental bureaucratic bullcrap. Now, I see that the government may be stupid and ineffective, but it's not so self-serving and malicious (note that I am in Canada - I distrust the US government like you wouldn't believe) as corporations have shown themselves to be.

My results:

Economic Left/Right: -6.00
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.77

Some of those questions were tough. Also, I really wanted a "no opinion" for some of them!

Yeah, tests like this will be skewed unless there's an odd number of choices so that you can say "I'm right in the middle".

Economic Left/Right: -8.25 (slightly to the right of Stalin)
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.31 (more Libertarian than anyone on their charts)

At least I've got good company in that area. :)
