Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm just annoyed slightly that there was no centre option. On those questions where I didn't really care/have an opinion I always chose disagree. I also agree with Aqizzar about the loaded questions.

I do think it overly assumes you're gonna have an opinion on everything, but that might be the point. What questions didn't you have an opinion on, anyway?

I guess this means I'm conservative?

Nope, you're centre authoritarian.

Which is... Sort of fascist.

Basically:
Authoritarianism ( Fascism ) - Libertarianism ( Hippies )
Left ( Handouts to the Poor ) - Right ( Laissez-Faire Dog eat Dog World )

Oh god, I'm Moderate Hitler? (By the way, I propose that that should be an official alignment.)

Anyway, the questionaire was odd. For example, it asked me about abortion, and Strongly Agree/Agree/Disagree/Strongly Disagree makes it sound like the only opinions I could have on the subject were "Abortion is cool!" and "NAZIS INVENTED ABORTION".

The Nazis gave such a bad name to fascism. =( Nazism technically isn't fascism, anyway, it's too mixed up with a load of other crap which makes it Nazism. Basically, in the rock paper scissors world of Right Authoritarian, Left Libertarian and Centre, Nazism is the mushroom.

Moderate Hitler, Extreme Stalin, Liberated Roosevelt. An RPG based around the political concepts of the 20th century sounds good.

I did this before... I got left-ish with a slightly libertarian slant.  I may have moved more to the libertarian end since.

Then again, even when answering questions from an "Elite Liberal" or "Arch Conservative" perspective I couldn't get it to the corners.  So... yeah.

To be honest, I have to disagree with the placement of parties... it seems pretty arbitrary.  I mean, all main British political parties are classed as "right wing".  This just doesn't make sense... surely the centre should be around where the middle of the viewpoint is, rather than the point where the person doing the quiz thinks is "right".

Interestingly enough, labour is more right wing, and slightly less Authorative, than the BNP...

But don't worry about being slightly authorative. Thats fine, its when you hit the extremes we have to start worrying about you.

If you can get married, leave home, get a job and buy a house you are probably capable of choosing a political party.

Ok, so any 16 year old who has proven themself capable of doing those things can vote, I'll grant you that. But to be honest most 16 year olds just aren't mature enough to vote seriously. Then again I'm probably biased by way of thinking democracy is a ridiculous idea.

Well, there's no competance condition to vote, is there?  The whole point of voting is that it's a right given to everyone.  If you're gonna eligability test 16 year olds, why not everyone else?
