Erm...I'm a little politically uninclined to figure out what that means. I'm a Leftist Livertarian...? Quoi?

Most interesting... though methinks I've seen this thing before. It'd be interesting to see some stats on what people answered to the questions...

I found many questions to be misleading, trying to categorize and pidgeonhole too many ideals into a simple agree/disagree, just as the whole democratic system does.

Although the results don't really mean much because a)it can only realistically tell you whether you are left/right or libertarian/authoritarian since it is way too general to be able to give you a number. b)the questions are way too vague....

Most of the questions need to be asked in context: "If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations." well if its my corporation then I disagree if not well then obviously I agree Twisted Evil "A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system." well that is a given but the answer doesn't say whether or not you support a one-party state(although it would depend on the party I guess) , "You cannot be moral without being religious." most religions define a moral person as one who believes in their religion...

Heh! A perfect example of the syllogistic fallacy. To wit:

If A then B
If not B then not A
If not A then not B - false

Fun, mind twisting stuff really.
