Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -5.25
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -6.97

not exactly sure what this means...though it indicates that i have tendencies to be a left libralist??? or maybe not

interesting none the same now i will read the blurb which i missed out before taking the quiz to understand the meaning of this

it means you're somewhere around gandhi, which is never a bad thing.

it basically means you're liberal and open-minded but without being an axe-wielding anarchist and/or extreme rights protester. you believe in freedom of the individual but not a totally lawless society, right? that's basically reflected in the result you got from the quiz.

it could be because, and i really don't what this to sound patronising, as you're in the process of developing political views becoming aware of world issues etc which most people do around your age, your views tend to be quite polarized ie, pretty black and white. i'm guessing you answered strongly disagree/agree to a lot of things which is all well and good as there are plenty of things on there you should feel strongly about, but i think (or i've found) that as you get older and become exposed to things like taxes/voting/horrible real world stuff, that your views tend to be tempered and you end up being less idealistic. which is not necessarily a good thing but seems to be the way it happens. enjoy it while you can

i do agree with you about agreeing/disagreeing with most of the questions strongly...though i found somethings hard to answer because of the situation which i have been brought up in...for example do i think that rich are too highly taxed...if i think they are if find it hard to say that i agree because i wouldnt have all the opportunities which i have if it werent for my parents...
i have always been interested in politics...though my views have been becoming less extreme (i no longer believe that an anarchist society would work and i also no longer wish to be a member of the socialist party) though many of my views about subjects such as those expressed in the communist manifesto (which i tried to read when i was 11 unsuccessfully) i still agree with but now i acknowledge that these ideas are good in principal but do not work because of the human tempremant and ambition
though when i get to experience the nastiness of reality such as taxes im sure they will be effected again
hope to see you soon
