I was urged to open this thread as the discussion was hijacking another thread. So here it is. It describes modern political parties in the major western countries and what each party in these countries stand for.
On the left hand side you can choose different countries.

Also, take the test to see where on the compass you are. I am a Romano Prodi :)

Economic Left/Right: 0.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.23

I took the test ages ago too, I have moved to the right in economic by about 4 points I believe. Guess it's true when they say "if you're under 30 and right, you got no heart. If you're over 30 and left, you got no brain"

خوب یادم میاد که قرن ِ سوّم بود
یعقوب گاهگاهی منو دعوت میکرد به خونه اش
صبح ِ خروسخون ، می رفتیم سَر ِ گردنه واسه قافله زنی
آخه یعقوب عیّار بود .یک چیزی تو مایه های ِ رابین هود

ناهار ، نون و پیاز می زدیم توی ِ رَگ ، با کلی دوغ ِ تهیه شده از شیر ِ بُز
بعد از ظهر هم یک چرت ِ مشتی می زدیم
عصر که میشد ، یعقوب اون تخته نرد ِ ساخت ِ سنندج را می آوُرد که بازی کنیم
وسط ِ بازی هم دستور میداد که بستنی بیارن ، بستنی از شیر ِ شتر.به به به به
حیف شد که که این یار ِ گرمابه و گلستان ِ من زد به کله اش و به کرمان و شیراز لشگر کشید و
به قول ِ معروف " پاش را از گلیمش درازتر کرد " و به سرنوشت ِ نسبتا غم انگیزی دچار شد
به قول ِ قدیمی ها : یک مقداری بی گدار به آب زد
یا به قول تخته نرد بازها : اونقدر گشاد بازی کرد تا مارس شد

البته از قهوه اسپرسوش چیزی نصیب ِ من نشد .لابد ناقلا اونو فقط به
نمایندگان ِ خلیفه ی بغداد تعارف می کرده که سَر ِ شون را شیره بماله

all i can say is i am quite surprised about the results!

either even the most right wing people by ISP standards are objectively liberals or the test just wasn't very accurate! lol

i know i gave a few answers that weren't exactly libertarian (death penalty, more focus on punishment rather than just reform, and consider my race to be better than SOME races - I just had one particular race in mind when i answered that question! lol)

Abs jan don't mix up "liberal" and "libertarian". those questions have nothing to do with libertarianism.

My score has remained consistently centrist every time I have taken the test:

Economic Left/Right: ~0 (0.18 in this case)
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.8

about the same as last time; pushed somewhat to the left economically, I suppose as a result of the meltdown.

Economic Left/Right: -2.32
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.18
