You and me both. Robin Westin sounds like my mother.  



Incidentally, my <a href=http://www.politicalcompass.org/>Political Compass</a> results(-2.10, -1.50 I believe) place me ideologically far to the left of the Liberal Party of Canada, and close to the NDP, and yet, here I am. Now I'm all confused and   need to go sit down and engage in some self reflection.....

And here I am at:

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -3.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.69

And I thought I was more liberal than that.....
 
Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -2.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.10
 
OMG a bunch of pinkos! Just joking... here is mine:

Economic Left/Right: 5.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.03

As you can see I am a firm beleiver in the "Invisible Hand."
 
Perhaps not too surprising, given my age, I am:

Economic Left/Right: 6.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.38

Almost as 'right' as Milton Friedman
 
Ahh, that was fun - I'm a fence-sitter....

Economic Left/Right: 0.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.92
 
Economic Left/Right: -1.75

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.26

Isn't that special

I thought I was more fiscally right, and more Libertarian!  Instead, I'm fairly close to the centre (slightly left leaning) - guess I'm just a typical Canadian, Eh?
 
Economic Left/Right: 6.13

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.10

Me and Milton Freedman will be at Starbucks having a coffee and discussing matters of mutual interest  ;)


 
Economic Left/Right: -1.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.28

huh! Who knew? I gotta dig out some Ayn Rand and John Adams, quick!
 
Economic Left/Right: -4.38

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.51

Interesting.  I guess I shouldn't have thrown in so many 'strongly's' for variety.
 
Hmmm, looks like I'm the odd one out here. I thought I was more moderate than that:

Economic Left/Right: -6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.38

Since it is an internet test, I'll only reflect momentarily of the results. I don't really see myself as akin to Gandhi.

 
Economic Left/Right: -4.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.46

Now I've just confused myself ::)
 
Economic Left/Right: 2.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 4.21


Well according to this, I'm right alongside Jacques Chirac, maybe a little above him.
 
I prefer Pournelle's Axes (http://www.baen.com/chapters/axes.htm).  There's no test, but you can imagine where you might stand.

The advantage of Pournelle's Axes is that they are based on essential philosophical postures rather than merely two particular qualities (such as the "economic" and "social").
 
Economic Left/Right: 2.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.26
 
Everybody listen up!

Economic Left/Right +3.75

Liberal/Authoritarian +1.54
 
Economic Left/Right: 2.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.10

 
Economic Left/Right: 0.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.85

....OMG, I'm Paul Martin :-[.......*sets fire to self*...............
 
Forgot the exact readings but I scored almost exactly the same spot as Ghandi, which makes me wonder considering there are a lot of peoples asses I want to kick. Think the test could have used some more in depth questions..
 
Over somewhere near Thatcher, which is a good thing, in my opinion...

Economic Left/Right: 3.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 5.08
