@jackjjackson Oh my gosh! Jack, you're a leftie libtard!!!!!!!

I'm joshing with you. I wonder what my result will show. Care to have a guess?

Looks as though I’m pretty much a moderate centrist. A number of people who have put in theirs appear to be. Looking forward to seeing yours my friend. Let me know. You’re probably not as left as you think lol. @room101

@jackjjackson Your result is what I expected mine to be. Rather shockingly, I'm far more left leaning than I imagined.

On economic issues, I'm at -6.13
On social issues, I'm -5.44

How about that. At least we aren’t above the horizontal dictator line lol. @room101

@room101 Its interesting that political values can be the same but interpreted differently. I'm pretty much the same place as you on that grid but we sometimes support different things.

@jackjjackson I am surprised by your score though.

@Burnley123 I really blame how old some of the questions are. I think if there was some pointed stuff about immigration it'd change things a lot for several people.

@CountScrofula I agree. Also, IMO there is an issue of framing in mainstream politics which distorts how people vote. Do Trump supporters who hate cultural liberalism and PC support his actual economic agenda? Do Clinton supporters who are centre left and not the socialist' Bernie bros actually want an interventionist foreign policy. Tribalism based on the culture war effects how principles translate to votes.

I’ve told you all along that I’m a moderate centrist that can’t stand Mrs Clinton. This apparently verifies what I have stated. Go figure. Did you take it? @Burnley123
