Politics
Since there is an election approaching, I decided to do the test on Political Compass. The result was:
Economic Left/Right: 8.88(Almost all the way to the right)
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.31(Quite Libertarian)
Even though some of the questions are somewhat peculiar it appears to be fairly accurate, although -4.31 seems far too statist for my liking. (I think -10 would be better.)
Similarly, i did the test on Who should you vote for? which came out like this:

Who should I vote for? v2
Your expected outcome:
UK Independence PartyYour actual outcome:
Labour -19 ![]() | |
![]() | |
Liberal Democrat -67 ![]() | |
![]() | |
Green -34 ![]() |
You should vote: UK Independence Party
UKIP's primary focus is on Europe, where the party is strongly against joining both the EU constitution and the Euro. UKIP is also firmly in favour of limiting immigration. The party does not take a clear line on some other policy issues, but supports scrapping university tuition fees; it is strongly against income tax rises and favour reducing fuel duty.
Take the test at Who Should You Vote For
Since there isn't a UKIP candidate here, i should probably vote Conservative, although the Monster Raving Looney Party has some intriguing "Manicfesto" pledges, including:
"Our team of experts has decided that Income Tax has not proved popular with the public and will therefore be abolished"
" We will issue a 99p coin to save on change"
and best of all "The Official Monster Raving Loony Party will not join the single European currency. We will invite all Europeans countries to JOIN THE POUND
