Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Parliament has dissolved, writs have been drawn, and Canada is now gearing up for its 43rd general election.To celebrate this new election season, which I'm sure will be delightful and not acrimonious in the slightest, I've decided to revisit a time-honed Spiderweb tradition: taking the Political Compass test! If you've taken it before, see how much you've changed since 2015, or 2012, or 2011, or 2010, or 2007, or--- you get the picture. And once you've posted your results, discuss them! Discuss the test! Complain about the test! Complain about the placement of Canada's political parties! Complain about the vastly inferior and deeply flawed Vote Compass made by Vox Pop Labs! Complain about Canadian politics in general! (on the off chance that you're not canadian and are, in fact, from some different country, i suppose you can talk and/or complain about politics there and maybe even link some country-specific tests that we can all take? that would be super cool of you) Alternatively, you could take the 5 Dimensional Politial Compass that Slarty posted in 2017. Spoiler Economic Left/Right: -6.0 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.51 For the record: 2007: (2.00, 2.92) 2010: (0.62, -1.13) 2011: (-1.88, -2.56) 2012: (-0.50, -0.97) 2015: (-4.50, -5.03) 2019: (-6.00, -6.51) Quote Also, how the hell have we managed to coexist so far, you fascist? 😛 - Arancaytar, 2007 As for the 5D test: You are a: Communist Pro-Government Humanist Progressive Collectivism score: 100% Authoritarianism score: 33% Internationalism score: 0% Tribalism score: -67% Liberalism score: 50% Which is quite a shift from my 2017 results, but I don't think that's due to any major changes on my part. Last time, I answered 'maybe' a lot more, whereas this time I only put down 'maybe' when I was truly torn.

Unflappable Drayk Radix Malorum Est Cupiditas Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Hmm. Just as anarchist, but quite a shift left from the last time we did this. But still far further right than the rest of you socialists. I find it ironic that just yesterday I was called alt-right by someone online, but as far as I can tell I'm further left than any of the candidates in the US democratic primary aside from Bernie.

Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I am not surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Edgwyn Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I came out almost exactly in the middle, Right 0.13 and Libertarian -0.26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Economic Left/Right: -6.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.59 —Alorael, who has been stable over time. He's drifted less than one point on each axis from what he remembers as his position when he first took this test years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Owenmoz Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Economic Left/Right: -8.5 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.59 Which isnt surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Radix Malorum Est Cupiditas Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Just voted today. I feel like I have deja vu, we just did this. Enjoy your free day next month Dinti. And to all the Americans, well you have a while to go. Vote in the primaries or something, I guess.

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Alas, it isn't a holiday. And even if it was, I wouldn't have the day off -- I'm an election officer again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the results from yesterday, (not that anyone's surprised,) I predict a third election in a few months. Will we get a hat trick of tied elections where nobody can form a coalition? Only time will tell! I'm going with yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 Oh, it pays fine, especially for temp work. It's a decent gig, not complaining. And good luck with things over there. It's nutty all over these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
