What is your political ideology? EDITED

[HeyItsZeus]

What's your politics? I'm curious.

My Result: Social Democrat

This quiz has defined you as a Social Democrat (you may or may not be a Democratic Socialist as well). In general you are in the Liberal mindset, but wish to take it a step further. You favour the brodening of various social programs and a progressive income tax system to help alleviate social inequality. You wish to change the current social paradigm, but through gradual means.

How about you gentile folks?

EDIT: This site seems a bit better: http://www.politicalcompass.org/test

ME: Economic Left/Right: -4.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.41

Some of these questions seem somewhat slanted, they are also mostly applicable only to US citizens.

Bleeding heart liberal, apparently.

I should have mentioned that. I noticed this too.

After serious reflection my political position is that they all suck.....but Republicans suck a lot more.

I am a Liberal, it seems. No surprise there.
The question about whether I thought government was either too big or too small was a bit restrictive, but otherwise a surprisingly good questionaire. There was no option other than that I either thought the government was too big or too little when I actually think the governement's size is appropriate and I think the government should do some things less (legislate morality, restricting abortion, and so forth) and some things more (monopoly busting, instituting healthcare reform that doesn't suck, etc) but otherwise I feel that the government is neither too large nor too small, though I worry about our democracy getting replaced by an American Plutocracy, given that a number of leaked papers from some of the largest US corperations have this very thing as a stated goal.

In any case, my liberal ideaology is followed by (in order): Social Democrat, Libertarian, Conservative, Communist/Radical Left, Fascist/Radical Right

This test is pretty bad. Skewed to Americans and there were several questions where I did not agree with any of the options.

The result: Liberal Democrat,which is not a position with which I identify.


My broad political position:

Pluralist with an emphasis on social justice rather than economics. I have never conflated material standard of living with quality of life and
see consumerism as a fatal flaw of capitalism.

I consider pure ideologies naive at best, dangerous at worst.

The American cult of individualism bothers me. It seems to be used to allow some forms of social injustice and inequality which I think are unconscionable in such a rich country. But hey. I'm an outsider, what do I know?

It's all about a healthy balance between individualism and communism

What is your political ideology?
Your Result: Libertarian

This quiz has defined you as a Libertarian. Keep in mind, this ideology can be applied to the right or left in the social sense. You believe in a minimal role of the government in solving problems and believe that the "Free market" can handle almost all economic situations.
