    Bit disappointing really..I was hoping to be a little more right <IMG SRC="frown.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    I did do the test with a little more imagination and managed to get almost exactly to Thatchers level <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    The majority of us seem to be 'left wing libertarians'.

    So much for all being "right wing nutters"

    Hmm, I think I'm the nearest to dead-centre so far:

    Economic Left/Right: 0.25
    Authoritarian/Libertarian: -0.82

    I did the same test a year or more ago -- I vaguely recall that I was more authoritarian but roughly the same economically. I can't say that my current score surprises me, since my current philosophy embraces many positions that traditional analyses would find contradictory. Hence, little net result.

    Well it said I was -1 to the left. So now I can brag to my friend, and tell them that a british test, said I was left, and that I am not radical right oriented (Though I myself, know that I would vote for a centre-leaning right party if I could vote).
