He did what I want a Tory leader to do. Fail to become PM. For that we must applaud him.

Psyc.

Actually Hague probably would have been the most liberal Conservative PM. Certainly seemed human enough. Eep.

I remember the classic moment on 'Have I Got News For You' when a picture of Hague trying to win votes came up and Paul Merton said 'that looks like one baby trying to inflate another baby's head...'

People remember Ghengis Khan...

Although I'd probably vote for him over the Tories, as he was in Bill and Ted's excellent adventure.

Two questions in and I can't answer smiley - laugh

"I'd always support my country, whether it was right or wrong."

Do they mean the government?

I mean I'll always support the country itself dispite being against what the government is doing (like now) and won't justify what they're if I'm against it...

I think it might be a measure of authoritarianism (it should be banned) or a measure of capitalism (people should be allowed to make money from mindless ****)

I'm libertarian left eh?

Strange I always thought myself libertarian right smiley - laugh

Then again I disagree with a lot of that survey how there's no middle ground.

There is a left bias on the quiz - that is to say all the right-wing questions are at the extremes, causing more mildly right-wing people to be put a little further left than expected.

I want to disagree with that Communism not being the opposite of Fascism aswell... smiley - laugh

I got:

"Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -4.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.59 "

I think Communism is the opposite of Capitalism, but then things get more complicated when Fascism is added to the mix...

Mine was:

"Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.03"
