Since we have a lot of political debate on the board I figured I would post this link up and people could post their results.

i also apparenty close to pope jp2, which is a good thing. though i think i was a little more centrist, basically i dont trust big companies, what is good for the market is not always good for the people.
authoritarian/ left.

Economic Left/Right: 4.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.69

I actually think some of those questions could have used some clarification, like the first question: "If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations." I don't think I 'agree' or 'disagree' w/the statement. I think that globalisation serves BOTH humanity in general AND trans-national corporations, independent of any human control.

Anyways, I think I've alot more in common economically w/Maggie Thatcher than Hitler (my Econ L/R indicator should be 4 pts higher IMO). But on their scale I'm awfully close to Tony Blair . I respect and admire him a great deal but our economic policies would differ greatly.

Anyways. Very cool site. I'll be emailing it to all my buddies.
