Relaxing to know that I'm opposite Hitler and closer to Gandhi.

Did anyone else notice where Tony Blair is? And the rest of his Cabinet, he's meant to be from a left-wing party!

I think it's been said before, but the vast majority of people who take this test seem to end up in the lower-left quadrant. Hm...you'd have to be crazy to be...say...Right-wing?

The starnge thing is that I'm pretty certain that the people who are like only a little bit right wing do actually vote for the Republicans, which are very right wing.

Interesting... perhaps a site like Newgrounds attracts Leftist Libertarians. Perhaps it is the "counter culture" element. A Rightwing Authoritarian would most likely not appreciate subversive humor.

This is an excellent point.

And you are right Slizor, we need Wade to take the time and do this test.

If some of you are not happy with your results or don't feel like they truely represent you, try taking the test at different times of the day. It may of taken a long time to take the test the first time, but when you have taken the test more than once... you should be able to go a bit quicker.

Well, I tested to be only a little right wing, and I do vote Republican... I guess if I'm a little right-wing, I'd rather vote for the Republicans than the Democrats, who are very left-wing.

The Democrats aren't at all left-wing. Not at all. They'd probably get somewhere need Tony Blair, but a little more to the right.

How are they not left-wing? Sure, they may be closer to the middle than, say, Communists, but I would still consider them to be on the left side of the spectrum.

If the Democrats are not left-wing, then I lean much further to the right than the test indicates (which may be true).

The Democrats have been shrunk down by the right-wing media to be a party of tax hikes and affirmative action. It's not true. Generally the democrats just continue with the amount of taxes that there are. If the democrats were left-wing they would have set up a welfare state in their years in office.

If the Democrats are not left-wing, then I lean much further to the right than the test indicates (which may be true).

Or maybe your views don't match up with your ideas due to the constant media ias of the American press.

Both parties are too far to the center, that's the problem, because whenever someone speaks out, they seem like a radical. The majority of people here though, are left wing extremists.

That makes me a Republican; no big surprises. I'm real close to the middle though. I guess there's nobody like mo on the other side of the Atlantic in the UK then, huh?

I meant the example given in the site of several MP's political leanings.

I don't know how I ever missed this!

On a note of interest, I'm pretty close to Ghandi (Ghandi is more Authoritarian)
