There have been many threads on this site with tests to determine one thing or another--for those of you who are interested in politics and such--here is a test you can take that can more accurately help you determine what your political leanings are:

I took it and of course---I am a "Liberal"

Dang! According to this, I am even more liberal than I knew! LOL

Actually, darkeyes, the test focuses primarily on American politics and policy. So you're probably not really missing out, since I assume that some but not necessarily all of the test would be applicable to the UK. (General theory would, perhaps, but not necessarily specific questions.)

But hey, sometimes I get a kick out of doing this stuff. Nothing serious.... just havin' some fun. (We coyotes like to do that on occasion.)

hmm, i ended up as a communitarian. Dont know if this is a valid quiz though. With only 20 questions I dont think it is a large enough sample to truly prove someone's position. Personally I (and most people I know) consider myself extreme left wing. Socially and politically I believe the Soviet Union pre-Stalin was on the right track. But the Stalin happened. :(

I was in the libertarian square but very close to the middle of the entire diagram. I think I appear more conservative than I am, because I support gun rights, oppose abortion, support school prayer, and oppose raising taxes. But on most things I tend to think of myself as liberal! I kinda wanted to get in the liberal box.

Libertarian, as I expected. When I was in high school, my boyfriend at the time was a staunch Republican. Worked for a senator, ran for school board, carried a picture of Nixon in his wallet. He gave me a test similar to this. At 16 my results were the same, libertarian. Some things never change I guess.
