Your personal view is what I took from it
No what is a left wing authoritarian I mean
BTW my actual results were almost in the middle but slightly in left wing authoritarian.
But looking it up , I can't really find much about it .
Hence my question .
I will admit there were a couple of questions I didn't really understand , part of the reason for that is being a thick c**t from tile hill .
So there’s several axis you can try and measure political alignment on, but the most common and the one used here is economic on the left/right axis (left being generally government should get involved in the economy and right they shouldn’t), and how liberal or authoritarian you are socially on the up/down axis.
“authoritarian” is a funny term and different political scientists call it different things like “small c conservative” or “socially conservative” or “communitarian” because authoritarian sounds bad. Basically it’s the idea that the needs of the group outweigh the needs of the individual. You’re more likely to be for things like respect for authority, traditional values, community, country. “Faith and flag” it’s sometimes called.
Rationally economic liberalism (right wing) goes best with social liberalism, and economic control (left wing) goes best with social control (authoritarianism), but people being people we seem to have ended up with a right wing authoritarian and a liberal left party despite most people being left wing authoritarians.
I'd like to know how they decided to place the parties on there as it looks a little bit like bullshit.I know it's hardly a massive sample and I think some of the questions felt a bit leading but it does seem odd that the results of our little data set don't put anyone, even those more right wing, anywhere near most of the right-wing parties. Even Grendel, who so far has been a bit of an outlier, isn't near the likes of the Tories.

Centre left and centre right ?

Pretty much what I thought tbh. Still mildly interesting though.The mapping of the parties is bollocks but then I believe the site has a left wing agenda, which is portrayed in its blogs. My guess is that the dots are based upon an interpretation, if any, of manifestos rather than individual polling.
The scoring.... tries to make out you have to be Attila the Hun to vote Tory
The scoring is nonsense and tries to make out you have to be Attila the Hun to vote Tory - the reality is in voting patterns over the last 4 decades

Not really the compass is rubbish and all its really achieved, if anything, is make the forum righties look more balanced than the forum lefties (no real surprise there.)Everyone is a socialist, most just don’t realise it. My advice. Stop reading headlines and start reading manifestos.
Basically I'm stalin
Ha ha ha. Yeah, more balanced. There was two ways to answer those questions. Like you’re a complete c**t or compassionately. Showing compassion seems to put you in the bottom left.Not really the compass is rubbish and all its really achieved, if anything, is make the forum righties look more balanced than the forum lefties (no real surprise there.)
