LOL. Love how it slowly decreases as we go down from left to right, until it hits One Nation and sky-rockets. It's not exactly a strong correlation to One Nation, though.

Take from that what you will. Political compass says: Far-left. That's a pretty restricted 'measure' of it, though.

So, since my political outlook has been refined considerably in the past, say, 4 years, I took this test again. I'd be interested in what people like Zimmerman, NTB, Iron, sam04u, and Schroedinger get these days.

Political Compass Test
Economic Left/Right: -6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.10

Which places me comfortably as a 'leftie', which is something I'd probably never admit openly.

Oz Politics Test

Labor Party: 61.8%
Family First: 48.6%
Liberal Party: 37.4%
National Party: 34.8%
One Nation: 51.2%

Political outlook
Your broad political orientation score is -19.5%, which equates to a ‘Centre Left’ position
Economic policy
Your economic policy score score is -49.7%. This equates to a ‘Left’ position
Social policy
Your social policy score is 1.4%. This equates to a ‘Centre’ position
Traditional Values
Your traditional values score is -58.4%. This equates to a ‘Left’ position

Centre-left sounds more like it.

Below is me 4.5 months ago. Quite a shift in stance for such a small amount of time. Probably because I've grown to revile most aspects of libertarianism, as well as right-wing conservatism, as both extremist and inhumane.

The strongly left-wing economic stance is probably a bit inaccurate; I'm a fan of mixed markets, so I hate laissez-faire (entirely free) and communist markets (entirely government regulated). Australia's mixed market is generally ideal.

Hmm... Wow.

Also political compass I was like 8.20 and -10. Social Reforms, in my opinion, are far more important than economic ones.
There's no such thing as society

What was your economic/social/traditional breakdown from the Oz Politics one?

I recall you getting 100% for this section. What happened?

They've gotten to you! Haven't they?
I don't think it's wise to be too extremist with regard to traditionalism, zimmerman.

If you accept that there are certain morals it is good for Western society to maintain (and I hope you do), then you'd probably be in favour of moral freedom, but not to the point where it potentially degrades the moral framework of society.

tl;dr: don't aim for -100% just because you hate fundamentalist Christians.

Sorry guys, not sure what happened there. Appear to have boomeranged from the left. Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)
